“She looked great and seemed to be in great spirits,” Gang told Us Weekly on Tuesday.
In an email to HuffPost on Wednesday, Gang added: “I really didn’t notice anything wrong, but I also wasn’t looking for it either.”
Underwood, in a message to fans on Monday, disclosed that a tumble down steps outside her Tennessee home in November caused facial injuries and required 40 to 50 stitches. She said she wanted to spare the “gruesome details,” but warned she “might look a bit different” and “I just don’t know how it’s all going to end up.”
Gang, however, said Underwood looked fine last month. “I didn’t notice anything amiss on her face,” she told the magazine. “Simply, she looked lovely. She was extremely friendly and gracious.”
People noted that Gang reassured fans who responded to the picture on social media that the seven-time Grammy winner looked “amazing.” Gang said she had “no clue” Underwood was injured.
An Underwood rep didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
