By Daily Mail Reporter The petite ballerina who has been comforting Sir Mick Jagger following the suicide of his longtime girlfriend L'Wren Scott cut a solitary figure as she wandered the streets of New York City today. Melanie Hamrick, 27, was the subject of much conjecture when a picture of her and Jagger embracing on a Zurich balcony just 11 weeks after Scott's death was published. Scott's family has reacted to the picture with opposing statements. Her sister Jan Shane called Jagger's behavior 'grotesquely disrespectful,' while her brother has said he has nothing but warm regards for the rocker, whose love for his sister he 'never questioned.'
