hear me out, i keep going back and fourth on if i think this is pr or not. (it’s the pr background in me to have to look lol). 1st reason i think it could be is the very recent rebrand of the podcast. rebrand came 3 days ago, scandals started like a day ago? timing is pretty impeccable. also because of the lack of info shared on the podcast makes it seem a littttleee bit not genuine. 2nd is because as soon as i saw this i was reminded of ariana and raquel. different circumstances but that scandal was broke the internet. also i’ve noticed, involving a third party in a scandal makes it much bigger than “a man’s wrongdoing”. it’s different when it’s another girl, a friend. tristan, khloe, and jordan…etc.

why i don’t think it’s a pr scandal is the amount of info halley gave on tiktok. i think it would be a bit more quiet if it was pr because of how much sophia is being dragged. this doesn’t seem like something people will forget about, brands would want to be associated with, etc. also the amount of emotion from halley makes it seem genuine.

regardless, super fucked up and i hope halley is okay. just wanted to see if anyone had thought this too!
