Naomi Campbell Biography |
|
On graduating from Italia Conti, her looks created her an income and She switched to become a fulltime model, creating a high profile career and creating two spin-off companies: NC Connect and a self-named line of perfumes. Source:[1] [edit] ModellingAged 15 and while still a student of the Italia Conti stage School, Campbell was spotted by Beth Boldt, former head of Synchro models agency, window-shopping in Covent Garden. In April 1986, She appeared on the cover of Elle, when a black model had to cancel out of the appearance, and was replaced by Campbell. By August 1988, she had appeared on the cover of the French Vogue as that publication's first black cover girl, and she completed campaigns for Ralph Lauren and François Nars. Campbell has tried her hand at singing. Her single " Love and Tears" was a hit and her solo album Baby Woman sold over 1 million copies worldwide (but mostly in Japan), and She was featured on Vanilla Ice's single " Cool as Ice." In 1995, her collaboration with Toshinobu Kubota, "La La La Love Song", became a no. 1 hit in Japan, with the single selling approx. 1,856,000 copies. That same year she sang on Quincy Jones' album "Q's Juke Joint". [edit] AuthorCampbell "co-wrote" the best-selling novel Swan in 1996, and She followed it up with a photography book entitled Naomi. But when questioned about her use of a ghost writer for " Swan" Campbell admitted that She wrote almost none of the book: "I just did not have Time to sit down and write a book" [2] [edit] Trivia[edit] Drug addictionIn February 2001 pictures were published in the Daily Mirror newspaper showing Campbell leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in London. In March 2002 Campbell sued the paper citing a breach of confidentiality, since She was receiving treatment for drug addiction at the Time. The Mirror claimed that the pictures were in the public interest as Campbell had denied having a drug problem publicly and had, up to that point, not been known or demonstrated to be a drug addict. The High Court ruled in Campbell's favour and the Mirror was ordered to pay £3,500 in damages (although legal costs were thought to be around £500,000.) In October 2002, the Mirror won an Appeal Court ruling that the photographs were indeed in the public interest. Campbell was ordered to pay the costs of the Mirror's legal fees, a cost of around £350,000. However, in May 2004 the Law Lords overturned the Appeal Court ruling by a 3 to 2 majority, which reinstated the High court's original decision, and Campbell was rewarded £3,500 and the £350,000 legal costs. The Mirror's legal cost is thought to be over £1,000,000. The case is also thought to be a landmark in the rights of celebrities to privacy.[3] [edit] Feuds[edit] Legal troublesCampbell has been accused and arrested because of committing acts of physical 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 lessons. [4]
- March 2005, the model was said to have slapped assistant Amanda Brack and beaten her around the head with a BlackBerry hand-held Personal organiser. The star's spokesman Rob Shuter denied the incident ever took place. In July 2006, Brack began legal 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 [5]
- 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." [6] Interestingly enough, Campbell once dated Mike Tyson.
- On 30 March 2006 in New York City, Campbell was arrested for allegedly assaulting[7] her housekeeper with a jewel-encrusted mobile phone, resulting in a bloody head that required several stitches. She was charged [8] with second degree assault, a felony that carries a minimum sentence of one year and a maximum of seven years in prison. [9]
- On 28 September 2006, She did not attend a required Court appearance in New York City, and the judge ruled that he would order her arrest if she failed to turn 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.[4]
- On 25 October 2006, She was arrested in London on suspicion of assault. [10] she has been released on police bail.
- On 14 November 2006, another former Campbell housekeeper, Gaby Gibson, began a new Court case against the supermodel seeking unspecified damages, and accused her ex-employer of being a "violent super-bigot."[5].
- On 15 November 2006, Campbell appeared in criminal Court in New York City regarding her March 2006 assault charges. Her defence lawyer and the prosecutor told the judge that they were "still in the process of working out a possible" plea deal in the case.[6]
