#Lady Amber's PR

[herejusttosufferalong]

Part 1:  I have a new theory on where L&N are at.  I’m prefacing this by saying this is all my opinion, just a new interpretation of what was publicly shown. Also, imagine me starting all my sentences below with “I think…”

I will start with Brazil – L&N have a serious chat here, but nothing physically happened; just outlined what he needs to do next, but they are finally on the same page. That’s why they’re so happy there.  L then sent a message to A that they need to talk when he goes home.

A, during Brazil, chopped her hair, posted stories in L’s apartment, got babysat by R, S, Amber and Carla.

New interpretation of A shenanigans: I always thought that the IG stories of her chopped hair plus L’s apartment looked smug to me. Before, I thought it was a message to fans reminding us that Lukola can’t be real because she exists. But what if those were messages to L implying that he can’t drop her that easily because she had access to his house and his friends. It could be possible that she herself arranged the outings with his friends, instead of him arranging babysitting duties.

During the 2-week break before Toronto, what people thought of as Luke’s apology tour with A (i.e. liking back her IG posts from July) was damage control for him and N. L actually breaks up with A during this period but he has to agree to certain conditions from A. Agreement could include helping her SM following, bringing her to events for networking (especially those that were already planned before the break up), her own membership to Soho, etc.

Why? A could easily throw a homewrecker narrative against N. It is easy to conceive that there was an overlap between her and N. However, even if there was none, A will have no trouble selling that narrative especially since we saw what we saw with those two in the WT, plus there are already homewrecker rumblings against N for L&J relationship. A friend pointed out as well, that if A is truly manipulative, she could use her age and naivete to her advantage, implying that she was patiently and quietly waiting on the sidelines while L fulfils his PR responsibilities, without any clue that these were all going on. She doesn’t even have to outright lie, but even a short statement with cheating implications can do damage to N.

Toronto – L&N became a couple officially. We’ve seen their interviews, so I won’t spend too much time here but in Toronto they were hubby-wife coded not even BF-GF. N posted Louvre while in Toronto as well. Lyrics “Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession. Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor.”

https://www.popsongprofessor.com/blog/2017/6/16/what-does-the-louvre-by-lorde-mean

Ireland – again, we saw what we saw, but I will stress that what happened here is what N meant when she said, ‘I can be boss bitch lady at work but when I’m home, I’m baby here’ and L rose to the occasion.

London - differing opinions on London vibes up to premiere. My new take: both are sad that their bubble is ending. N looked like she’s bracing herself and maybe withdrawing because while they can continue privately, she knows L still needs to do some work to fully disengage with A. L is reaching out more, I think to reassure her that he’s 💯 in and they will be okay.

Redemption song – I’ll be honest, this stumped me a bit. I focused on these lyrics: There’s no time for crying, only time for trying now. But I also think that this is N reassuring L, that even if their plans fall flat this time around, he only needs to try again, and she will fall again.

Pap walk - neither L nor A arranged that but A took advantage of the situation in the hotel. Thus, the 🦀 walk. She effectively prolonged her stay because it established her presence in the GA not just fandom. I don’t think L knew that they got papped until the DM posts came out.

So L, possibly with advice from PR team this time, has to pretend to still be in a relationship with A until he can “break up” with her with no or minimal damage to him and especially N. So, we mostly get group trips, we get awkward photos that eventually get leaked to the public, A’s attempts to ride on N’s coattails, etc. I think they have agreed on the date when they will “publicly” break up; it is possible that it’s before S4 filming.

So that’s the gist.  I will send a Part 2 with the list of items that I think will be raised.

Ok this will be posted in 4 parts. Anon, I just have to say, I'm LOVING your theories! I don't agree with EVERYTHING, but a lot of this aligns with my thoughts that I have shared on the blog, and it is TOTALLY feeding my delulu rn! 😍

What are everyone else's thoughts??

