Naomi's regret vat attack on maid
Naomi Campbell says she very much regrets losing her temper and hitting her maid with her mobile phone over a pair of missing jeans last year.
“I felt very remorseful for having thrown the phone at someone that didn’t deserve it,” the 35-year-old supermodel told the US TV show “Extra” in an interview which aired yesterday.
“I have a deep sense of shame for the things I’ve done.”
It was “tiredness, lack of sleep (and) just so many things,” that made her do it, she said.
“I was being really destructive to myself. I didn’t know how to reach out.”
Campbell, who has a reputation for angry outbursts, pleaded guilty to misdemeanour assault last month for hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with the phone last March. Scolavino was treated for a head injury.
“I threw a cell phone in the apartment,” Campbell said at her court appearance. “The cell phone hit Ana.
“This was an accident because I did not intend to hit her.”
In exchange for her guilty plea, she was ordered to pay Scolavino’s medical expenses of $363 (€274), do five days of community service and attend a two-day anger-management programme.
