She wrote, “I just had the most traumatic experience of my life. I have been working for the past 25 years as a celebrity stylist. I don’t think I’ve come across such selfishness before in my life. I am extra nice, humble and gentle until you poke me. I put in my sweat and hard work in everything I do in my life.
“I’m extremely passionate and I work and strive for perfection and I go far beyond what I’m paid for, but there’s a line between wickedness, ego, and pride. And all these you must leave at the door when working with others to achieve perfect results.
“To everyone who knows me, I’m the most humble, selfless human being you can ever meet and I give everyone respect because that’s how I also want to be treated. It’s so shameful how some creatives try to sabotage each other in the line of their work. Such a big shame.”
