"While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don’t think there would ever be reason to use it. She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night. I fully understood and forgave her! I love Tiffany, doing great!"

It is reported, Westerhout cried on the night of elections, in 2016, when Trump was announced as the next president for the United States.
