Nothing Is Off Record: Juliet Harris on Crisis PR, Rachel Leviss & Taylor Frankie Paul

What happens when a celebrity scandal breaks, the internet is on fire, and everyone is waiting for the perfect statement? According to veteran publicist Juliet Harris, nothing is ever really “off record.”This week on After Reality, I’m joined by the founder of IT Girl Productions for a behind-the-scenes look at crisis PR, celebrity scandals, and reputation management. Juliet has worked with major names including Nelly, The Backstreet Boys, La Toya Jackson, and Rachel Leviss, and she knows exactly what it takes to help a public figure survive a public storm. But what does accountability actually look like when the spotlight is on you — and is a statement ever enough?Juliet shares how she went from studying criminology to managing high-profile reputations, and what really happens behind the scenes when a headline starts spiraling. We talk about how social media has changed the PR game, why accountability matters, and how publicists decide what to say — and what not to say — when the internet is watching.We also get into the latest celebrity PR parallels, from Taylor Frankie Paul to Blake Lively, Spencer Pratt’s run for mayor, and how reality TV personas can collide with real-life consequences. Plus, Juliet shares her thoughts on The Bachelorette PR team, what they may be navigating behind the scenes, and how a franchise handles headlines when the story starts moving faster than the official messaging.Juliet also opens up about balancing a demanding career with motherhood, staying organized under pressure, and why great PR is really a strategic chess game built on instinct, relationships, and knowing when to make the right move.@itgirlpublicrelations Hosted on Acast.
