Naomi Campbell - More Trouble in NYC


The supermodel was due in a New York court Wednesday to face charges of assaulting a housekeeper — one in a series of former employees who have said the supermodel is striking in more ways than one.

The latest allegation came just Tuesday, when former maid Gaby Gibson sued Campbell for the second time.

Gibson says the 35-year-old model hit her, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of Stella McCartney jeans.

Campbell's court date Wednesday stems from a similar accusation: She was unable to find a pair of jeans and allegedly blamed the maid.

Campbell, who is from London, faces up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted in that case. Her lawyer, David Breitbart, has said a plea deal was possible, but he did not say what it might entail.

In Campbell's latest legal woes, Gibson's new lawsuit says "Campbell either kicked or punched the back of Gibson's head ... while yelling discriminatory comments" as the maid searched the closet for the model's jeans.

Gibson worked for Campbell from November 2005 through January 2006. Her court papers call Campbell a "violent super-bigot" who disparaged her maid by saying, "You are not in the Third World any more, stupid," and "Romanians are not usually as dumb as you."

Breitbart denied Gibson's claims.

Damn this bitch is a major bitch. She should probably just go to jail.... hopefully this will give her some reality check. I'm so sick and tired of celebrities acting like babies. UGH!!!
