… jail, after being charged with assault in a New York Court - but she insists she is being “extorted.” Naomi denied hurling a mobile phone at her assistant on Thursday, insisting the charges were “falsely” brought against her as revenge for sacking the employee earlier on Thursday. “I am fine. The police have been really nice. It won’t be the first time I have been extorted,” Naomi Campbell says. As we know, the incident occurred at 8am on Thursday, when the 41-year-old aide was allegedly fired (at least Naomi says that) and then struck on the head with an object after Campbell accused her of stealing a pair of jeans (maybe Naomi has stolen them from some fashion show, who knows) . The alleged victim received four stitches to the back of her head while Naomi was arrested at her home and taken to the Midtown North Precinct in New York City. The judge at Manhattan Criminal Court put up bail of $3,500 (= 5 minutes work) and demanded Naomi appear in court again in June on the single charge of felony assault. She has been accused of throwing phones at her assistants twice: in 2000, the model pleaded guilty to hitting former assistant Georgina Galanis with a telephone and was ordered to take anger management classes. Another former personal assistant, Simone Craig, claimed Naomi Campbell threw a mobile phone at her in 2001. This story is getting interesting curiouser and curiouser…
