Poor Press Relations

The talented actor (TA) enjoyed the peak of his stardom a few years ago when his movies were box office hits, his telerseryes were top rating, and several award-winning bodies recognized his acting talent. Then, his personal life got in the way. Until now, the repercussions of that unfortunate incident are still creating ripples in his career. Unfortunately, his silence has created a negative image on his part that portrayed him as uncooperative and difficult to deal with. This present image was quite different in his early days, when he was approachable.

So, when and where did the change happen?

In a recent event where TA was at the red carpet ceremony, some press people asked if he could be interviewed. TA agreed without hesitation. As the press was setting up and TA was waiting for the question, someone from his production took his arm and pulled him away from the press. Of course, the press was  surprised and later on infuriated by the act. It seemed to them that they would not be able to do the interview after all.

What was the point of putting TA there in that  big event if he would only be prohibited to mingle with the press? Was there something that the production was afraid of? Did they not trust TA enough to give only the answers that they want thrown at the press? Is he not that mature enough to handle his issues on his own? Instead of helping TA improve his image, it looks like his own production is orchestrating his ruin.
