‘Maura had her own glam team in her room and what I heard is that she liked the dress but Scott’s PR, who was in charge of bringing her shoes, brought her ones she didn’t like.
‘Scott was mad because he did not like the ones the PR chose. It’s absolutely not true to say that Scott left Maura for three hours.
‘He is a professional and the weakness is unfortunately in his PR team. Maura wanted to get her own make-up and hair team in her room.’
