Having read the complete Daily Beast article, I am inclined to agree that the account may not be true or that many facts may have been changed to make the account more palatable.
When she says:
I waited three months before I felt ready to make a physical commitment to him. This was no different then (sic) any of my other relationships...
this stretches credibility in several directions.
But when she says:
... because of him I have had several internships at well-known PR companies
this also seems a stretch to me, though possibly it explains a lot.
I don't work in the public relations industry, but the whole basis of public relations, as I understand it, is trying to influence mass media to portray a client in a more favorable manner than merit alone would dictate--usually by offering sex, money, or some other kind of freebie to individuals with decision-making power. Hence the links between public relations and prostitution are intimate.
