The PR Breakdown with Molly McPherson

TikTok's Pajama Drama and Entitlement: A PR and Psychology Breakdown


Listen Later

Molly breaks down the TikTok drama everyone is consumed with at the moment - two creators and their pajamas. Cecily and Samantha Bachman, whose launch of $98 holiday pajamas sparked intense public criticism and led to a problematic apology that only fueled further backlash.

Joining Molly is renowned relationship expert Dr. Abby Medcalf, who illuminates the fascinating connection between entitled behavior and ineffective communication. Together, they explore why people—from social media influencers to everyday individuals—often resort to defensive responses and excessive justifications when faced with criticism, and what this reveals about our modern social dynamics.
