Rudy Giuliani’s PR guru Christianné Allen has finally had enough and has stepped down from her post at Giuliani Communications.
The 22-year-old signed up for Team Rudy in August 2019 with the mission of updating the image of the former New York mayor and Donald Trump’s personal attorney.
She is exiting for a tech start-up operation, according to a report in The Daily Beast.
“As I reflect, I am proud of the accomplishments we achieved. One of which was building Rudy Giuliani’s Common Sense podcast from conception to one of the top political podcasts in the country in under a year,” she said in a statement. “Looking forward, I once again feel blessed to have the opportunity for continued growth and development within a rising tech startup.”
Allen joined Rudy during the Ukraine meddling fiasco and advised him during Trump’s impeachment, Hunter Biden mess, Four Seasons Landscaping press conference disaster, and losing his license to practice law. Giuliani is battling a billion-dollar defamation suit for his role in spreading lies about the "stolen election."
Rudy’s most recent PR disaster occurred Aug. 20 when he was videoed at the Delta lounge at JFK Airport shaving while chowing down lobster bisque.
Allen said Todd Shapiro, a former spokesperson for Lindsay Lohan’s family, is Rudy’s new spokesperson.
