Reputation & Crisis

There's a very public scandal at the company where I work. I had nothing to do with the wrongdoing—it was all senior leadership—but I'm being dragged through the mud on social media because I appeared in a company promotional video last year. People are tagging me in angry posts. A local news outlet contacted me for comment. My LinkedIn is being flooded with accusations. I've had to make my Instagram private because strangers were harassing my family. I want to defend myself publicly, but my lawyer says anything I say could be used against me if there are lawsuits. I feel like staying silent makes me look guilty, but speaking up could make things worse.
