April 19th episode of Dr.
Phil McGraw's "Dr. Phil Primetime" show.
FORT
WORTH, Texas, April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Red Banyan PR Founder and
CEO Evan Nierman was featured as an
expert on Dr. Phil McGraw's newest
episode of "Dr. Phil Primetime." The
April 19 segment discussed cancel
culture and its ramifications on innocent lives.
"The professionalism of McGraw's entire
team at Merit Street Media was unparalleled," Evan Nierman said. "Their thoroughness and
dedication to facilitating meaningful discussions with guests
underscores the commitment to excellence that has made McGraw a
beloved American icon."
Nierman, a crisis PR expert, joined Red Banyan client
Lisa Alexander, founder and CEO of
LaFace Skincare. Alexander faced significant public backlash in
2020 after a man released a video that went viral.
Dr. Phil's episode, titled "Record, Post, Shamed: Are You Safe
in Public" examined the risks facing ordinary Americans of being
videotaped without their permission and attacked via social
media.
Using Alexander's personal story as an example, McGraw also
delved into the nuances of cancel culture and its devastating
real-world impacts on people's lives. He expressed empathy towards
Alexander and emphasized the need for our society to be more
forgiving and not to rush to judgment of our fellow Americans.
"Dr. Phil brilliantly highlighted Alexander's case as an example
of why we need to differentiate between holding people accountable
and the detrimental effects of cancel culture," said Nierman. "In a
world where online discourse can quickly turn destructive, Dr.
Phil's empathetic approach offers a beacon of hope for those caught
in the crossfire of negativity and divisiveness. His suggestion
that we practice 'counsel culture' in place of 'cancel culture' is
spot-on."
This was Alexander's first time telling her side of the story on
national television—detailing how her life was upended by this
incident and the subsequent targeting from anonymous individuals
online. Alexander's story was first recounted in Nierman's book,
"The Cancel Culture Curse."
"People like Lisa who have been relentlessly bullied and
targeted online should be allowed to move forward with their
lives," said Nierman. "We've reached a toxic breaking point in our
culture when we normalize bullies masquerading as activists who
intentionally set out to destroy other people's lives in the name
of 'social justice.'"
"Exceptional," is how Nierman described the experience of
appearing on Dr. Phil Primetime.
"The professionalism of McGraw's entire team at Merit Street
Media was unparalleled and unlike anything I've seen, and I've been
in studios across the country," Nierman said. "Their thoroughness
and dedication to facilitating meaningful discussions with guests
underscores the commitment to excellence that has made McGraw a
beloved American icon."
