On the other hand, i dont live in the U.S.A so please explain me if it would really be that bad if this was just a promotional move? Will Entertaiment Weekly really sue the show if they lied about the dead of a character? Some say it would damage their reputation but well, they are just reporting what they were told, they couldn't now it was a trick .It just seems to me a little exagerated so, is really that bad doing something like this? So, EW has a reputation as one of the best, most reliable entertainment news sources in this country. And, yes, if Crystal Reed lied and isn't leaving the show it wouldn't be EW's fault, the fact that EW didn't find that out would probably damage that reputation. People aren't rational enough to think "Well this isn't EW's doing!" It would almost certainly hurt their sales, at least a little, and as soon as you can put a monetary value on damages to a person or business's reputation, you have a viable lawsuit.
