I can easily accept Naomi Campbell’s most recent bizarre behavior because it’s not verbally or physically abusive for once, but what I can’t understand is her publicist’s explanation. Naomi was pictured stumbling around allegedly drunk, which given that she’s a supermodel and probably only ate one lettuce leaf all day, then had half a glass of champagne on an empty stomach, probably isn’t an indication of binge drinking. According to her publicist, Naomi has something in common with teenage girls besides her weight – she also likes to play the ‘trust game’.

However, the star’s representative states the 38-year-old was not suffering the effects of a heavy night of drinking, but, in fact, was playing a “trust” game with friends.

The representative tells Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “It was just a bit of fun and not down to drink. Naomi was playing this trust game, where you fall into a friend’s arms.”

And in a bizarre twist, the representative also blames Italy’s scorching temperatures on the stumble: “It’s very hot there, so that could also have had something to do with it.”

So, which one is it? Does Naomi like to play the game, or was she overcome by the heat? Did she decide to play the game because it was hot? Isn’t more embarrassing for a 38-year-old woman to admit to playing the trust game than admit she was drunk? Looking at the pictures, Naomi stumbled on something, possibly her gladiator sandal style high heel. She was definitely not playing the trust game, as you usually stand in front of the person who is meant to catch you, not stumble face first into them while they and someone else help hoist you off the floor.

Like Tatum O’Neal, Naomi needs to learn that when you want an explanation to be convincing, you need to choose one story and stick to it.
