The T on Naomi Campbell


Last week, on the 15th to be exact, Naomi Campbell Campbell appeared in criminal court in New York City regarding her March 2006 assault. Her defense lawyer and the prosecutor told the judge that they were "still in the process of working out a possible" plea deal in the case. For those of you who don't know what this is about. Apparantly, On 30 March 2006 in New York City, Campbell was arrested for allegedly assaulting her housekeeper with a jewel-encrusted cell phone, resulting in a bloody head that required stitches. She was charged with second-degree assault, a felony that carries a minimum sentence of one year and a maximum of seven years in prison. Is this going to be another season of countdown to lockdown? I guess we'll have to see, but in the mean time, read about Ms. Campbell's violent history:


~Campbell has been accused of committing acts of violence and verbal abuse against some of her employees and associates. Documented accusations include:
~In 2000, she pleaded guilty in a Toronto court to a 1998 assault on Georgina Galanis, her then assistant; Campbell had assaulted Galanis with a telephone in a hotel room and threatened to throw her out of a moving car. Under an agreement with the prosecution her record was cleared in exchange for her expressing remorse; Campbell also paid Galanis an undisclosed amount of money and agreed to attend anger management classes.
~March 2005, the model was said to have slapped assistant Amanda Brack and beaten her around the head with a BlackBerry handheld personal organiser. The star's spokesman Rob Shuter denied the incident ever took place. In July 2006, Brack began proceedings against Campbell, claiming the supermodel abused her verbally and physically on three continents. Brack accused Campbell of assault, battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress in incidents that started a month after she began working for her in February 2005
Italian actress Yvonne Scio has claimed the model left her "covered in blood" after a spat at a Rome hotel. Yvonne claimed: "She punched me in the face. She was like Mike Tyson." Interestingly enough, Campbell once dated Mike Tyson.
~On 30 March 2006 in New York City, Campbell was arrested for allegedly assaulting her housekeeper with a jewel-encrusted cell phone, resulting in a bloody head that required stitches. She was charged with second-degree assault, a felony that carries a minimum sentence of one year and a maximum of seven years in prison.
~On 28 September 2006, she failed to make a required court appearance in New York City, and the judge ruled that he would order her arrest if she failed to show up on court the following week, on charges of a second-degree assault on her housekeeper, and could be jailed for up to seven years if convicted.
~On 25 October 2006, she was arrested in London on suspicion of assault. She has been released on police bail.
~On 14 November 2006, another former Campbell housekeeper, Gaby Gibson, filed a new lawsuit against the supermodel seeking unspecified damages, and accused her ex-employer of being a "violent super-bigot.".

~On 15 November 2006, Campbell appeared in criminal court in New York City regarding her March 2006 assault charges. Her defense lawyer and the prosecutor told the judge that they were "still in the process of working out a possible" plea deal in the case.
