What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHalle Berry is reacting to what the Daily Mail-style coverage calls weird photo evidence from her ex, in the middle of a custody battle.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCornelius Vandermeet is a crisis publicist, joining us from a yacht.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCornelius, thanks for being here. Photos from an ex are being used in a custody fight. How does anyone spin that?

  4. Cornelius VandermeetHank, let me reframe that. These aren't photos, they're a visual launch. Everyone is talking, and talking is the whole business.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a custody dispute, though. There are children involved, and a court.

  6. Cornelius VandermeetLet me reframe that. It's a season finale with a built-in audience. I'd love to represent whoever shows up in season two.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeason two.

  8. Cornelius VandermeetPrestige drama, Hank. I'm holding one bell for each client who wins. That's the bell. I rang it. You heard it.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Is the evidence weird or not? Her side has reacted, so what does she do?

  10. Cornelius VandermeetLet me reframe that. The evidence is a conversation starter, and her reaction is a comeback arc. I'd put her in a spinoff by Friday.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour own client list is public. How many of your clients actually won a custody fight?

  12. Cornelius VandermeetLet me reframe that. Zero clients means I'm starting completely fresh, which is basically a brand-new first act. I rang the bell.

  13. Cornelius VandermeetI know I rang it.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorZero wins. Cornelius, what would you call your career?

  15. Cornelius VandermeetA comeback, Hank. Although I've never technically had a first act to come back from.
