The PR person would say, "We won't comment on the CEO's personal life." If the PR person lies about the divorce, he/she won't be trusted the next time there is a material issue at Pfizer.

Huvane is representing actors and he is lying about their personal lives. There is no cyanide in the tylenol to lie about. Not one person's health, finances, or mental stability is going to be damaged because Huvane lied. It is a very different job than say, representing Pfizer. And US Weekly and In Touch have published some fabricated stories as well over the years, yet we continue to buy those magazines. I have to disagree.
