Why a smear campaign makes no sense.

I know people are probably tired of hearing about it. But can we talk about how creating a smear campaign makes no sense?

First off, the rumors that were being spread *also* included Blake feeling uncomfortable with Justin. People were also mad that Justin didn't speak up for her. It wasn't just Blake that was catching heat in the media. Why on earth would a crisis PR team throw him under the bus as well? Their job is to bury those kind of accusations, not feed them to the media. Considering Justin's entire brand is about advocating for women, this would kill his career rather quickly.

Second, hiring bots to bash your lead actress' performance and marketing skills would hurt the movie's reviews. If people see a flood of bad reviews, they're not going to watch it. Less viewers, less money.

Overall, this entire thing would be self sabotage. I highly doubt his PR team would take this level of risk out of retaliation for her *unofficial* sexual harassment complaint. It just makes no sense.
