Mills felt Currie let the story grow like "wildfire".<br /><br />Southee was accused of getting too personal with a female passenger on an Emirates flight from Dubai on Wednesday. Mills told Radio Live that Currie shouldn't have made a comment before facts were established. <br /><br />"I have carried out a thorough investigation," Currie had said in a statement. "Tim met a female passenger on board the plane and spent some time with her. However, we are confident that nothing inappropriate happened between them," Currie added.<br /><br />The passenger was reported to have found her way on Southee's knee and kissed him on the cheek. However, another passenger   ufffd Ms Pippa Tabron   ufffd provided a different view. "There was nothing going on that I saw. <br />The boys were not hanging off her," said Tabron, who described the woman as "overweight and acting like a groupie."
