Thank you for posting.
I am glad that the rumor is not true. I find it disgusting that some fans are bashing this woman. I think Ms. Bain is a good person and a professional. I like professionals working for MJ. Stuart Backerman, imo, was not a professional. He let fans all around MJ and throwing parties at NL without MJ knowing. He also was "friends" with some of the fans. That is not normal for a publicist to do those things.
Fans like to focus on that party that did not happened back in November of 2006. MJ called the organizers of that party and apologized to them. I thought that was an excellent thing to do. Fans got mad at Raymone for not telling them if MJ was going to perform at the WMA or not. I was watching Extra around that time and MJ said that he was not performing. I did not understand why Ms. Bain was trashed for that. Fans like to forget that March of 2007, MJ went to Japan and the party that they had for him was nothing more than a success. Everything was done professionally and no compliants ever arose.
Ms.Bain also setup the great Vogue and Ebony photoshoots putting MJ back to the map. Those were excellent PR moves and her and MJ's part.
I know that many fans and supporters had issues with Raymone regarding MJ. However, this woman is trying to do what is best for her client. That is her job. She might not do what we do not like but we have to understand or realized that she does not work for us, she works for MJ. MJ tells her what to do. We do not do that. This woman does not have to respond to e-mails. I have sent her e-mails (not silly ones) and she never responded to one. You do not see me huffing and puffing about it. I do not even sweat it.
I think the main reason some fans cannot stand her and want her gone is because their easy access to MJ was violated and nonexistant. Some fans cannot stand that. The way I see it, if Frank Dielo was in MJ's camp, he would let all sorts of fans around MJ and would not know how to control it. I also believe the stem of the nasty reports about Ms. Bain that were on the RF articles were coming from certain people that could not get their access to MJ because Raymone was supposedly not letting MJ know about them. Maybe MJ told her to do that. Maybe that is where this rumor about her "departure" stemmed from. Sometimes, instead of reacting so quick to things, think before you react.
