Some of the highest earners in this country are CEOs of Charities....its not new that people make money off the back of charities

Caitlyn Jenner doesn’t surprise me at all, but I am glad Harry Redknapp has been called out. I never thought he was down-to-earth as he was depicted to be.

tbf I dont really see the problem, if i was famous and someone offered me money to promote some charity I would too

[smudgie]

Hardly a flipping scandal.
Someone gets paid for doing a job.
Their promo could well make more money for a charity than it costs to pay them.
Not forgetting of course that they were approached by the so called charity.

I think it's more so because he insisted on getting paid Ł15,000 for one Instagram post. Just totally unnecessary.

I expect he is fed up with lazy People trying to coattail his success

[Shaun]

It's honestly laughable how tories on here will defend doing anything for money

[bots]

it's not even charity specific. The bottom line is that influencers will say anything about anything for money, truth and personal experience doesn't need to enter into the equation at all

What should be made clear is if they are receiving remuneration (in whatever form) from a company for providing the endorsement.

...it’ll be an interesting watch later but with the Harry Redknapp example..?..it wasn’t that he was endorsing anything, it was that he was endorsing nothing...the ‘charity’ didn’t exist...

all that was proving is that Arry will endorse anything if the price is right, it has no relation to the reality of what is being endorsed. Money received was the only factor in the equation

...ooops sorry, I didn’t read my own OP....Caitlin Jenner endorsed the same ‘charity’...it was set up for both of them...I’d be interested if that ‘scam’ was applied to multiple other celebrities and they were the only two to accept the fee without checking..?...or whether it was only ever directed at those two...

he could endorse the eradication of Rhino flatulence in Africa, it doesn't matter ... it may or may not be something he genuinely cares about, but if something is endorsed it should be stated that it is being endorsed for money

In America, they have never cared about such things. They have adverts where people in the audience are paid to whoop and clap and say wonderful things about something, that type of thing has never been permitted in the UK because it breaches advertising standards. This is basically advertising standards, and Arry is breaking the law (in the UK)

well I suppose he was endorsing the point of the charity which was to clear up plastic in Africa

[thesheriff443]

How many people donate to a charity because someone famous promotes it?

I don’t.

Harry Redknapp isn't as nice as people believe.

Is anyone?

Seriously.

Easy to put on your public face. But everyone has a bad side, it just depends how good you are at covering it up..

[Vicky.]

Meh, I mean, they probably should look into charities they are paid to promote. But in reality, they will be contacted by loads of these, and its probably easy to get lax and just take the cash and make the bloody post.

No story here for me really.

Except I find it a little **** that celebs need paid to make a POST that takes seconds, promoting a charity. If they cared about said charity aims, surely they could/should make the post for free..if its something you NEED paid for, you don't actually give a **** about the topic. Influencers and stuff will always be alien to me..too old now I think!
