Naomi Campbell hid her handcuffs under a white poncho yesterday morning when the cops hauled her away for hitting her housekeeper in the head with a crystal-encrusted Blackberry.
Campbell claimed the housekeeper stole a pair of jeans, provoking the attack. Campbell hit the poor woman so hard she required four stitches. She then is asked her staff to say that the woman fell and hit her head.
Raging, Campbell cracked the BlackBerry against her housekeeper’s head at 8 a.m. - and then demanded her staff tell cops the 42-year-old maid had hurt herself falling, sources said.
But the sinewy supermodel’s servant alerted officials at Lenox Hill Hospital, and soon cops arrived at Campbell’s $3.5 million apartment to haul her away.
Campbell, 35, insisted she had no idea what cops were talking about and showed them a flip-phone, not the BlackBerry, as supposed proof, sources said.
But the cops cuffed her - disappointing an Oprah Winfrey camera crew waiting to film her for a cooking segment.
Ever the diva, Campbell hid the handcuffs under a white fur poncho. Sources said she also asked to ride in her own car to the police stationhouse and then paused as her minions begged cops to let them fix her bangs before she was escorted outside. The requests were denied.
Campbell is known for her violent outbursts, and has a long record of abusing her help. Glitterati has a good overview of Campbell’s history, which spans at least eight years and includes guilty pleas for past abuse charges.
We hope Campbell gets more than a slap on the wrist for this latest incident, and that her housekeeper successfully sues her for a huge sum.
