Naomi Campbell 'attacked photographer'
Model is accused of hitting a paparazzo during a romantic holiday in Sicily with her boyfriend Mikhail Prokhorov
3 August 2009
FIERY supermodel Naomi Campbell could be in hot water again after she was accused of attacking a paparazzo and putting him in hospital.
Campbell, 38, had been on a romantic holiday in Sicily with her billionaire boyfriend Mikhail Prokhorov when she allegedly slapped and hit the snapper with her handbag.
"First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me. I managed to avoid her - but her nails still got my eye"
Gaetano Di Giovanni told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me. I managed to avoid her - but her nails still got my eye.
"For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear that her bodyguards and her boyfriend were trying to drag her away."
A spokesman for Campbell denied the attack took place and said in a statement: "Media reports circulating that Naomi Campbell attacked a photographer in Lipari, Sicily, are completely untrue.
"The photographer was seen following Naomi Campbell on a small boat, taking photographs, the day after the alleged incident."
Police on the exclusive holiday island said they had not received a complaint.
Streatham-born Campbell has become as famous for losing her temper as for her modelling achievements.
Last year she admitted attacking police on a plane at Heathrow after her luggage was lost at Terminal Five.
