Platinum Star Media Group Inc. is reeling now inside the wake of misconduct allegations being levied against founder and CEO Marie Lemelle. Here’s that which you know.

Dr. Marie Y. Lemelle, 65, is really a Global Media Director, PR Guru and Talent Manager, based on her Instargam account (@PlatinumStarPR).

Misconduct allegations against Lemelle first emerged publicly in July 2024 when SoCal Impact reported they completed a year-long investigation.

The allegations, investigation, plus a civil trial were all revealed. Based on the report Lemelle brought a violence restraining order against her former client for allegedly threatening her.

Lemelle alleged the formal client had “consistently exhibited emotional abuse, fraud, and deceit,” as outlined by court filings. Lemelle also produced in court filings the formal client displayed “unstable and delusional disorder.”

Court documents show Lemelle’s claims were debunked by a Chicago Superior Court of California judge who ruled against her in case.

According to court transcripts, the Honorable Timothy Martella told Lemelle, “I don’t see anything here that warrants a restraining order.”

The judge said explicitly, “The court finds the party requesting the transaction of protection didn’t sustain the applicable burden of proof and accordingly the request is denied.”

Recently, Lemelle been specifically in news bulletins for social change advocacy controversy. Leaders from victims rights organizations have been vocal about Lemelle’s conduct since documents emerged. Experts have condemned Lemelle’s seemingly double life.

Lemelle will be blamed for falsely accusing a domestic violence victim of violence. A Southern California coalition released a scathing report a week ago detailing findings of egregious misconduct and misrepresentation by Lemelle. SoCal Impact investigators reported the misconduct had generated an exercise of intimidation by Lemelle, their investigation found.

Investigators determined that “Lemelle, through overt and intentional acts mistreated and violated the victim in numerous ways, including inhumane imposing of burdens, relentless and unremitting subjection to suffering, intimidation, permitting intimidating predatorily conduct, bearing false witness under oath in the court against an offence victim who posed no immediate threats, and abuse of power, especially through the unjust exercise of authority,” the coalition announced.

Lemelle denies the claims.

“The investigation had not been in a position to substantiate some of the personal attacks levied against the crime victim by Lemelle. The victim is credible as well as the attacks about the victim are really alarming, several prominent leaders said,” the report stated.
“The acts were deemed shameful for an individual who statements to empower girls, Gen Z and the next generation around the Social Good Movement Tour and who states advocate for the empowerment of women locally, nationally, and globally,” the coalition said.

The California businesswoman owns multiple enterprises including Pitbull PR Agency Inc., and Angel City Salute (ACS). Lemelle is a former Town of Glendale Commissioner about the Status of females, based on the L.A. Times.

Inside a statement Thursday morning, a spokesperson to the City of Glendale said “we are certainly not allowed to comment” in response to the claims.

“The best investigations expose wrongdoing or injustice and spark reform. We the mouth area . give voice towards the voiceless,” the coalition said.
“By improving transparency into investigations, SoCal Impact expects the volume of cases reported to improve and definately will act as a deterrent and prevent misconduct,” the report stated.
