Naomi Campbell cries when asked about her anger issues: ‘Anger is an emotion’

naomi1

YIKES! This is Naomi Campbell’s Vogue Thailand cover for November. Is this a Photoshop disaster or a Botox disaster? I think it’s both. I’ve long suspected that Naomi has been getting Botox and fillers, and I think someone got a little overzealous with the airbrushing. Naomi looks like a plastic doll here.

Anyway, Naomi is currently promoting The Face, which seems to be getting more and more buzz, mostly because of Naomi. I’ve never watched it, but critics say it’s a standard modeling competition, which could be boring, except that Naomi is so crazy and angry, everybody is just watching her. The Mirror’s critic wrote: “The seething supermodel is such a rubbish mentor that terrible Team Naomi loses every challenge. And with each new humiliating defeat her volcanic temper erupts like Vesuvius.” Apparently, one of Naomi’s pep-talks was: “It’s a disgrace. I hope you guys pull it together or God help you. I’m just going to put my head in the oven and close my eyes… DON’T CRY CHLOE!” So, basically The Face is a docu-drama series of Naomi yelling at people and losing her temper. Which is funny because as Naomi promotes The Face, she’s being forced to discuss how much she’s “changed”:

Talking these days about her well-documented anger problems, Naomi Campbell feels another emotion, overwhelmingly – sadness.

“I made anger management serious. Anger is an emotion. There were things I had to deal with. You have to deal with it,” Campbell, 43, says in an interview airing Saturday on Britain’s The Jonathan Ross Show, according to the Mirror.

The British supermodel – who, among other incidents, pleaded guilty to assault charges for throwing a cell phone at a housekeeper in 2006 – then begins to tear up, and tells the show’s host: “I’m crying, you made me cry!”

Campbell, who says she dedicated herself to anger-management classes, also speaks about her past drug use, which included cocaine addiction.

“I don’t want to go back,” she says. “No matter what it is that you’re addicted to – you can be addicted to work – all it is, is an escapism. It’s escaping something, no matter what.”

“For me, I came to my realization at 29 that I didn’t like myself the way I was, and that was it.”

Campbell, who looks stunning as “The First Lady of Fashion” in a new W Magazine spread, just takes it day by day now.

“I’m no perfect human being,” she says. “I’m just living, and I’m just breathing.”

Nice attempt to deflect by Naomi. Apparently, Ross told her to “f—k off” after she said she was crying too. That’s basically like, “OMG, I can’t believe we’re talking about how I assaulted a bunch of people, you’re making me cry, you’re so mean!” Classic. Ross also asked her about her love life, although I’m not sure either of them even said Vladimir Doronin’s name. I suspect Doronin is still banging Luo Zilin, Naomi’s former protégé, and so Naomi plays this for sympathy too, saying: “I kind of did settle down, just not with the right person. This is my life, I am happy.”

    This lady is so thirsty, she’d sell her soul for a piece of corn bread. /smh

  2. Spooks says:

    God, beautiful people are forgiven so much by society.

    I hope she’s not messing with her face. I recently saw one of our famous models, Nina Moric ( the girl from the Livin La Vida Loca video) and she looks like a monster. So so sad.

  3. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    I don’t think she’s messing with her face–if she is then we all need her doctor’s number. But that cover is A-W-F-U-L! How in the world did she end up with blue/grey eyes?

  4. aims says:

    Maybe if she doesn’t want to be remembered as bat shit crazy, she needs to take a deep breath and walk away.

  5. Dhavynia says:

    Damn they almost made her nose dissapear
    And she looks like an old lady with that 1950’s hairstyle

    She’s irrelevant at this point. As much as I love the supermodel era of the 80’s/90’s she is one I don’t miss seeing out there. She’s more famous these days for her anger than her actual work which is a shame

  6. Dominique says:

    Botox my ass. Black don’t crack. Ask the next white chick about it.

  7. John Wayne Lives says:

    to steal an emotion from a poster on another thread… Poor rich supermonster…

  8. Hubbahun says:

    And self-entitled bitches are self-entitled bitches, Naomi, grow the eff up. Emotions don’t make you any less responsible for the consequences of your actions. To me, your inner ugliness radiates outwards.

    • Hakura says:

      I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished that the condition of one’s soul *always* influenced their physical appearance… It doesn’t quite seem fair, for more reasons than I can count.

    I watched the first season of The Face, and I didn’t think Naomi was a beast. A couple of diva moments here and there but ultimately she was very tough love kind of mentor. Not cuddly at all, by I respect that sort of personality.

    • SAHARA CHAN says:

      I really like her. Perhaps it’s because I realized that her anger issues were deep and had nothing to do with being a self-entitled Diva. A lot of models are sexually abused in the business. I don’t know if she were in the business or out, but I an tell you something happened to Naomi that makes her lash out. She made references in the past. I am glad she is in a great place now. As for her face, Naomi has amazing skin. When her face starts looking like shoe leather, then I will agree.. 😉

    • mabooski says:

      you know THAT version wont sell, it MUST be that shes a crazy black SHE-BEAST non?

  10. klue says:

    She is not single. She’s dating some Nigerian billionaire. It’s all over blogs here

  11. Sal says:

    Shes the female version of Alec Baldwin. They both have vicious temper tantrums.

  12. Nev says:

    Stunning Forever.

  13. Hakura says:

    Like I just said in reply up-thread… I wish the condition of one’s soul *always* (obviously) affected their physical appearance, for more reasons than I can count. Doesn’t really seem ‘fair’ to get the reception & praise of a beautiful person, when you’re inwardly an arrogant; angry, monster.

  14. wtf says:

    I know she has a lot of haters on this site, but I God I love this woman. She is beautiful. She is bitchy and seems like a lot of fun to hang out with. It can’t hurt to have a 6 ft tall chic that isn’t afraid to throw a punch in your corner…..

    btw, I think that her publicists make her say these things about ‘changing’ ‘getting better’ blah blah blah. I get the feeling she has run out of f*cks to give about making nice.

  15. Gabby says:

    She didn’t cry in the Ross TV interview. Ross didn’t tell her to F*** off. I watched the entire interview on the net. The writer of the article obviously did not. It was a long funny, interesting interview. She walked in the the famous Vivienne Westwood shoes. Ross clearly adores her and have been friends for years.

    She’s done tons of covers and spreads this year, W, Vogue Brazil Interview etc. She’s executive producing and starring in the The Face UK, US and Australia with more to come. She looks wonderful, gotten over the Russian, maybe seeing with another billionaire, so all and all she’s cool. She hasn’t asked for and doesn’t anyone’s sympathy!

  16. TrixC says:

    Hate the cover shot. They’ve given her blue eyes and lightened her skin tone. Why not just use a white model, if that’s the look they want?

    I was just reading a short article about plastic surgery yesterday and how sometimes women who do too much too often develop a new “set point” where they literally forget what they looked like before surgery. So after a while it’s not about looking like a younger, fresher version of their original selves but, because (like body dysmorphic disorder) they still see themselves as old, they try to improve on the surgically altered person they see now. It results in stacked surgeries… massive cheeks, cat eyes, huge chin implants and horse veneers. So sad. 🙁
