I’m not defending Kelly as I don’t follow her social media and don’t know her opinions, except for the link about working out outside. But this is interesting. I don’t think it’s that hard to have an impersonal business presence, but that isn’t really what some people want, either.
Some people seem to really like a small business, specifically a fitness instructor, to be interactive with customers and fans on social media. Sometimes they are criticized when they don’t. But they are only supposed to be real to a point. Share things that show personality and something about their life, but not authenticity. Not anything remotely religious, even though for a religious person, that is often the most important part of who they are. I think most everyone has religious beliefs that sometimes show through, even if they don’t identify with any religion. And others are happy for authentic opinions to be expressed, as long as they personally agree with the sentiment or as long as it’s the majority opinion. And better not have a personal page at all, because customers might find it and see something they don’t like. It must be a hard line for a public figure to walk. Maybe some just don’t care to try, or give up. |

Yes. I’m trying to figure out what bothers me and what doesn’t in what public figures allow to show through.
There are some that bother me that I know I disagree with, and some I don’t. Maybe it has more to do with the product, but there are situations where it matters what the particular issue is. Some people want businesses to be more open about these things, so that they can choose to support or not support them based on where they stand. |

I count 8 or 9 of us on this thread who will not purchase due to the mix of personal with professional on Kelly’s social media. My point, too. It’s simply unprofessional and indicates a level of immaturity.

Maybe start a thread to discuss that then. This is a thread about KCM filming new workouts which surprised me with the current virus situation. I was curious what her new workouts would be. I was surprised to find it is more about how several people didn’t like her political views and less about what she is filming. I would assume whatever she said was contrary to those people’s views thus upsetting them. I agree that whatever she said was not professional. I’m not on social media so I don’t know what she said and don’t care to find out. I think many of us have had negative interactions with or negative reactions to things instructors have done over the years. I just don’t see what comes from going on and on about it. It can’t be undone. She said it. She shouldn’t have. If a person doesn’t like her workouts because of it, that’s completely fine. There’s plenty more workouts and instructors out there to workout with. The news is so negative lately VF is kind of a safe haven for me and I find it frustrating that this stuff has to invade the conversation here. It seems it would be better served in private conversation or on a social media site instead is all I was trying to say. I guess I’ll just have to be morE careful what threads I open up.
