Are you really going to make me do this?

I'm Angela Duckworth.

I'm Mike Mann and you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, how do you restore your image after a scandal?

I messed up. I know what I did was wrong.

Moving forward, you can hold me to a higher standard. Angela, we have an amazing question today about scandal.

Scandal.

Dun, like the TV show.

Not the show.

Okay.

I know you maybe you got very excited about Carrie Washington.

I did.

Over the last few years, so many celebrities, leaders, politicians, and public

figures have been cancelled for a range of things from ignorant and

thoughtless to egregious and appalling behavior. Some of these people have been able to recover the reputation completely,

while others appear to have had their image irreparably and permanently damaged.

Why does society forgive or forget some of these behaviors

but not others and is there a particular formula for successful recovery from a scandal?

Best anonymous. I love this question. Here's my take. They're anonymous. So maybe this is like hey guys. Oh is this like I have a friend who got cancelled? Any advice for my friend?

Asking for a quote, friend. Okay, so one, I will just say that the data is clear on this.
