New Delhi: Supermodel Naomi Campbell is in trouble yet again. This time she's been arrested at the Heathrow airport for allegedly spitting at a police officer.
Campbell was on board a British Airways flight to the US when she was escorted off the plane by policemen and the alleged assault happened.
There is no official confirmation of the incident, but this is not the first such incident for Campbell.
In January last year, she pleaded guilty to assault for hitting her maid with a mobile phone.
In a one-page summons filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Campbell's former assistant Amanda Brack said she was subjected to a series of "verbal, physical and emotional attacks" by the model shortly after she was hired by her in February 2005.
Brack, who was 19 at the time, is seeking unspecified damages for "assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, reckless infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment," the suit says.
"On at least four occasions, Campbell assaulted and abused my client," Brack's lawyer, Gerald McCarthy said describing a series of tantrums by the supermodel.
In one instance, McCarthy said, Campbell struck Brack in the face with her Blackberry, slammed her against a wall and slapped her repeatedly across the face because a piece of her luggage got left behind during a trip to Brazil.
He said Campbell threw a cell phone at Brack's face during a subsequent outburst at the model's New York apartment.
During an April 2005 photo shoot in Morocco, McCarthy said, Campbell exploded in rage at Brack over a forgotten piece of clothing.
He said that Campbell left her assistant stranded in Morocco without funds, tore up her passport and threw it into the swimming pool and left her to pay the hotel bill.
In a final incident at Campbell's Park Avenue home, she ripped a sweater Brack was wearing "off her neck" and accused the assistant of stealing the garment, McCarthy said.
Another maid, Gaby Gibson, told the New York Post that Naomi whacked her in the back of the head when she was unable to find a pair of black designer jeans.
"She said it was to teach me a lesson," Gibson has stated then.
