For Better or Worse, a Real Catfighting Queen of the Hill: Naomi Campbell

CATFIGHT REPORT HALL OF FAME ENTRY - NAOMI CAMPBELL


Naomi Campbell, a super model with long legs that never seem to stop.

Indeed, possibly one of the sexiest supermodels to ever walk the face of the earth.

It's possible that some may be offended that we are choosing a woman to report on, who has been charged or accused of assault numerous times.

People might be offended, that we are "glorifying" this type of behavior.
(perceptions, perceptions)

But this is the Catfight Report, as we report on catfights, real and staged, between women of age. This is something that many people enjoy, and for those who do not enjoy catfights, they do not have to read this, nor support this website.

Now, at the same time, this is a bit of a controversial choice, because of some of the means she used against certain women. Not only would she torture women physically, but Naomi seems to be very big on torturing women "mentally".

So, we should make it clear, that we do not support all of Naomi Campbell's actions.
Here are some of the catfights and/or skirmishes that Naomi Campbell has engaged in, that we know of, and you can decide for yourself if you support, or enjoy, this type of behavior or not.

The Women/Victims/Combatants

Georgina Galanis - 1998

This woman got the job as one of Naomi's personal secretaries, but it didn't last long, as a week later, Naomi bashed her over the head twice with a cell phone. Reports claim that Naomi also grabbed her by the neck, punched her in the shoulder twice, violently shook her by the neck, and slammed her hard up against a wall.

Naomi also threatened to throw Georgina out of the car on a busy highway, threatened to have her deported, and verbally abused her greatly during this one week period of employment.

It was reported that Naomi pleaded guilty and paid undisclosed damages.

Vanessa Frisbee - 2000

Vanessa claims Naomi assaulted her, yet I'm failing to find any details of that assault on the internet. (can you help?)

Vanessa Frisbee had been employed by Ms Campbell to provide management services under a weekly contract.

Through a breach of a confidentiality agreement by Vanessa Frisbee, a salacious article appeared in the News of the World, about steamy sexual encounters between Naomi Campbell and actor Ralph Fiennes.

Naomi was engaged to be married to Renault boss Flavio Briatore when this steamy news was leaked by Vanessa Frisbee to the British based paper.

Vanessa was paid $25,000 to leak the news, and another guy was paid $5,000, that was somehow connected. Problem is, Vanessa had a confidentiality agreement with Naomi, and breached this contract.

The courts sided with Naomi on this charge, and she ended up winning the case.

Simone Craig - 2001

Simone Craig was a personal assistant for Naomi Campbell, and in her late 20's, in the time period in which this happened.

Simone claimed that Naomi grabbed her by the arms, threw her down on the couch, and kept her prisoner in a room at the L'Hermitage Hotel, while yelling:
"You are going to stay here and do your job!"
It has also been alleged that Naomi threw a cell phone at Simone.
Campbell and her lawyers denied the accusations and no charges were filed.


Amie Castaldo - 2004



Amie was yet another assistant of Naomi Campbell's.

Like many others, she received the "Naomi treatment", if you believe the reports.
Amie Castaldo claimed that Naomi called her "worthless", bit her, and threw a phone at her. (although she missed)

Amie eventually quit after hearing Naomi complain about her, but this did not end things.

When Naomi found out, Amie claimed that Naomi "bit her on the lip", head butted her, and dragged her through a house by her hair!

Amie claimed: "All I knew was that I had to get out of the house, otherwise I was going to be physically harmed. But as I went to leave Naomi started screaming, ‘Come back here, you fucking bitch!’"


Amie must have escaped, as she then went to the police.

Amie also claimed regarding the incident:


She would explode like the Hiroshima bomb, then start crying. Then she’d be all sweet and give me a high five. The next day it would all go off again."


Amie also revealed the following to Britain's News of the World newspaper:

"Naomi 100 per cent needs to get help. She was incredibly mean to me and very cruel.

"She would scream at me every day - in public places - in front of people I knew. It really didn't matter.

There was no pleasing her and no end to the humiliation and degradation I suffered. It was like, 'You're my personal punchbag.'



Amie eventually ended up filing charges.

Naomi's spokesperson denied the charges, saying:


"She categorically denies wild accusations by Amie Castaldo."




Millicent Burton - 2004


Back in 2004, Naomi was accused of brutally beating up her maid-housekeeper, Millicent Burton, as the 44 year old woman was sent to the hospital. Campbell's lawyer claimed that Millicent pushed Naomi first, and reports claim Naomi came back with a series of slaps, scratches, and punches that sent Millicent to Lenox County Hospital.

Burton's son, Khirlu, claimed at the time: "She's still swollen," adding, "Naomi has hit her before."

Representatives for Naomi Campbell said the fight was brought on by Burton, who "went berserk" after Naomi asked her to help her pack for a trip to Brazil.

Lauren Meisels, an assistant for Naomi Campbell, who witnessed the fight, had the following to say regarding the incident:

Yes, "they were rolling on the floor. They were fighting. They were screaming," but the fight only began after "Naomi asked her to organize one bag, and Burton started screaming, saying, 'I'm not doing this today!'

Meisels then provided more information:

"When Naomi said, 'OK, you don't want to work today, please leave' . . . Burton started making a fuss, saying she wouldn't leave without money . . . They were screaming at each other.

"Millie pushed Naomi," Meisels said.

"Naomi put her hands up to defend herself, and next thing I know, they're on the floor . . . Millie was on top of her."

Meisels then claimed she tried to tear the two apart, but Burton fled down the stairs.

The cops were called, and Burton filed a harrassment complaint against Naomi Campbell.

