Molly McPherson explains the compliment shield, a communication technique that protects against distorted interpretations. She shares how she sarcastically typed "so long, Pam Pundy" about Pam Bondi on Instagram, and within seconds the news broke that Bondi had been fired, showing how quickly praise can flip.
I don't care who says this to me. I don't care if it's a parent, a former spouse, whatever. When they say, um, you said, you said, because it's never what you said. It is a twisted version of what you said. Am I right, Chris? Chris? Yours is, but you, mine is you said. All right. Number 4 is the compliment shield. Now, when I was in Ireland a few weeks ago, I was standing in line. Forever to get into, uh, our car. So I'm on Instagram and I see the post. Uh, I think this was April 1st, cause I, I put it in the article, uh, that Trump was praising Pam Bondi. Chris, 1,000%, 1,000%, you're right. You know what I'm talking about, Chris. Um, was praising Pam Bondi. And what I remembered was Pam Bondi, Pam Bondi was a wonderful person. And as I was stating, in Ireland waiting for my car, I put down in my chat, so long, Pam Pundy. Like I knew she was gone. She was gone in 2 seconds. And I think before I even got in my car, she was fired. It was announced that she was fired.