[papirouge]

I’m from the us and I wonder if some of these more hardcore trad girls who wish we all lived in the 40s and 50s are aware that their idolization of 50s housewives is based on fake ads. So many women back then were either on drugs given to them by their doctor or hid their true feelings out of fear from their husbands because husbands back then were able to throw their wives into psychiatric hospitals for lobotomies if they had a mental breakdown over their lives or anything. Some girls were lobotomized just for being more free spirited and less like a “lady” and their families sent them to those hospitals. My grandma who lived through that time worked as a nurse had a lot of sad stories of meeting women who were trapped in abusive marriages, having kids they didn’t want and since postpartum depression wasn’t understood well, the “therapy” offered was electroshocks to the head or something else. And they knew that they would be thrown into mental hospitals and kept there until the doctor claimed those women were “cured” - there are other things I remember talking to grandma about before she passed, and while I like some of the aesthetics of trad living, there’s a lot of ignorance from young girls who don’t know the reality of what a lot of women had gone through back then :/ it’s not just sitting in a kitchen eating aprons and baking cake all day.

Well, I have nothing to add because you pretty much said it all, but overall I'm SICK of revisionist vision about womanhood and how women have been treated in recent History

You nailed it about 50s/60s housewives, but tbh I'm still seething about how some radfem try to rehabilitate 00s icon as some martyr of modern pop culture when they have done objectively awful things and that the way they've been treated by media can't solely be inputted on misogyny

Paris Hilton? the woman who infamously said lesbians were disgusting on tape and has an obsessive hate boner against Black men (there's this story floating about her saying she and Vin Diesel hooked up in a club and when she realized how 'dark' he was on more natural lights, dumped him💀)?

I wouldn't be surprised radfem would still defend her though, saying shit like "sHe wAs so YouNg" .....when homegirl was already in her 20s and that being young isn't an excuse for homophobia or racism 💀 Paris Hilton was quite awful in her peak (mid-late 00s) and she being antagonized by media was quite understandable actually. It was literally her brand. Zoomers who barely lived in that era have no idea of what they're talking about.

Her PR machine went OFF with that documentary about her abuse in that rich kids school and did an excellent job glossing over the many shady shit she did afterwards under the "disturbed rich girl" shtick....

I have second hand embarrassment watching (lesbian) radfem who bought into it and jumped on the rehabilitation bandwagon....

And TBH /unpopular opinion/ but I feel the same about Britney. Homegirl went off the rails after her In the Zone album, and as shady her family was, there was solid ground in putting her under tutorship (her erratic behavior, marrying that paparazzi guys, shaving her head, then assaulting journalists.... Regardless her -understandable- reasons for behaving like this (mental illness, mind control, etc.) those were valid ground to put under legal check, and I'm sick of people acting that there were some sort of mediatic conspiracy against Britney to make her fall out... Media harassment was just the nail on the coffin - she being overworked and controlled all her life was the main reason for her snapping like she did.

And don't get me started about Amber Heard stans acting like anyone supporting Johnny Depp has been brainwashed WHEN JOHNNY DEPP IS A LITERAL HOLLYWOOD ACTOR WHOSE STARDOM/FAME PREDATES THE INTERNET CONTAGION EFFECT PARTISANSHIP. If anything the general public supporting him instead of Amber is the organic status quo, and the only 'internet brainwashing ' was those viral tweet/Tiktok seeking to "expose" Depp and rally people to Heard's cause, which is a tactic that even Heard applaud , see :

You see TikTok defending Depp so you start being on his side? "YOu'vE beEn bRainWashEd"

You see Tiktok defending Heard so you start being in her side? "THats sO rEasDurIng to rEad #thetideisturning"

I just loathe how flipflopping these people are when it comes to interpret turn of events depending whether it fits their bias or not.

Also people need to stop expecting another #freebritney moment whenever they think a woman gets unfairly treated by the media. Britney was America's sweetheart. No other female celebrity comes close to the impact and influence she got on a whole generation of girls, who later on became publicist, journalists, blogger, etc. and held enough mediatic leverage to make that movement happen. That's not going to happen for Heard who, beside wifing Johnny Depp, is a literal "who", and is nowhere near having the endearing aura of Britney (doesn't Heard have the reputation of behaving poorly with people? She spat on her assistant face when she complained about some stuff💀)

RELEASE BLITZ: MONSTROUS BOND

Title: Monstrous Bond Author: Harper A. Brooks & R.K. Pierce Genre: Monster Romance Cover Designer: Lin’Diana Publication Date: Dec. 15th, 2022 Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR Blurb: Dark magic and a raging libido can get a girl in trouble…   They say never mix magic with pleasure, but after one too many bad dates, that’s exactly what I do.   To my surprise, instead of getting off, I get a portal to…

[originalleftist]

Musk's Drug-Addled Parties.

