Email accounts around Manhattan — including ours — are receiving this important message today. It's full of barely repressed rage, just-offstage drama, and allusions to hijinks so debauched they cannot be mentioned.

Sorry for the mass email however it is necessary that everyone be advised of the situation:

I am writing to inform you that Christiaan McPherson will no longer be working with my firm. Please understand that any of his work is in no way associated with Tamie Peters Public Relations, me, Merissa, Jason or Jessica personally. After several incidences, and serious consideration, we are unable to continue any working relationship with him.

We value our relationships with you and look forward to working together in the future.

Our sincerest apologies for any resulting inconveniences,

Tamie

We were scandalized, of course, and horribly curious. Until we realized one thing: Like us, none of the folks who forwarded us this mass message has any idea who these people are.

Good PR work, that.
