Social Media Scandal

Social media scandals happen all the time. Many people and organizations do not understand the responsibility that comes along with being in the public eye. While Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are effective outlets for communicating with fans and consumers, they can also have severe consequences if not used properly. This week, yet another social media scandal has surfaced regarding the current Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis. Several weeks ago he was heavily scrutinized for making public anti-gay remarks. But while you may have thought he learned his lesson, he evidently did not. The newest accusation about the Bachelor, and father to his young daughter Camila, is that he sent an inappropriate naked picture to his final rose-winner. This seemed to be a poor decision on Juan Pablo's part, as this mystery woman has apparently been sharing these very personal pictures. 

If I were him, I obviously would have been more careful about sending such scandalous pictures in the first place, After all, he is a father, and is clearly in the public eye now more than ever. However, everyone makes mistakes, and this is clearly something that he will have to address in the future. There is no point in denying the pictures because it is evident that they are of him. In acknowledging this scandal, I would advise Juan Pablo to make a very public apology for his inappropriate behavior, assuring his fans that these photos were meant to be private, and not an accurate representation of the type of person he is or the image he wants to represent.
