• Good for Jen Allen! She is a class act and super great at her job. Simon is a moron and no one at PMK ever liked working with him. I am sure Pat Kingsley is dying right about now to see the agency she built just crumble but they did it to themselves with lousy management by Halls.

• Jennifer Allen is a PARTNER and been at PMK for 20 years. She represents Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jodie Foster and Pierce Brosnan among several others. Melissa Kates has an amazing client list as well.

• I have worked with both Jen and Melissa for the last 10 years off and on and think they are both great examples of how to do it right. Yea they both have the cold *no* down pat but they are very smart about their various clients and how they want to guide them. No one feels second tier with them!

• Jennifer Allen deserves a ton of success with her new venture. Along with a small handful of others, she is a true class act and there are many personal publicists who should take a lesson from her – a legend in the making.

• Had Pat Kingsley not been so jealous and fearful of Leslee Dart and had given her the top job she was entitled to this would not have happened. Simon Halls schemed his way to the top of what is now, thanks to him, a collapsed pile.
