Britney Spears – One PR Disaster at a time

Britney Spears – One PR Disaster at a time
Britney Spears shot to fame in a very short span of time but her descent, especially with PR disasters has also been an accelerated one. Nonetheless the singer/actor has always been a tabloid magnet, be it from shaving her head, talking in a bizarre English accent at an interview to nearly dropping her baby in public.

Britney Spears Genitalia Blunder

The latest of her PR disasters include the blunder where she shocked thousands of fans when they heard her mentioning her genitalia backstage.

What transpired was that when Spears was lowered under the stage after a performance (I am a slave for you), she didn’t realize that the microphone was still on and went on to tell members of her crew that, “my p***y was hanging out”. Inevitably, the whole audience of the show heard it and responded by laughing and cheering loudly.

Spears Almost Drops her Baby

The next PR debacle that Spears made was when she stumbled and nearly dropped her baby, to a PR agency’s horror, in public. Baby Sean Preston was then (May 2006) just eight months old and was saved by Spear’s quick thinking bodyguard who caught him before his head hit the floor. Witness claimed that significantly, Britney didn’t spill a single drop of the drink that she was holding in her other hand. She was distraught by the incident and broke down in tears. However, the incident put her parenting skills at question and rumors abound of her being an unfit mother.

Britney’s Disastrous Performance at VMA

What was supposed to be her comeback, Spears’s performance of September 9, 2007 at the MTV Video Music awards was good for her, worse for the other Hollywood folks and a disaster for many. She was supposed to kick-off the awards but instead, it turned out to a very terrible start with her bad costume and lackluster performance to the tune of her new ‘Gimme More’ number. Viewers overall were of the opinion that she could have used more rehearsal.

There is one thing for sure; Britney’s PR Agency may never go out of work given the debacles she manages to pull off every now and then. The only drawback is that they have to work round the clock though.
