From appearing on the cover of international fashion magazines to being arrested for assaulting her maid, supermodel Naomi Campbell has always been one to make headlines.
The 80s and 90s become known as the Supermodel Era. Campbell, along with Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford, became known as the “original supermodels,” who appeared on the covers of every major fashion publication and made regular appearances in tabloids and gossip magazines. Best friends Campbell, Turlington and Evangelista were also referred to as the trinity.
Yet despite her successes in the fashion world, Campbell’s name soon became associated with certain controversies. Aside from a public feud with Tyra Banks and confessing that she had little part in writing her published novel, Swan, Campbell’s notorious temper has gotten her into trouble on several occasions. In 2006 she assaulted her housekeeper with a mobile phone and, most recently, she was charged with assaulting a police officer in Heathrow airport after the airline lost part of her baggage.
