Response to PR anon (non wine):
As I clarified in another post, I'm not claiming to be a PR pro. I'm just a BTON fan, and not a die-hard nor part of the fandom; I consider myself GA. And so, I was pointing out to my blog brethren that the purported PR anons 1- can say they have PR experience but there's no way to prove that (@allsortsofthingsmpov clarified it's not her job to vet them, which is fair), 2- personal opinions are included in these "professional opinions" which you're admitting to be true. Cool, we're on the same page, and 3- credibility often gets lost when personal opinions seep into fair analysis.
As for me being "blinkered" that Luke is with Ant, lol... that is far from accurate. If you scroll through @allsortsofthingsmpov's blog, I've stated clearly and with much thought my opinion on why I believe the pap walk was problematic for alot of fans (and me in particular) and it's certainly not because we wanted him with a specific person or frankly even cared about his personal life. Most of us watched because we're fans of BTON to varying degrees and were eager to see press for the long anticipated S3 & Polin.
Most do NOT expect even close to a Tom Cruise moment in regards to Luke's current gf situation. Rather, most expect something akin to what a reasonable person would do in terms of affection or enjoying the company of another... or even what other BTON leads have done. It's easy to see Luke is objectively NOT doing that, so perhaps in assessing this, your scope has been limited, your personal experience as a reference is unusual, or he's being uncharacteristically private.
The actions, or lack thereof, are enough to seriously doubt Luke's intent to launch a gf via the pap walk. One can even set aside involvement by his PR team, and there are still 3rd, 4th & 5th options for the how & why, which one may not be keen to explore if biased against Luke. On a side note, I didn't say such bias includes hate or dislike, just prejudice toward a certain outcome, which I also stated may be human nature in this situation. But, it also may be due to not having all the info. on said subject...
Which brings me to Jade. There have been copious comparisons over the years to Luke's rel. with her versus his rel. with Nic - including direct comparison pics just a few days before Luke removed his likes from Jade's IG. It's widely speculated, even in the GA, that Luke & Nic may have had real feelings during S3 filming (when Luke was still with Jade) which certainly could put a Scarlet Letter on Nic's back.
Similarly, Nic's behavior on the press tour was coined disrespectful if there was a serious gf - as was Luke's. With that, it tracks why Luke would be eager to protect his co-star, who is integral to his role on BTON, if only to also protect a job that is his bread & butter. Someone with whom he's had a shorter association and has no bearing on his livelihood - even if he is with her "all the way" now- is less significant. So, let's just say you have your lay person opinion on that - and I have mine. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
