In a recent exchange, Bove questioned Pecker about whether McDougal could be classified as a celebrity. Pecker's response indicated that, at the time, she did not meet the criteria to be considered a celebrity.
Further probing by Bove led to a discussion about the perceived value of McDougal's brand. As a former Playboy playmate and the first woman to grace the cover of a men's fitness magazine, the question of whether there was any tangible value to her brand was raised.
Pecker's response suggested that while there may not have been a significant value to her brand from a media company's perspective, there could have been personal value to McDougal herself.
This exchange sheds light on the complexities of celebrity status and brand value in the media industry. It highlights the subjective nature of these concepts and how they can vary depending on individual perspectives and contexts.
