Italian Court Gives Naomi Campbell Suspended Six-Month Jail Sentence For

Campbells transfer? She took her purse and hit the photographer, one thing perhaps she has gotten away with prior to now… In 2006, the supermodel was charged with second-degree assault for infamously throwing a cell phone at her housekeeper, who she accused of stealing a pair of jeans. According to reports, the model hit the photographer with her purse after she noticed him capturing photos of her and affluent ex-boyfriend Vladimir Dorinin.

A six-month suspended sentence might sound like Campbell will be spending half a year in lockup, but that’s probably not going to happen. In 2013, when Campbell was ordered to stand trial, di Giovanni said, “I had just started taking some shots of her and I did not expect such a violent reaction“.

A statement issued to Eonline.com reads: “We are appealing the ruling surrounding the 2009 incident”. “Due to the continued authorized course of, we can not talk about the matter additional presently” stated Guido Carlo Alleva.

Giovanni required an intense medical attention and he finally recovered after three days from the injury, the court heard. Di Giovanni originally dropped the charges because he was not distraught by the situation, but ended up pursuing the lawsuit anyway, possibly because he wanted to take advantage of her being a public figure.

This was not the first time the “Miss Universe 2001” host confronted legal charges. She was ordered to attend anger management classes in 1998 after striking her personal assistant with a mobile phone.

From that charge, Campbell served five days of community service in New York City in 2007.

The supermodel has also been involved in a blood diamond scandal after allegedly receiving several stones from former Liberian president Charles Taylor in 2010, an accusation she denied at the Leidschendam Special Court for Sierra Leone after she was subpoenaed to testify at a trial involving Taylor’s war crimes.