Back at the height of the Depp v Heard trial, I recall seeing an allegation, reported by a pro-Depp influencer and taken up by the crazier of his fans, that she had been involved in coercive, drug-addled sex parties while she was with Elon Musk (some got even more bizarre, ranting about "Satanic" sex parties, because apparently at some point "Depp fan" and "Q Anon" started to overlap heavily).

As a vocal Heard supporter, I am obviously not unbiased, but there are a number of reasons to view this story skeptically, including the biased source, the fact that it never gained much traction even when bashing Amber Heard was a guaranteed PR and financial winner, not even from Depp's own team (though perhaps this can be explained by fear of antagonizing Musk), and above all the way it attempted to paint Heard as the villain behind these alleged actions, instead of the billionaire Epstein pal with a history of abuse and being friendly with abusers. This is an obvious invocation of the classic misogynist stereotype of the Conniving Woman corrupting the Great Man which goes back to Adam and Eve, through Lady MacBeth, and right up to the present.

I also speculated that it was an (another) attempt to catch Heard supporters in a catch-22- we're supposed to be the ones who say "believe women" and call out abusers, so accuse Heard of sexual abuse, thereby forcing us to either disavow her or reveal ourselves as hypocrites.

In part, it simply seemed too convenient.

Regardless, it never gained much traction outside of hardcore Depp Troll land. So, why do I bring it up now?

Well, today I saw a piece by the Wall Street Journal about concerns over Musk (now about to be, God help us all, a Cabinet Secretary) having parties with illicit drugs where the participants signed NDAs. And I thought, huh, that sounds a bit familiar.

Now, do I consider the Wall Street Journal a trustworthy source? No (although as a Right-wing outlet, I'd expect it more likely to be biased in Musk's favour).

Do I now think that Amber Heard was the one behind whatever the fuck Musk may or may not have been doing? No, I don't. People have been trying to make her fit every misogynist stereotype under the Sun for a while, but people are not stereotypes, nor a collection of them, and Amber Heard is a person, not a character or a trope.

On that note, I'll quote Musks' daughter (though she has renounced any association with him) Vivian Jenna Wilson:

(The above was part of a series of recent posts on Threads where she addressed different false claims about herself.)

Ms Wilson is one of Musk's harshest critics, and has elsewhere confirmed his use of ketamine and his abusive behaviour, so I think we can safely say that she is not inclined to cover for him. This would support the conclusion that the stories about Heard were probably manipulated or outright fabricated to smear her by association, while being possibly based on/inspired by Musk's actual behaviour

But I do increasingly think that there is probably a grain of truth to them, at least as pertains to Musk's own behaviour- which is then misrepresented to shift the blame from him onto Heard and vilify her by association. Following these connections, provided one does so critically and not taking the associations made at face value, may provide vital insight into how propaganda operates- including by interweaving truth and falsehood.

dear anon: i was talking in general. i am well aware that blake lively and ryan reynolds are both white people :)

justin whatever his last name is, is a cishet, rich, white man. on top of the food chain basically, this is as privileged as one can get…facing zero discrimination based on anything about him.

why in the world would i be standing behind someone who does not need it?

in our day and age, misogyny is unfortunately extremely rampant. i would much rather try to lessen the vitriol a woman gets than a man who has all the people in the world defending him based on nothing.

if you are a white male actor, all you have to do is be a decent person and you will have the entire planet supporting your mediocre ass…be a woman and the first time you slip up or don’t act the way people expect you to, everyone immediately switches up on you.

it was important to bring up his race because yk damn well if a brown or black man was unfollowed by the whole cast and crew, it would be a very different reaction. accusations of mistreatment wouldn’t be treated as a hate campaign against him but rather as a gotcha moment “proving” that men of color are all this way.

