Hollywood, California, 17th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, California and Colorado businesswoman Dr. Marie Lemelle has reached a defining moment in her career in an ongoing battle to reshape her narrative.
Dr. Marie Yvonne Lemelle, 66, who claims to be a Goodwill Ambassador, has come under fire for what some may consider scornful abuse in insulting and trying to degrade her former client, a Hall of Fame celebrity multi-hyphenate artist.
The Tinseltown publicist and playwright, also known as Marie Yvonne Lemelle, MBA, has posted information candidly blasting her former celebrity client in an unfiltered way.
Lemelle sits at the helm of Pitbull PR Agency, Inc., and Platinum Star Public Relations—both incorporated in Denver, Colorado, but operating primarily out of Glendale, California. Lemelle is also associated with Platinum Star Media Group, Inc., and Angel City Salute Alliance, Inc., a company with Colorado jurisdiction. It is unclear if Lemelle, who has resided in a Glendale condo for 16 years, has ever lived in Colorado.
The celebrity client says Marie Lemelle told her she would produce a show for her to pitch to producers and executives in Hollywood. The celebrity says Lemelle claimed to have industry connections and access to producers willing to consider the show for network distribution. The celebrity client said Marie Lemelle led her to believe that she had already gotten the green light from production.
According to the celebrity, who said she has known Lemelle since 2012, Lemelle used her to interview her other clients, such as Judge Craig Strong, Robert Ri’chard, Gloria “Footnanny” Williams, Jacquil Constant, founder of the Haiti International Film Festival, and Trae Ireland, a producer who has been linked to Sony Screen Gems.
The celebrity says Marie Lemelle asked her to prepare interview questions for her client LPGA pro Avis Brown Riley, former YWCA Glendale and Pasadena director Tara Peterson, complete biographies for various C-Suite executives, and that the talent manager asked the celebrity to use her social media to promote Ernest Thomas, Terry Hunt’s radio show, and movie premiere publicity collateral.
In the celebrity confession, the former Platinum Star Media Group, Inc. client said she paid Marie Lemelle $4,500 to produce the Powerhouse Series television show over a 3-month period, and in the end, the celebrity received only one press release from Platinum Star.
Lemelle could not be reached for comments. The DreamChild Foundation, where Lemelle has informed she serves as a Goodwill Ambassador, could not be immediately reached for a response.
