A model has claimed she was verbally abused by a celebrity stylist while attending a Melbourne Fashion Festival after party last week.
Paige Montana De Cinque stopped by popular Melbourne bistro Bar Bambi on Saturday night with friends and says she was yelled at by stylist Jamie Azzopardi.
According to The Herald Sun, the model alleged she was told by Azzopardi to ‘move the f–k along’ after wandering into his private booth.
‘As a model in the industry I thought this behaviour was a disgusting representation,’ she told the publication.
Azzopardi, who uses they/them pronouns, insists they responded calmly after De Cinque and her friends took a bottle of alcohol from their booth.

The celebrity stylist said ‘(De Cinque) had been asked to move about 50 times’.
‘People who know me know I’m not one to be disrespected, especially while I’m celebrating the end of an amazing week that was Fashion Festival,’ he said.
De Cinque denied taking the alcohol and said she did not recall seeing anyone with a bottle.
The bar owner Nick Russian told the publication the bistro was busy and he did not notice an argument take place.
