Acknowledging that Samuel was the "sweetest" but that she no longer worked with him, the business mogul added: "I saw my current makeup artist and friend Ariel post about Sam's accident and his family's GoFundMe and I called Ariel immediately to see what happened to Sam.
"They had already raised 6K so I [donated] 5k to reach their original goal and thought I'd post on my stories to gain more awareness if anyone also felt compelled to share or donate."
