Ever said anything you later regretted? Ever done something a bit silly, in the heat of the moment, when you were 22?
Everyone has, of course. But when I was 22, no-one was actually listening to me. In part that is because the technology to easily and cheaply broadcast my stupidity around the world did not exist. In part it is because I am neither an athlete nor an entertainer – to name two professions where people often obtain fame and notoriety at a very early age. In PR terms, no celebrity is ever off-duty these days.
Stephanie Rice – an Olympic swimming champion – has learnt this lesson, and at a considerable cost.
