This episode isn’t about “mom drama.” It’s about how influence is built, protected, or destroyed in real time.I break down the growing drama around Ashley Tisdale’s toxic mommy group and why the group’s PR response is a masterclass in what not to do.Then I contrast it with Mel Robbins, whose brand continues to stay remarkably insulated from criticism — even amid controversy — thanks to disciplined narrative control, audience conditioning, and strategic credibility stacking.This isn't just pop culture tea but a branding psychology + PR strategy breakdown for anyone building a public-facing brand in 2026 and beyond.🎉 Please like, share, comment, & "HYPE" videos that give you the option!

This episode is a case study in what not to do when your ego gets louder than your strategy.Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire’s decision to revive Candace Owens’ old podcast—purely to mock her and score petty points—isn’t just messy. It’s reckless, personal, and deeply unserious.What looks like a high-school-level power play is actually a long-term brand and credibility problem—and one that’s going to age badly... and fast.In this episode of Ashley Investigates, I break down why publicly antagonizing Candace Owens is a catastrophic PR misfire, how this move exposes insecurity rather than strength, and why attempting to humiliate a former asset is one of the fastest ways to torch trust, loyalty, and audience goodwill.This is about power, narrative control, and what happens when influence turns petty & implodes in your face.If you care about media manipulation, brand warfare, and how not to implode your own ecosystem—this one matters.🎉 Please like, share, comment, & "HYPE" videos that give you the option!
