Naomi Campbell: I Was Racially Abused On Flight

Following Community Service sentence....

Saturday 21st Jun 2008

Naomi Campbell has claimed she was racially abused on the British Airways flight which saw her sentenced to 200 hours of community service yesterday.

The supermodel admitted she should not have attacked police officers attempting to restrain her when she lost her temper on a flight after being told her luggage had been lost, but insists she was provoked after being called a "golliwog".

She tells Sky News, “I was called a racial name on that flight. And that was part of my reaction. Again, nothing to do with the police but yes from British Airways.

“I was called a golliwog supermodel, I don’t think that’s really fair do you? Would you like it if someone turned round and called you a golliwog supermodel?

“I mean I’m proud to be a black woman, I’m proud to be British, I’m proud of the job that I do but I did not call anyone names of colour, of their race.

“And, you know, I’ve had to leave all of that out of court and all of that out of statement because at the end of the day the real problem was, I took my upset and my, the end of my wrath came out on the police, which was wrong.”
