We have not heard from Carly Fleishmann in 6 years

Post Reply New Topic

She co-authored a book with her father and fought through a world of ableism to highlight her humour and personality as an Internet talk show host. Carly Fleischmann also gained thousands of social media followers. She even landed interviews with celebrities like Channing Tatum, James Van Der Beek, and Stephen Colbert.

However, in 2019, Carly’s Facebook page posted that her father’s boyfriend sexually assaulted her. The post claimed that her father and staff repeatedly dismissed her allegations.

Her father, Arthur Fleischmann, replied to Carly’s post, dismissing her disclosure as an innocent misunderstanding.

This led Carly’s followers to call him out for blatant gaslighting and trying to silence her.

Someone then deleted the post and replaced it with a new post. It explained that people were listening to Carly, to but she deleted her post because people doxxed her family.

However the confusing saga continued when someone posted another post claiming that someone hacked Carly’s accounts.

Someone also deleted this message. However, a portion remains on Carly’s Twitter account. It notes that “the last verifiable post by Carly was on May 30th, 2018.” Carly’s brother also reiterated the hacker claims. He claims that the hacker was a disgruntled former employee.

It appears that the last time that Carly posted on her social media accounts was in February 2019, though her father posted a video of her in May of that year.

Therefore, fans continue to comment on Fleischmann’s old posts and on her father’s personal posts with requests for someone to confirm that Carly is safe and well.

When I reached out to Carly’s twin sister to request an update on Carly, she cryptically stated that Carly’s “lack of communication on social media is not cause for concern.”

She also said that she hopes that “this [update] clarifies any confusion.”

With Carly’s sister’s words in mind, I asked whether Carly planned to return to social media this year or book interviews.

Her sister declined to give any further information, adding, “I hope you can find satisfaction in knowing that Carly is doing well, as that really is the most important thing.”

His best-selling book, Carly’s Voice, about his gifted daughter has been translated into seven languages.

Within the Canadian advertising industry, there aren’t many names bigger than Arthur Fleischmann. He co-founded john st. in 2001. He helped it grow to the point of grabbing the attention of the world’s biggest holding company, WPP, which it joined in 2013. And, more recently, he found himself occupying two crucial positions within the national landscape: CEO of Ogilvy Canada, and country manager of WPP.

However, after 35 years of esteemed industry leadership, it seems the time has come for Arthur to take a break. In a major announcement last month, it was revealed that he’d be stepping back, handing over the reins to Christopher Andrews and Kevin Johnson at Ogilvy and WPP respectively.

While Arthur’s plans for the future aren’t yet definitive, what is certain is that he leaves behind a strong legacy. From navigating the opening of WPP’s Waterfront Innovation Centre and the covid-19 era to rebuilding the leadership team at Ogilvy, his impact has been tangible for many throughout the past years, and it will be a real challenge to fill his shoes in the months to come.

To learn more about his career, lessons well-learned, and why now was the right time to make this move, LBB’s Jordan Won Neufeldt sat down with Arthur for a chat.
