Alex Mullen - Creep And Hypocrite

You may not have heard of Alex Mullen. But he has been, albeit briefly, in the news this week, because of the impending release of Prince Harry’s book. What’s the connection? Ah well. Mullen was Caroline Flack’s agent, and the late Love Island presenter dated Haz briefly, before our free and fearless press got wind of it and effectively ended their relationship.

Mullen has also passed severely adverse comment on Haz’ book mentioning that relationship, kicking off in no style at all to anyone who would stop by and read his Instagram posts. He wants Haz to be stripped of his titles. If only anyone who really matters were bothered. Worse, Mullen is hardly a disinterested party, and nor does he appear an especially reliable witness.

Alex who?

What’s his beef? Mullen, oddly for a PR, has taken his Twitter feed private, but Zelo Street has the details. This is the one that sums up his case: “Gross for Prince Harry to reveal such private details about Caroline Flack. The way the press spoke about her at that time & the reason they split are both very sad & it’s gross he’s using her name to help sell his book. The Royal Family need to strip him of all titles NOW”. And there was more.

Caroline Flack

“Ugh. Prince Harry talks about unconscious bias. Reeks of critical race theory and 21st Century Marxism. As furious as I am with him over Caroline Flack, he’s being indoctrinated by his abuser Meghan Markle. I dread the inevitable divorce”. There speaks someone who does not know about Marxism, or, indeed, critical race theory. But is he an otherwise reliable witness?

How about this one? “Our very own, unelected billionaire Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fits into the pockets of his WEF masters’ pockets. Unfortunately the leader of Sunak’s opposition Keir Starmer is as sinister. Changes bordering on revolution are required if democracy & freedom are to stand a chance”.

He has Retweeted an item posted by The Freds telling “The Path to Defeating The WEF: How We Plan to Fight and Win”, accompanied by a photo depicting Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates and George Soros and showing the conspiracist dog whistle “The Great Reset”. Yes, well. How about politics?

It doesn’t get any more credible here. Last year he told his followers “Let’s hope to God Boris isn’t ousted. It’ll be another disaster as with Thatcher’s removal and the next election will be a nightmare. The public still warm to him. We all broke the rules! Let’s move on and get the economy moving and taxes down. Labour will make the majority poor”. Think that shows a lack of self-awareness and detachment from reality? It gets worse.

“Yes, it’s insane. The country voted for the Conservatives lead [sic] by Boris Johnson. Only they should have the power to remove him if they wish. Which I doubt they will because the alternative is terrifying”. And then … “The only option is [Liz Truss], from a poor selection. Every other candidate is either inexperienced, woke, corrupt or slimy. I have to support [Liz Truss]”.

None of this finds its way into (for instance) the Mail’s report of Mullen’s mardy strop. Nor has anyone within our free and fearless press tested his reaction for consistency: much of the detail to which he so seriously objects appeared in the Murdoch Sun when Ms Flack had the Bizarre column given over to her in 2017. Did he complain? Did he stuff. He Tweeted it out!

“[Caroline Flack] takes over [Dan Wootton]’s Bizarre today with exclusive [Love Island] gossip. Tune in Mon 5th June on [ITV2]”. It gets yet worse: what is in Haz’ book is no more than what Ms Flack herself wrote in her own memoir Storm In A C-Cup. Did Mullen object? But you know the answer.

As Richard Bartholomew put it, “Caroline Flack wrote about media intrusion in her own autobiography (‘Storm in a C-Cup’), including the ‘bit of rough’ framing. For tabloids to claim that Prince Harry has betrayed her memory by drawing on her own public recollections is both absurd and grotesque”. The “bit of rough” line was also in that Bizarre column Mullen didn’t object to.

Bartholomew also notes “Alex Mullen's company website has a blurb from Dan Wootton calling him ‘one of the best connected Showbiz PRs in the industry’. His dependency on people like Wootton for his livelihood may explain his intervention against Prince Harry on behalf of the tabloids”.

Close to Dan Wootton? Sure is. After Desperate Dan bagged an award, he simpered “AMAZING!! Many, many congratulations to you sir. You should think about taking up this reporter lark full time. You’ve got the knack”. There was also “Happy birthday to the delightful [Dan Wootton]”.

Brutus Moriartus, this man is a bit of a crawler

And where the deeply unpleasant Wootton stands on Haz’n’Megs we all know. Richard Bartholomew has it spot on: Mullen is merely being not just a useful idiot, but an obvious and sickening creep. Also, a little examination of his Twitter feed shows him to be a weapons grade hypocrite. Not that any of that gets past the press, which is interested only in recycling his claims.

Without doing anything resembling journalism. No change there, then.
