Naomi Campbell Allegedly Attacks Driver Police are looking to question
Naomi Campbell for allegedly attacking her driver in NYC, while seated in the back seat of the car,
TMZ reported. Campbell’s spokesman Jeff Raymond told TMZ, “There shouldn’t be a rush to judgment. Naomi will co-operate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye.” NYPD Deputy Commission of Public Information, Paul Brown, said that the driver pulled his car over in Midtown Manhattan at about 3 p.m. and reported that Campbell assaulted him. The supermodel allegedly fled the scene on foot. In 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault charges for hitting her housekeeper with a cell phone. In 2000, she pleaded guilty to assault charges for attacking an assistant. She was also arrested in October 2006 for allegedly assaulting her drug counselor. In February, Campbell spoke about dealing with her anger-management issues on CNN’s Connect The World, saying, “Everybody has their demons and I had to look in the mirror and face mine. “Until I did that there was not going to be a change in my life. …Every day I’m learning something new. But I know I’m taking steps forward and not backwards.”
