Do you know how much I love writing about Naomi Campbell? SO much. She’s such an ungrateful snot, such an ungracious diva, so violent and nasty… it’s funny. Granted, if I ever came face-to-face with her (or face-to-hurled-bedazzled-phone), I would run. But from a safe distance, she’s hilarious (and probably a war criminal) So the latest story is that Naomi has just gotten herself sued. The litigious idiots who are about to get a face full of phone? Naomi’s former agent Carole White and the perfume company Moodform Mission (with co-director Chris Owen). There actually seems to be a case here, on both sides, but the details are rather funny. Naomi refused to present at an Australian awards show because the elevator was broken, and she would have had to walk up two flights of stairs. Oh, and this gem: “Chris Owen said Campbell was a nightmare traveling companion on the promotional tour — she was constantly late for meetings, and once even tried to attack him with a bottle.” Love it.
Steps? Naomi Campbell doesn’t do steps. The diva caused a stink when she was supposed to be promoting her perfume line by canceling an appearance because she didn’t want to walk up some stairs, The Post’s Janon Fisher reports.
In an affidavit, Campbell’s former agent Carole White said Campbell backed out of a televised awards show in Australia after finding out the elevator had broken and she’d have to walk up two flights of steps.
“Her failure to show was not only embarrassing, but caused friction with [the] Wella [perfume] people in Australia,” White said of the 2000 event.
White’s co-director at Moodform Mission, Chris Owen, said Campbell was a nightmare traveling companion on the promotional tour — she was constantly late for meetings, and once even tried to attack him with a bottle.
Moodform is suing Campbell for backing out of their 12-year-old perfume deal for such scents as Naomi Campbell, Cat Deluxe, and Cat Deluxe with Kisses.
The brawling beauty is fighting back. In court filings, Campbell said that she considered White “a surrogate mother,” and that she’d sign whatever White put in front of her without reading it — which is how she got roped into a deal she didn’t know much about.
She’s countersuing, saying that Moodform got money it wasn’t entitled to, and that White concealed her role in the company.
“Ms. Campbell is shocked and outraged by the false allegations made by her former agent and cohorts . . . who have made a fortune off of her,” her spokeswoman said.
Moodform maintains Campbell knew what she was getting into.
In asking a judge to throw the case out, White’s lawyer, Daniel Bright, wrote: “The human element that brings the parties before the court is clear: greed, ingratitude and a grotesque sense of entitlement on the part of Campbell that, in her mind, justifies her doing anything she wants to do, including stealing her business partners’ money and then lying about what happened.”

Now, I have to admit – it actually does sound like Naomi might have gotten screwed in this business deal. The perfume deal seems hopelessly budget, especially considering that Naomi could have gotten multi-million dollar endorsement contracts with major perfumers rather than a company called “Moodform”. BUT, I do believe that Naomi’s personality is best described as “greed, ingratitude and a grotesque sense of entitlement.” Plus, she attacked someone with a bottle! Survey says: still a C-U-Next-Tuesday.

And?
The point of Naomi is that she is nice to look at. That’s it. No one expects her to be nice, Mother Teresa or an academic. If she was anything else, we’d be bored shitless.
you forgot to mention a ‘balding’ c-u-next-tuesday. LOL.
If you came across her you’d run ? Ha ! If I ever had a run in with her and she turns out to be an all out psycho then two can play that game .
I’d just like to say –
In that top pic, her ass and thighs look HUGE in those jeans. That’s probably where she keeps her ego.
Does she have sideburns in the first pic?
“Cat Deluxe with Kisses”, guys.
OK I am LMAO on the CU Next Tuesday-I’ve never seen it put so eloquently!
Can you be sued simply for being a tnuc?
Sidebar: This word is so thoroughly nasty and meant almost exclusively for women. How is it different to fag**t or ret**d?
She needs to do time as does Lilo and face consequences for their behavior. She seems to have a good lawyer-always gets away with stuff or a slap on the Rolex.
I desperately want that company to rename their stinkwater “C*nt Deluxe” and “C*nt Deluxe With Kisses”.
“Campbell said that she considered White ‘a surrogate mother,’ and that she’d sign whatever White put in front of her without reading it….”
When will people learn to NOT sign anything without reading it??!! Especially in business contracts! And moreover, READING and UNDERSTANDING it? And if you don’t, you take it to a lawyer, not a friend, not a relative or someone you consider a “surrogate mother.”
She put herself in this position and it wasn’t like she was 18 when she signed it.
How can it be slander if it is true?
I don’t care what anybody says. I LOVE NAOMI CAMPBELL! She’s smart and stunningly beautiful and you know she would have your back in a fight 🙂
@snowball
huge? seriously? she’s a bloody runway model. I wish I was near you right now with a cell phone…
@ feebee – In the UK, the C-word and the T-word is used probably more frequently from men to other men, actually.
So it’s not the same as calling somebody a f****t or a r****d. It’s also not something that is a fixed condition; i.e., the person being called a c**t could easily change their ways and just be nice.
@ popcorny – you’re not serious. I wish I had her ass and legs, for sure.
Also, wth is going on with her hair? Tyra wears her real hair sometimes; can Naomi not wear a hot wig, like, ever? Because if that’s the case, I feel sorry for the bitch. I’d be throwin phones too. Wigs are horrid to wear. They make me crazy.
“about to get a face full of phone!”
that made me spew coffee at the computer screen! LMAO!
i’m with kimberly
i would love to show naomi how a puerto rican would react to her throwing her damn phone around like missiles!
as much as she’s flashing that kabbalah bracelet… i hope it’s doing her some good.
@ a — I KNOW, RIGHT??? LOL
I would also love to see her get as good as she gives by some hot-blooded fight club chick.
@ gg, thanks for that… but I’m intrigued… what’s the T word?
Twat? Tosser? Todger?
When you’ve had people telling you since you were very young how beautiful, special etc you are, then yeah it would be hard not to get a massive ego and feel entitled and Naomi is out of control and has been so for years. I am not excusing her behaviour which I find abhorrent, but she is no better than Lindsay Lohan in my opinion. They both have egos that have been made massive by the people they work with/surround themselves with. So in effect all of those people that do the brown nosing and yes man/womaning should also be ‘shot’, they helped create these nightmare monsters. With that said, I wish we could throw all of these entitled divas into prison which might take them down a few pegs and knock some sense into them. One could only hope though.
Snowball -huge thighs? Where? My thighs must be bloody monsterious then. What a dumb comment.
It’s such a shame about her personality, because she’s one of the few current models that I find attractive. Most of them look like anorexic aliens!
