I know that many Kiwis will not know who Kerry Katona is or will be familiar with breakfast TV programme 'This Morning.'
Just to provide some brief background information- Kerry Katona used to be part of a very successful British girl band called 'Atomic Kitten.' Since she left the group she has gone through divorce, drug addiction, depression and bankruptcy. Recently, she has had something of a body makeover and has been promoting a new TV series. Clearly, the message she wants to get out is 'I have got my life back on track.'
Yesterday morning, she appeared on 'This Morning', an extremely popular show which is watched by a huge portion of the British population. She came across as confused, uncoordinated and slurred her way through the entire interview. She also became incredibly defensive when questioned about her alcohol consumption.
Why, oh why, would any self-respecting publicist allow her to get up in front of a camera in this state? The whole thing was a train wreck and simply awful to watch. To be completely honest, I would be sacking her whole PR team or at least having very stern words with them.
Mindyou, I'm imagining that the TV shows viewing figures haven't suffered too much......
Does anyone else have any PR Disasters to share, either here or abroad?

It is sad to know that Kerry Katona has fallen victim to the drug and alcohol addiction again. But there is still hope for her because she is still young. The best advice for her is to undergo rehabilitation to help her forget the past and move on.
