Remy Ma: "Me No Like Carpet"

Remy Ma's publicist has released a (poorly-punctuated) statement in response to the video of that young lady who claims to have been in relations with Remy. Help yourself...

"The fraudulent video hoax that has surfaced of an alleged female lover of Remy Ma is completely false and reps for Remy Ma emphatically deny these claims. The staged video and storyline, as well as the voice on the phone posing as Remy are all fictitious and have made it very obvious that this is a deliberate attempt to undermine Remy's name and character. Remy Ma has not nor has she ever been involved in a same sex relationship with the accuser or any other woman however Remy is respectful of those who choose the alternative lifestyle. Again, this video and claim are both 100% untrue and we hope that the involved accusers are aware of the civil liberties violated in the taping of this video."

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't Remy Ma's publicist qualify as a "rep"?? If so, why is she relaying info from "reps for Remy Ma"? SMH...the bootleggedness of it all.
