Publicists issue statements and speak on behalf of their clients everyday (ie. Tom Cruise, Will Smith, etc.). That is a part of our job as PR Professionals.
God Bless,

Lynn,
And as a PR professional, you also know that "speaking on behalf" of clients "requesting privacy surrounding an issue" and granting interviews and the client granting subsequent interviews is contradictory in nature.
But from your terse response, it wasn't clear whether you wished to add any clarity to this issue. If your email is the only thing you have to add in terms of clarity, then you understand that as a fellow member of the media that "the media" will come to our own conclusions on the basis of the information available.
I posed my commentary in the form of questions...instead of addressing any of them individually or collectively, you chose to "school me" on the role of a publicist.
In turn, I will not "school you" on the responsibility of a writer for the media...I'll just let my subsequent editorial say anything and everything accordingly.

(Just FYI, Mo'Kelly was already QUITE clear that publicists speak for clients...like Mo'Kelly is an idiot or something?!) Wait til she gets a load of Mo'Kelly's refresher course on "the role" of editorial columnists come tomorrow?! Mo'Kelly was nice and respectful to the issue and people involved; even gave folks the benefit of the doubt. Now the REAL Mo'Kelly (jokes and all will be unleashed.) It's ON AND CRACKALACKIN!
Jeter had the opportunity to enter into a serious dialogue about the issue of domestic violence "on behalf of her client" and generate positive press...you know, what a PUBLICIST is hired to do.
She now just accomplished the opposite and there will be no remorse afterwards.
Sorry in advance LisaRaye...it won't be personal...just "business."
