Naomi Campbell Accused of Assault Again

Naomi Campbell Accused of Assault – Again

Naomi Campbell – already due in court Tuesday for allegedly throwing a cell phone at a housekeeper – is being accused of assault and battery by another maid. 

In a filing in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court on Monday, Gaby Gibson asks for “actual, compensatory and punitive” damages, although she does not specify an amount, the Associated Press reports. She also accuses Campbell of employment discrimination and causing personal injuries.

The legal papers do not detail the alleged acts by Campbell, but in an April interview, Gibson told the New York Post that the supermodel, 36, hit her on Jan. 17, called her names and threatened to have her arrested after Campbell couldn’t find a specific pair of jeans.

Gibson’s lawyer, Thomas D. Shanahan, did not return calls for comment by the AP.

Tuesday’s case also involves a pair of jeans. Campbell is charged with assault for allegedly hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone in Campbell’s Manhattan apartment. Campbell allegedly accused Scolavino of stealing the missing garment.
