to me, Jami Kandel, Lindsay Porter, Thorsten Meyer, Andy Elkin

My team and I have been keeping up with this since yesterday, but thought it was time to loop the rest of you in, as well. You may be aware that a twitter user posted late Sunday morning about having coffee at the same shop that Carisa and Thorsten happened to be in. They described the run in they witnessed as "excrutiatingly awkward and painful" and went on through numerous tweets to detail that Thorsten seemed to be trying to catch her full attention and Carisa was cold and uninterested, even rebuffing his attempt to kiss her before walking out. I won't recap them all, but they did not necessarily paint either of you in a good light, though that is easy enough to rewrite however we need. If they were going to just blow over, they would have lost traction by now, but there's been pick up across social media and I've had at least one gossip blogger reach out for comment.

I've spoken to Carisa at length about the options on how to handle this moving forward, but she is insistent that the decision lie with Andy and Thorsten. I've advised what I felt is best, that we simply release a story or set of pictures on instagram that suggest Carisa was somewhere else at the time in question and let social media do the rest of the work. The original poster included a picture, but in truth it could be nearly any blonde and another option is all that would be needed to place doubt on the story.

Unless the objective to keep any information about your relationship entirely underwraps has changed, I believe that is our best course of action. If it has, it would be even more simple to have Carisa make light of the situation with photographers at her next fashion show appearance. Andy, you have my number. Please feel free to reach out to me directly after you've discussed how you would like to proceed.
