    Very cool. Great call Mr. Mandela! I hope that now he does the same with Amy Winehouse.

  2. devilgirl says:

    Finally, someone hits Naomi where it hurts! At least Mandela has the guts to do what so few don’t, ban the crazy bitch. If we could only get her banned from everything else, it would be grand!

    As if there weren’t enough reasons already to love this man. This nearly makes up for her getting off with community service and a slap on the wrist. This was her one sole remaining claim to respectability. When one of the most forgiving individuals alive can’t forgive you, then it’s time to take a long hard look at what you’ve turned into. Result!

    Man! I can’t imagine getting schooled for my bad behavior by Nelson Mandela! I would feel sooooo bad.

    He was my college commencement speaker. I can hear his voice now: “Naomi, I’m so disappointed in you…” (cue Naomi whimpering)

    This was a man who took more crap than any human being since Ghandi, and yet forgave those who wronged him. Naomi could take a page from his book, but I doubt she ever will.

    There is honestly no one person on this Earth I respect and admire more than Mr. Mandela, and this just goes to show why.

    Wow, I had no clue that they were close! Wierd… Oh well, poor Naomi 🙄

  7. carmey says:

    @ Anna – YES! what WILL he do with amy!?!? thats a damn good question.

    nelson rules.

  8. Sadly, I don’t think anything will teach Naomi a lesson. She will never change.

    Agree, Cindy. She’ll find some way to twist this all around and make it someone else’s fault. In her own mind, she’s always the victim: that’s her problem.

  10. Emily says:

    I am so glad that Mr. Mandela made this decision. A good soul will always allow someone who has lost their way to discover their mistakes.

    Are we mad did we not forget what nelson mandela did sometime ago but after all he has done we love him ? mad . Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress .

    I totally agree with Anna, I’m not condoning Naomi Campbell’s behaviour but between Amy Winehouse and her beloved “Blakey” they must have had over 70 run ins with the Police. Yet she’s not banned from the centre stage. She still performed at Paris fashion week and countless other places despite being caught smoking crack on video. SO WHY DIDN’T ANYONE DISCIPLINE AMY AS WELL????