The police report claimed that Naomi began yelling at Burton, and Burton pushed Naomi to create some space between both of them. Burton then claimed that Naomi slapped her on the left side of her face, and flung her purse out the door.

The police report claimed that Burton had no injuries, but another source, including Burton's son, claimed that her face was very swollen and bruised, and complained of her face "aching badly".

Naomi claimed Millicent started all of the events, and was only trying to capitalize on the events after the fact.

Amanda Brack - 2005


Amanda Brack was hired by Naomi Campbell after reports claim she helped her with a "costume malfunction" in the ladies room of a french nightclub.
After being hired, reports claim things did not stay very rosy for long.

Amanda Brack eventually accused Naomi Campbell of false imprisonment, battery, assault, and causing emotional distress, during a string of incidents after she began her employment sometime in February 2005.

Claims include that she was slapped, and beaten with a blackberry device.

Amanda filed this lawsuit around the same time Naomi was battling Ana Scolavino in court during plea hearings.

Amanda's lawyer cited 3 places where Naomi physically assaulted her:

- Brazil
- Morocco
- Naomi Campbell's apartment in Manhattan

Reports claim one attack left Amanda Brack's face bruised, but Campbell was very apologetic, and even ended up giving her gifts, and introduced her to her famous friends.

After these "apologies", Naomi Campbell allegedly spat in Amanda's face sometime later, took $1,500 of her money, along with a passport, and left Amanda stranded in Morocco according to the suit Amanda filed.

Yvonne Scio - 2005

Once friends, but now, maybe not.

In a Rome Italy hotel in 2005, Yvonne claimed that former friend Naomi Campbell, insulted her and said she was "just an Italian starlet". This was after an argument where reports claim Naomi berated Yvonne for wearing a similar dress.

Yvonne claimed:

"She pushed me against a wall and tried to scratch my face."

"Then she punched me two of three times in the face really violently and there was blood everywhere."

"I was petrified. I couldn't even cry because I was in such pain. I was stunned. She was like Mike Tyson."


(these claims were made in an interview with an Italian magazine called "Chi")

Yvonne needed hospital treatment, for a badly split lip, and severe bruising.
Yvonne Scio filed charges.

One of Naomi's lawyer's claimed that it was a "small matter".

Marcelle Bittar - 2005



Fellow model Marcelle Bittar and Naomi mixed it up sometime in 2005.

Naomi caused a man to lose his job, as she lost her temper, and reports claimed she punched and kicked him. This angered Marcelle, as she was a friend of this man, and she claimed she had wanted to stand up to Naomi for quite some time.

"I promised myself to confront her about that next time I saw her," Marcelle told Sao Paulo columnist Monica Bergamo.



The location was an exclusive San Paulo restaurant, and reports claim that plenty of punches and slaps were exchanged between the two sexy hellcats.

Naomi Campbell's representative denied the story at the time.

We cannot find any additional information on this story.

Gabby Gibson - 2006



"What I was afraid of, it was her swings," said Gabby Gibson, another former Campbell maid.

"Physical swings."


Gibson says she was struck by the supermodel while they were searching for a lost pair of jeans.
Gabby Gibson commented further:

"So I kneel down on my knee and she came from behind and swing in my — in the back of my head. And I ask her, what for are you hitting me?" said Gibson.



Gabby Gibson ended up seeking unspecified money damages for personal injuries and employment discrimination.

"I'm terrified of her. She knows where I live." said Gibson,

"She has issues. She's not normal."


Just like always, Naomi denied the charges.

Ana Scolavino - 2006

Naomi seems to love hitting her assistants with cell phones, if reports are true, as it happened again this time.

Ana received 4 stitches, was unable to see properly after being hit, and was bleeding heavily after an alleged attack by Naomi.

Reports claim that Naomi hurled her "jewel encrusted" cell phone through the air, and blasted Ana in the back of the head. Naomi claimed that Ana stole a pair of her jeans.

Ana, who reports describe as small and curvy, replied:

"Do you think I can fit into a pair of her jeans?"

Naomi claimed that the events didn't happen, and that Ana was simply trying to extort money from her. It was also claimed as possible retailiation, as Naomi had fired her sometime earlier.

It turns out, that Naomi pleaded guilty in court, AND THEN, she admitted to everyone, that she indeed did throw a cell phone at Ana.

Campbell, 36, told Manhattan Criminal Court, "I threw a cell phone in the apartment. The cell phone hit Ana."

"This was an accident because I did not intend to hit her."

She was ordered to pay Scolavino's medical expenses, complete 5 days of community service, and was instructed that she attend anger management classes.

THE VERDICT


Naomi Campbell is one bad ass bitch.

She is also either an extreme pathological liar, or the most unlucky woman in the world when it comes to false allegations.

She also seems a bit crazy. Very crazy. Well, sexy, and crazy.

We kind of like that in a woman. To an extent, anyhow.

With all of this said, this is not all of the fights and spats she has been in. She also had a famous,
long running tirade with Tyra Banks, and Tyra was absolutely terrified of Naomi for years on end.

Tyra eventually invited Naomi on her show, but it was obvious that Tyra was scared to death, even though Naomi played the good girl card in her usual gamelike way.

You can find clips and excerpts about this on Google.

So in closing, Naomi is the "Queen of the Hill" as far as we are concerned, because there was not one account above where she has lost a single catfight.

She is rich, she is sexy, and like a true crazy woman, she doesn't take shit from anyone.

So Naomi Campbell, even though we don't agree with all of your tactics, we at the Catfight Report salute you!

All we ask in the future, is that you beat up these women in a boxing ring, or in an MMA match, so everything is fair, legal, and consensual.
