Once upon a time, all a model would get out of bed for was to sashay down the runway. As long as they were doing what they did best (and preferably keeping their mouths shut) no one cared whether they were doing lines or modelling them.
Not anymore. Looks like a large part their energy appears to be being spent on keeping themselves from being thrown in the slammer. But it’s their own stupid fault of course. This time it’s Supermodel Ms Naomi Campbell who, though just 36, has a fiery temper of legend. Looks like her well known temper may actually land her in jail in the not too distant future, unless she again manages to dredge up some more remorse for flying into one of her now-famous rages.
Ms Campbell was told she was “absolutely obliged” (translation: turn up or else) to be at Manhattan Criminal Court on November 15 over the accusations by her (latest) maid that she allegedly threw a mobile phone at her. Her maid needed four stitches. The mobile phone was said to be a diamond encrusted Blackberry. Hello? A diamond encrusted Blackberry!? Wonder if the diamonds are round the screen or the keyboard? I’d love to see one myself. But I digress…
If Naomi doesn’t appear in court in November a warrant will be issued for her arrest. She was already arrested in March this year. Yet this is this is not the first time the supermodel has been in trouble over her “temper tantrums”. And it surely isn’t possible that ALL her maids and assistants are lying.
In February 2000 Ms Campbell pleaded guilty to an assault charge for beating her assistant with a telephone while making a film in Canada in 1998. She expressed remorse for the assault (though she wasn’t in court to enter the plea) and was released without punishment or a criminal record. She was ordered to take anger management classes. In August 2005, Ms Campbell was questioned for assault of a fellow model in Rome.
Those anger management classes clearly didn’t work very well. Ms Campbell might want to ask for a refund.
She’s already denied second degree assault for the latest charge. If she’s convicted she could face up to seven years in prison.Maybe that isn’t such a bad way of teaching someone you just can’t go around bopping people with your bloody phone every time you get pissed off about something they say. Chances are though she has a good lawyer… for starters he might gently encourage her to attend her next court appearance. He’ll be fully clad in protective gear of course – and all telephones (fixed and portable) should be removed from the premises. Just to be on the safe side. Or at least be well out of missile throwing range…
But wait – perhaps the problem isn’t Naomi’s at all. Perhaps it’s all the fault of the telephones, since they now look to be the weapon of choice for temperamental, out of control and otherwise-challenged celebrities.
Remember Russell Crowe?

Naomi is a freak and a bitch.
And that temper will chill if they’ll put her in a mad house or detox center for long time .The prison sounds better though.
But….people like her manage to get away with anything almost all the time.
