something that wasn't a good business practice. Or something that was in poor taste, you just couldn't do it." She added: "I genuinely did not think that aligning with celebrities is and was a good idea.
I don't think the American public by and large care about who is hobnobbing with celebrities, it's the forbidden fruit, it's tempting, it's right there, it's the shiny object. "I don't think its a working model, I'm allowed to have that opinion. I thought there were mistakes on both sides but when I expressed an opinion, regardless of who I was voting for, I was attacked on both sides and attacking each other and fighting in the comments.
