Naomi Campbell was arrested yesterday following allegations she had scratched her drug counsellor’s face. The catwalk queen was arrested at her London home after her therapist walked into a police station with her face covered in scratches and claimed the 36-year-old had assaulted her. A source reveals, “The marks were so red you could tell the attack had only recently happened.” News of Naomi’s temper has hit the headlines before – this being her ninth alleged assault in eight years. A spokesperson for former drug-addict Naomi says, “We believe there has been a misunderstanding. once police have investigated we are sure this will be resolved satisfactorily.” In 1998 Naomi’s assistant sued the model for threatening to throw her from a car. Naomi admitted the offence and underwent treatment for anger management. Since then she has been accused of assaulting several of her staff, including claims she held one assistant hostage and beat her. In March this year it was alleged she attacked a maid with her mobile phone, leaving her covered in blood. [27 october 2006]
