Lauren Conrad Speaks On Apparent Catwalk No-Show
July 17th, 2008
Lauren Conrad has inadvertently caused a stir when she attended the 9th annual Paws for Style event in New York on Tuesday (July 15) for the Humane Society, and apparently failed to live up to her promotional duties.
According to a press release, ‘The Hills’ star was set to take to the catwalk with dressed up dogs, however, Conrad didn’t appear when the schedule indicated.
reports that Wendy Diamond, founder of the event’s sponsor, Animal Fair magazine, was unhappy with the star not fulfilling her role.
“This is an event to raise money for homeless animals. It is not an event for Lauren Conrad and her assistant to party in New York at the All-Star weekend,” Diamond said.
However, a statement released by Conrad’s rep disputed the controversy, saying, “Lauren just wanted to help the animals. She agreed to pose for the cover of the magazine, host the event, do press at the event and donate clothing, all of which she did. We are unaware of any other commitments. Lauren continues to support the Humane Society, as it is a wonderful organization.”