ehhh but it's not lol so like what ifs are irrelevant? Like they're just not? Justin fwiw is more marginalised than Ryan (both are cishet white dudes) in that Justin is Jewish, practices Bahá'ísm, and "looks" racially ambiguous tbh (like he's played Latino dudes before - shouldn't have since he's a white guy but... has because he's like kinda brown and racially ambiguous looking). It's a white dude fighting against a richer, more powerful, even whiter dude. Dafuq does race have to do with any of this?

and EVERYONE is saying that it's Ryan v him lol. It's not even Blake v Justin (in which case they'd still both be straight white people but yes she is a woman and ergo faces misogyny).

LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL WHITE MEN IN HOLLYWOOD has gone after another cishet white dude because, from what we can tell, he just doesn't like him very much. Sooooo yea. Justin's entitled to go get a PR crisis firm.

also if we start playing what ifs like then yes Amber x Johnny would’ve gone differently if he’d been a Black man? If a Black man sat laughing while a younger pretty white lady who’d accused him of abusing her cried like no one would’ve sided with the man (regardless of how many fucked up things the white lady did and tbf and this is important, Amber was not a perfect victim and did do fucked up things too). But like Johnny’s not Black so that’s a stupid hypothetical. And both Justin and Ryan are white and Ryan has way more power in this scenario?

Sometimes the path to the truth is littered with lies.

Amazon https://geni.us/WhenMonstersLove

If someone had told me that I’d find a haven among monsters, I’d have laughed in their face.

But I’ve learned to expect the unexpected.

Now, with the world’s fate hanging in the balance, it’s time to take a leap of faith.

Faith in myself.

It means leaving Shem, the watchers, and Bastian behind. It means walking into Michael’s arms and trusting that he’ll keep me alive long enough for me to complete my mission.

Because the third relic piece is hidden in the enemy camp, and I’m the only one who can get to it.

The Golden City awaits.

It's time to put my acting skills to the test.

It's time to lie.

Rue's journey continues in When Monsters Love. There's action, sizzle and multiple love interests for our lucky heroine in this paranormal fantasy romance.

REVIEW

Down & Dirty by Rhenna Morgan

Men of Haven #6

One of the true pleasures in my life is finding wonderful characters that I would love to know in real life. Each and every book in this series is such a book. Who wouldn’t like to have a “family” of men who have chosen one another to be “brothers” and live by a code of honor that puts family first...no  matter what. Add to that the men are HOT and ALPHA and know what they want when they see it and you have a series I eagerly await each book that comes out to see which man will meet his mate next. AND...this time it is Axel McKee who finds Elizabeth “Lizzy” Hemmings and knows she’s the one.

We meet Lizzy as she is getting to perform with her band Falcon Black and then she meets Axel when she goes out to get the band’s payment from the club owner they have just finished playing in. The guy is a bit of a scuzz-bucket with a reputation for trying to cheat performers out of money and Axel, knowing this, steps in...and it does not go over well. So, how is Axel to woo the lady if he makes a bad impression? Call in a brother? Perhaps.

What I liked:

* Axel – what a wonderful man he is...in all ways always!

* Lizzy – a brilliant musician and so strong to be able to overcome her past!

* The relationship between Axel & Lizzy – sizzling and so mature – in more ways than one

* Seeing the family members and how they are changing

* Meeting the band members and wondering if they might have books of their own

* Well...really...just everything about the book except for…

What I did not like:

* Joffrey – I was supposed to hate him and I did and was thrilled to see he was dealt with in the perfect way.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lady Amber Publicity, HQN-Carina and the author for this wonderful book in a superb series. This is my honest review.

Title: Down & Dirty

Author: Rhenna Morgan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Carina Press

Publication Date: March 11th, 2019 Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

The Men of Haven: fierce passion, unyielding loyalty.

Especially when it comes to their women.

A powerful man

Axel McKee abandoned his musical career years ago in favor of becoming a power player on the music scene. His dreams of the spotlight are over—and he’s better off for it. Working with his Haven brothers and building their empire is enough for him.

