He most recently repped embattled talk show host Wendy Williams, but over the years his clients had also included Monica\u00a0Lewinsky and Chaz Bono.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Bragman also was known for helping closeted celebrities reveal their sexuality at a time when being \u201couted\u201d could destroy a career. Among those whom he assisted in revealing their truth was Meredith Baxter, the <em>Family Ties<\/em> star, who gave an interview after fearing tabloids were about to reveal photos of her and her partner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He was notably called upon to help then-University of Missouri defensive player and top NFL Draft prospect Michael Sam with his decision to come out publicly ahead of the 2014 draft. Bragman would coordinate the historic announcement with major outlets including <em>The New York Times<\/em>, ESPN and <em>OutSports<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Bragman\u2019s extensive experience in crisis situations became so known he became a celebrity himself, often called upon in the media, including <em>THR<\/em>, to offer his expertise about celebrities caught in the crossfire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He was one of the founders of the PR firm Bragman Nyman Cafarelli, which was acquired by Weber Shandwick Worldwide in 2001, merging it with PMK to become PMK-BNC. He went on to launch the PR firm Fifteen Minutes and later started La Brea Media. In 2011, he became vice chairman of Reputation.com.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
