    The Rest Is...The Bezos Wedding - Why Were You There?!

    Jeff Bezos' Wedding: PR Nightmare or Power Move? This week, Jacki and Lyle unpack the lavish (and wildly controversial) wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez — and the brutal PR backlash that followed. From Venetian protests and missing A-listers (where was Eva Longoria?) to social media outrage over celeb guests like Leonardo DiCaprio and Sydney Sweeney — it’s safe to say the optics were not great. 👀 Even Charlize Theron joined the critics, and Jacki’s not shy in calling out the climate hypocrisy of hosting such an extravagant event in Venice — especially from someone funding environmental causes. 🌍✈️ Meanwhile, Lyle reflects on the pressure of those invites: hard to decline, but maybe some should have. Plus, why Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg have landed themselves a spot on Lyle’s “Entrepreneurial Mount Rushmore”… for all the wrong reasons. 😅 🔊 Tune in for sharp insight, honest takes, and a dose of PR real talk. 💥 Follow The Rest Is PR for weekly episodes that break down the biggest media, celeb, and branding stories from a PR perspective. #TheRestIsPR #JeffBezos #LaurenSanchez #BezosWedding #PRFail #CharlizeTheron #CelebrityBranding #LeonardoDiCaprio #SydneySweeney #PopCulturePodcast #PRPodcast #JackiAndLyle #MediaAnalysis #BrandStrategy #ElonMusk #MarkZuckerberg #ApplePodcasts #SpotifyPodcasts #AmazonMusic Hosted on Acast.

    The Rest Is...Lawsuit Dismissed! What Next In The Lively vs. Baldoni Saga?

    🎙️ $400M Lawsuit Thrown Out: Blake Lively’s Legal Win or PR Headache? This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle unpack the latest twist in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni saga — and it’s not as clear-cut as the headlines suggest. 🧾 Judge Lewis J. Liman has officially dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and PR firm Vision.

Jacki and Lyle dive into: What this dismissal actually means for all parties involvedWhy this could still be a PR nightmare for Blake LivelyThe blurred lines between legal wins and public perceptionThe importance of reporting facts without spinAnd whether there’s more to this story that’s yet to come... 🎧 Listen now for a smart, no-nonsense breakdown of one of the biggest celebrity legal battles of the year — and what it tells us about power, PR, and public opinion in 2025. 💬 Follow, rate, and share if you’re tired of media headlines skipping the details.
