Just like every other famous public person, Naomi Campbell has had her share of negative press. Tabloids have to make money, our voyeuristic need has to be satisfied, and that leads to fanatical paparazzi, half-truths published on the front pages, accompanied by clearly unflattering pictures.

 

Internationally acknowledged as one of the most beautiful and successful models in the fashion world, Naomi Campbell has been described as far from being a sweetheart. One of the scandals that received astounding media coverage during the last years involved Naomi Campbell and the issues she had with one of her maids. Her former housekeeper accused the supermodel of having struck her and called her a series of names, only because the housekeeper was unable to find a pair of Campbell’s jeans.

 

The former housekeeper, Gaby Gibson, pressed charges against Naomi Campbell, under whose employment she had been from November 2005 to January 2006. During the case, the supermodel denied all the claims brought against her by Gaby Gibson. Recently, however, the case was settled, and both parts agreed with the terms of the settlement.

 

This case was not the first issue Naomi Campbell has had with housekeepers. In 2007, for instance, she was ordered by a court to take anger management classes after she threw a cellphone at Ana Scolavino. In June 2008, she was sentenced to community service after previously attacking two police officers at London’s Heathrow Airport.
