Tip of The Week: Favre Gets Freaky

 
In case you live under a rock, former New York Jet's quarterback Brett Favre has been accused of sexually harassing former colleague, sideline hostess, Jenn Sterger. If you seriously don’t know what I am talking about there's this thing called ‘Google’ and I hear it’s pretty good.

Let me be frank, sexual harassment is not a joke. The way Streger’s PR team has allowed this story to be told is simply embarrassing, making a mockery of their client and all women who have suffered sexual harassment.

By refusing to comment, Sterger was most likely hoping to avoid the whispers of ‘attention whore’ that the media were sure to slur. Wakeup and read the papers Jenn they are saying it anyhow.

With little information about what actually occurred between Favre and Sterger, I wanted to take this opportunity to personally reach out to them both with a little Chloe advice.

Grow some balls. Favre, if you want to ask a girl out just walk up and ask her in person, don’t keep calling and leaving messages. Sterger, if a man keeps calling, try answering your phone and tell him you are totally flattered but you have a rule about dating people in your working environment.

Take a fucking hint. Favre, if she doesn’t answer after the third message it means not interested (read: this does not mean send her naked pictures of your penis). Sterger, after voice mail  number three you may have noticed his level of determination. When the phone rings, answer it! By laying down the law one can prevent creepy penis photos!

Hire the best PR Team. Favre, get someone on your side to maximize all front page opportunities coming your way; it will probably be the last time you get this much press. Sterger, strategy is everything when it comes to a situation like this. Decide your angle and get the best in the business on your side. 

Sterger’s current PR team does not appear to have a clue what their angle is. Are they trying to promote women’s rights? Are they seeking retribution for Sterger by making Favre look bad? Are they hoping to inspire women to stand up to sexual harassment? (I sure hope it’s not the latter, as so far the media isn’t painting the most flattering picture of the victim).

If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, be straightforward about it. If they persist, take action. Simple. The only person that can stand up for you is you.
