Lauren Conrad is defending herself from accusations she walked out of
Animal Fair magazine's "Paws for Style" benefit for the Humane Society in NYC Tuesday.
"I have always been responsible and keep my word on all commitments," she wrote on her
MySpace blog Wednesday.
Animal Fair editor Wendy Diamond alleged that Conrad had ripped off the Humane Society by skipping out on a portion of the fashion show. Diamond also said Conrad's trip to NYC was paid for by
Animal Fair.
"I am extremely hurt and disappointed that Wendy Diamond would go to the press and attack me with untrue statements," Conrad responded.
"I agreed to pose for the cover of the magazine, host the event, do press at the event and donate clothing, all of which I did. I was not aware of any other commitments," she continued.
The
Hills star, 22, denies she was paid for the event or her airfare and says her hotel room was donated to the charity.

"Anyone who knows me, knows this is not the kind of person I am or who my parent's raised me to be," she added. "It's just embarrassing that people are saying these things about me.
Conrad says she put the interests of the Humane Society first.
"I was trying to do a good thing and help out a charity by doing everything I agreed to do," she wrote. "I continue to support the Humane Society, as it is a wonderful organization."
