Naomi Campbell Accused of Attacking Photographer


Naomi Campbell’s fiery reputation is continuing to haunt her.

The British supermodel, 39, has been accused of hitting photographer Gaetano Di Giovanni with her handbag while in Italy.

“I had just started to photograph her. First she hit me with her bag, screaming at me in English,” Di Giovanni said. “Then she tried to slap me but I managed to avoid her — but her nails still got my eye. For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear her bodyguards and her boyfriend trying to drag her away.

“The hospital doctor said that I would need a few days to recover and have to go to an eye specialist. I am thinking about taking Miss Campbell to court.”

Naomi has been on holiday on the yacht of her billionaire boyfriend Mikhail Prokhorov on the Italian island of Lipari.

Campbell’s spokesman said, “Reports that Naomi attacked a photographer are completely untrue.”
