id=\"caption-attachment-279227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antigua and Barbuda PM, Gaston Browne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antigua and Barbuda has found itself at the center of a Hollywood scandal after it appointed film and Broadway star Angela Bassett as a tourism ambassador without going through the proper channels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ministry of Tourism in Antigua and Barbuda announced last week that Bassett and another Hollywood actress Dawn Lewis will be made ambassadors of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But attorneys\u00a0representing Bassett have now asked the Ministry of Tourism to \u201cimmediately cease and desist any and all use of Ms. Bassett\u2019s name and\/or image in connection with the Tourism Board\u2019s marketing or promotional efforts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A letter dated May 10, issued by Bassett\u2019s lawyers at law Fox Rothschild LLP, said no formal arrangement had been made in this regard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cWhile Ms. Bassett is honored to be considered by the Tourism Board for the distinction of Tourism Ambassador, we need to discuss what this means for Ms. Bassett including, but not limited to, the duties, responsibilities, timeframe, and approvals, etc. that will be required of Ms. Bassett,\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe request that the Tourism Board immediately cease and desist or stop using Ms. Bassett\u2019s name, image, and biographical information in association with the designation of \u201cTourism Ambassador\u201d until the parties have reached a mutual agreement, reflecting Ms. Bassett\u2019s acceptance of the Ambassadorship position and outlining any obligations and protections for Ms. Bassett in connection therewith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letter also took issue with the Department of Tourism, accusing them of using Bassett\u2019s photos \u201ctaken during her trip to Antigua for commercial purposes without the customary prior approvals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Department of Tourism has until May 15, 2023, to acknowledge receipt of the correspondence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prime Minister Gaston Browne was quoted in Antiguan news as saying that Tourism authorities acted in \u201cexuberance and prematurely\u201d when they commenced using the name, images, biodata, and other information of Hollywood Star Angela Bassett as a tourism ambassador-designate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cModalities had to be determined before to ensure that there are no tax implications or labeling as a politically exposed person (PEP) before they started using the information\u201d, Browne said<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile Chief of Staff in the Office of Prime Minister Lionel Max Hurst explained that the lawyer who issued the letter is attempting to ensure two things, &#8220;First that there are no tax liabilities attached to Angela Bassett\u2019s agreement or agreeing to be a tourism ambassador and second, if you are a US citizen and you agree to act on behalf of a foreign government, you also require in some instances a license&#8230;from the State Department listing you as a foreign agent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He claims the lawyers just want to ensure \u201cno liability attaches to her.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Antigua and Barbuda has found itself
