Amber Rose’s Publicist Denies Releasing Statement
Just a few days ago, we reported that Amber Rose‘s ex-publicist, Janero Marchand, had revealed some private (hopefully false) details about Amber’s past relationship with rapper Kanye West. Janero claims that 28-year-old Amber “Rose” Levonchuck stole money from him, as well as Kanye. Janero went on to announce that he would be revealing even more details in his tell-all book about Amber, which is scheduled for release in February.
Fast forward to one day later, and the media has been buzzing with a story about Amber’s new publicist, James Campbell (pictured with Amber above). Several media outlets reported that Campbell released a statement in Amber’s defense against Janero. The sites claimed that Campbell wrote the following statement,
“My name is James Campbell, Amber Rose’s current PR person. I would like to address the controversy regarding Amber and Janero Marchand. First off, I’d like to clarify that Mr. Marchand has never worked with Amber as far her public relations. Anyone with intelligence can obviously see that this man is using her as a target to market himself and leverage his name in the industry, which he obviously failed. Being a publicist for over 10 years, I have never heard of this maniac’s name or his silly company.
Amber, her manager, Antonio, and I are entirely disgusted by this demented fool. It is an utter shock that this guy took the time out of his day to fabricate an email (supposedly sent by Amber) and a ridiculous story, and send it to blogs in hopes of it being a topic without any sort of apprehension of how this might effect her. I hope that his current clients on his roster (which i know is not much) realize how dangerous this phony is and quickly find someone else who is more qualified and help them become a topic.”
Seems like a real statement, right? According to both Amber and Campbell, the statement is false. Both she and Campbell jumped on twitter, shortly afterward, to deny ever releasing such a statement.
As a result, most of the media sites that posted the false statement quickly removed the story. Nonethless, Janero’s book is still supposedly coming out soon. I’m sure some drama will unfold around that time. Updated: Thursday afternoon, I spoke with Amber’s real publicist, James Campbell, via phone, about this story. Campbell did communicate that he absolutely did NOT release a statement and that someone is impersonating him and has created a fake email account. Yikes.
