- Networks: Naomi Campbell's controversial relationship with weapons
- Health: The eccentric and extreme hygiene of Naomi Campbell when she travels by plane
There was a time when it was easier to meet Naomi Campbell in the hallways of a court than on the cover of a magazine. It was almost always for the same reason: a sudden accident came over him and, as if nothing happened, he filled someone's face with his hands. It all started in 1998, when he felt "enormous frustration" after being detained for a few minutes at the Toronto airport customs, and ended up paying the duck his personal assistant, Georgina Galanis, who was about to strangle on a sofa while I hit him on the head with a phone.
From there, that decade that had begun solidly installed in the hard core of the Six Great Supermodels of the 90s was seasoned with complaints and compensation under the table so as not to testify before the judge.
Campbell added more than ten similar cases, always accused by assistants, or domestic workers, of having put on edge during a quarrel or tantrum, and having acted with fury and injurious spirit. He threw a Blackberry in the face of his cleaning lady, Ana Scolavino, and the wound required four stitches.
Temperament mismanagement is often a problem for some celebrities, who end up in jail or apologizing on television, and always spending big bucks on compensation. By the way, they squander the good public image that could have been built, and some fall from grace. But for Campbell, to whom a long hand or a bruise could have sunk his career, that quinquin image has been beneficial. He may be remembered more for his brawls than for his accomplishments in the competitive fashion business - every time he broke glass ceilings for black models in magazines and on pageants, which is no small matter - but That fierce image is the one that has penetrated among a young generation that, resigned to living in a competitive and merciless world, has found in it a referent of an indomitable character.
About to turn 50, and having consolidated a career of three and a half decades - "when I started, they said it would only last 11 years," he recalled recently on his Instagram account, collecting the pending bill with those who did not bet a single hard For her-, Campbell continues at the foot of the canyon, parading, occupying covers and receiving the attention of fans not necessarily interested in designers, dresses or blue steel looks, but of that lineage of extraordinary figures that give life to our hectic times.
Forced to confine herself to New York, she started a series of YouTube interviews two weeks ago called No Filter that all her fashion colleagues go through, from Christy Turlington to Anna Wintour. He has also used, according to his own confession, to quit smoking.
Will the nicotine decline moderate your borderline level? Hopefully not. A tantrum or a free insult by Naomi Campbell will always be events that will relieve us of the tensions of the day to day, because it is not cut -it does not have a filter- and has allowed itself the luxury of belittling Kendall Jenner, the highest paid model of 2017 , or to claim the status of a genuine black diva of her time, over pop stars like Beyoncé, Rihanna or Nicki Minaj. Over the past decade, in some seasons he had accumulated up to $ 10 million in revenue. His accumulated wealth is estimated at about 80 million clean.
After all, she broke into an era when being black and superstar was a marginal event, and that deserves recognition. He did it behaving like a foul-mouthed punk, while his colleague Kate Moss did it with junkie circles: the sketchy style elevated to the altar of chic. And although she hasn't made many friends - her great competitor, Tyra Banks, called her an "abuser" -, her charismatic aura has been imposed on her capricious or turbulent episodes, which range from disinfecting the airplane seat to avoid germs to insult journalists or end badly with their boyfriends, from Adam Clayton (bassist of U2) to the Italian playboy Flavio Briatore.
"I did not come here to make friends," he said, on a famous date. He came to mark his territory, like the panther in the savannah, and to bite without mercy. They didn't give him almost a ten-year career and here they have it, turned into a myth.
