Either case won't bode well for her. Liz is THE preeminent publicist in the entertainment industry. It was a major coup for Stevie to land Liz as her publicist a half dozen years ago. Since that time Liz got Stevie on Soundstage, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, a FM themed Glee episode, a Stevie themed American Horror season... I could go on and on. Liz transformed Stevie's persona into that of a revered living legend. For the first time ever, Stevie is taken seriously by the industry, especially the music critics.

Shrugging off the loss of Liz is akin to those who say it doesn't matter who Stevie's producer is. Nobody will demand respect and fight for Stevie the way Liz has. Nobody else has that kind of clout. Especially with the way Stevie has been behaving towards FM lately, Liz's departure is going to be a stunning loss for Stevie. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stevie's star power slip because of it.
