It has been a rough week for 24 year-old PR girl Mallory Montilla. After being arrested this past Friday, she became blogofodder today as the “budding socialite” who has been accused of coping 100k in jewelry. The NYPost ran the hack job piece today, and naturally it has begun to spread. But Jessica Pressler over at NYMag has called bullshit. And we’re tending to lean this way too, mainly because the date Whisper PR said they terminated Montilla on a Saturday.
“We felt that she wasn’t performing up to our standards around July 18,” Klein said. “After the termination, we noticed some inconsistencies in her reports, and we went straight to the police.”
Ok, so Whisper PR co-founder Karly Klein said “around” but why then do you proffer up an exact date? If Whisper operates like most PR related companies in NYC, summer Fridays are a wash, making her “around” land on a dead Friday or a Sunday. Hmmm… Perhaps “mid July” would have been more appropriate, especially when speaking to the New York Post about a supposed $100,000 theft. But let’s not worry about all those fine details!
The excessive name planting of Whisper PR and Leslie Greene (which Pressler over at NYMag points out) is another possible giveaway, as well as the supposed ease of the theft. There was no real secret here, Montilla was in charge of transporting and keeping the jewelry. She parted ways with the company, and had yet to return the jewelry items. A complaint was filed on the 23rd of July, and for whatever reason was not resolved leading to an arrest on the 28th of August. Something tells us that Montilla certainly didn’t think she would be able to pull a fast one on Whisper.
Lastly, are we to really believe that it was 100k in jewelry? It sounds good, and makes Whisper look like a big bustling firm with tons of clients and revenue, etc. but then why don’t they list any on their website? Let’s see if there are more details that emerge that shed a little more light on this otherwise one-sided story.

if someone says around july 18, how the hell does that make it sound unreliable, they are estimating a time of the month not giving you an exact date.
@trout: If you are going to throw an actual date but simultaneously equivocate, and you have filed police reports, etc. would it be too hard to pinpoint/know the actual date that you fired someone? Unless Klein herself is unclear about the exact timing, in which case this brings about questions as to why the lack of clarity…?

my name is not @trout, get out of your blind vain twitter world thanks
@trout: Sorry If you can’t handle the most basic and universal way to distinguish a reply. You are quite right, your name is “trout”. The @ sign demarcates a reply, but then again you know that even though you claim it to be used by someone who is “blind and vain”!
As they say, it takes one to know one…

it’s jessica pressler, not jessica coen. and it’s karly klein, not kelly klein.
if *you* can’t get a single name right here, should you really be picking apart a PR firm for not getting a date right? go back to posting party pictures, pls.
@nat: good catch! Must be the end of summer blues…names have been changed.
