Sorry seems to be the hardest word
November 24, 2011
The Daily Mail refused to post my comment on its PR ad for Elle MacPherson so I will reproduce it here:
“This article is nothing more than PR damage limitation for Elle MacPherson after her former tax advisor, Mrs Mary Ellen Field, gave evidence at the Levenson Inquiry into media ethics this week.”
Mrs Field described how she lost her job, suffered serious ill health and was bullied into attending Ms MacPherson’s former rehab centre for (non-existent) alcoholism after MacPherson wrongly accused Mrs Field of leaking details of her private life to the press. These accusations have since been proved to be totally untrue and in fact the leaks were due to Elle MacPherson’s phone being hacked by the tabloid press. Since Mrs Field lost her job due to these totally false allegations she has not heard a word from her former client and Elle MacPherson refuses to enter into any discussions on the matter of phone hacking in general or Mrs Field in particular.
Instead of doing the rounds of the popular press this week in such a desperate act of self-promotion, Ms MacPherson would be better viewed by those who have been following the Levenson Inquiry by making a public apology to Mary Ellen Field.
“Sorry Mary Ellen. I was wrong.” How hard can it be?