One who commanded attention with nothing more than a look

And then came Lizzy. A dynamic, beautiful powerhouse of a performer unlike any he’s seen or heard before. Her presence leaps off stage and into the heart of anyone who watches her sing. Axel wants her. Wants to help her and collaborate with her… But more than anything, he wants to be with her.

And every ounce of his attention was locked on her

Two things are immediately obvious: Lizzy’s been burned before, and earning her trust will be Axel’s biggest challenge yet. If he can get this fierce, stubborn, talented woman to see the passion and care that he’s offering, he might get a chance at a new dream—sharing the spotlight with the woman he loves.

Excerpt:

Lizzy watched.

And waited.

And tried like hell to keep the cocktail of rage, praise and outright fear mushrooming up in her chest from spewing all over the seemingly unfazed man next to her. She made it until Vic and his flat ass disappeared into the back office. By some miracle, her first words came out surprisingly restrained. “Tell me you’re a friend of Rex’s and not some stranger who not only just squarely stuck his nose right in the middle of my business, but knows enough details of my bookings to make me seriously uneasy.”

There was no hint to the smile he shot her this time, the sheer devilment behind the curve of his full lips potent enough to make the most hardened woman giggle like a little girl. “Don’t know anyone named Rex, lass, so we’re gonna have to go with door number two. Though, I wouldn’t let the fact that I knew how much you’d booked the gig for tweak you too much. Vic’s not the most creative guy. Every band that’s worth a damned gets the same deal.”

“And you know about bands and their going rates because…”

“Because I know music and I know bar owners.” He faced her fully and held out his hand. “Axel McKee.”

Damn, but the man’s voice was a weapon. Rich, deep, and made all the more intoxicating with the accent. But that was nothing compared to his presence. To the raw, masculine energy emanating off him and the startling focus behind his brilliant green eyes.

He kept his hand steady. Patiently waiting for her to take what he offered.

A crossroad moment.

How she knew it, she couldn’t say, but she felt it in her bones. Intuited the gravity of the situation the way prey recognized a predator had marked them as a target.

And yet, rather than run, she lifted her hand and pressed her palm against his.

Oh. Holy. Hell.

A shiver she didn’t have a prayer of containing moved through her and her breath hitched with all the subtlety of a woman who’d just felt a man’s lips on the back of her neck for the first time.

His fingers tightened around hers. A tangible testament that he’d felt and witnessed her response, which in itself should have mortified her. Instead the deepened connection resonated through her like a tether in the middle of straight-line wind.

“Lizzy Hemming.” The quaver in her response and the sexual rasp that went with it slapped her well-honed sense of self-preservation back into place, and she tugged her hand free with an awkward abruptness. “Though, you appear to already know that.”

“Everyone in this bar knows your name.”

“True, but not one of them saw fit to saunter over here and put my band’s income at risk.”

His smile really was a killer. Quick and loaded with mischief. “Vic’s an idiot, but he’s not that stupid. You covered a week’s worth of hourly wages for half of his staff on his cut of the door alone, and the way he’s trained his bartenders to short people on most of the drinks, you put him squarely in the black for the rest of the month. The last thing that’s gonna happen is you losing a booking.” He cocked his head the same way he had with Vic, only without the dangerous vibe behind his eyes. “Now, if you’re ready to stop playing gigs like this, that’s a whole different conversation.”

Every DEFCON alarm hardwired from past experience went off at once, blaring with enough decibels to nearly make her outwardly wince. As lead-ins went, it was a smooth one, but she’d learned the hard way what trusting smooth talkers earned you. Especially the hot ones. “How exactly is it you know Vic, but he doesn’t know you? And what do you mean, I know music?”

“I know Vic because—bad business man or not—he books good bands, and I make it my business to keep an eye out for good music in and around Texas. I know music because I love it. Have my whole life.”

“You make it your business why?”

His expression shifted. Narrowed with a shrewdness that made her feel as though he’d easily peeled away all her armor and studied the raw woman underneath. “You’re a guarded woman, Elizabeth. Why is that?”

“No one calls me Elizabeth. It doesn’t fit. Never has.”

One look. Ruthless determination behind his eyes and an uncompromising firmness to his lips. “It fits you perfectly. You’re just afraid to wear it.”
