Naomi Campbell
- Profession: Model
- Place/Date of Birth: Streatham, South London, 22 May 2020
Naomi claims the pop heartthrob, who she allegedly romanced for over a year, taught her to walk away from any potential confrontations and afterwards listen to music to calm down. She revealed to the Observer Magazine: "I’m at a point where I won’t let people push my buttons, I just want to walk away. It’s taken me God knows how many years."
The 35-year-old beauty added: "But when you do walk away you feel good about it. Robbie Williams told me, ’Always put your headphones on’. It’s a good little trick, play music, phase it out. That’s not to say I don’t have wonderful people in my life who can give me criticism. I don’t phase that out. "But if somebody I trust says, ’lay low’, I will."
Naomi and Robbie Williams enjoyed a secret year-long affair - Nov 21, 2020
Naomi Campbell and Robbie Williams enjoyed a secret year-long affair behind her boyfriend’s back, it has been claimed. The stunning supermodel was dating Formula One boss Flavio Briatore when she began the steamy romance with the pop heartthrob, according to her former PA, Rebecca White.
Rebecca claims the pair first got together in 2001 after Naomi’s battle with drugs hit the headlines and Robbie was the first to comfort her with a 48-hour romp. Rebecca told the News of the World newspaper: "I walked into Naomi’s bedroom and found them cuddled up in her bed. It was the apartment Naomi shared with Flavio with whom she was supposed to be having a serious relationship. But Naomi didn’t try to hide the fact that she was cheating on Flavio with Robbie."
The former PA alleged Naomi became obsessed with Robbie and she did all the running around during their 12-month fling. She added: "When Robbie was on the road in 2001, Naomi would have me track him down to various hotels and send flowers with the message, ’Thinking of you’. "It must have been very suffocating for Robbie because he never called her back to say thank you, and that got Naomi very upset." Rebecca claims their affair ended later that year after a final night of passion at one Naomi’s hotel suites. A spokesman for Robbie refused to comment on the story.
Naomi has spoken out in support of Kate Moss - Sept 27, 2020
Naomi Campbell has spoken out in support of disgraced Kate Moss. The catwalk queen thinks her fellow supermodel has been treated badly since her cocaine expose. Naomi, who has battled drug addictions in the past, said: "Kate Moss is my friend. I think it’s like everybody is being bad to her. It’s not the first time it has happened in the world. It’s really like a vendetta."
Meanwhile, Kate has been offered a $5million deal to model for an online gambling company, Nine.com. After being dropped by top fashion houses Chanel, Burberry and H&M after her cocaine scandal, the sexy supermodel has been offered a five-year contract with Nine.com. However, should Kate wish to accept the deal, she will first have to undergo a treatment course at a drug rehab centre, followed by a two-month "corporate retreat" at the company’s headquarters in Costa Rica, where she will be closely monitored. The firm also want her to take part in an anti-drug campaign for high school and college students.

She was raised by her grandparents since her mother, the ambitious Valerie, was making her way around the world with an exotic dance troupe. At 13, precocious Naomi started at the Italia Conti stage school. Two years later she was ’discovered’ in Covent Garden by a modelling scout.
Recently, she has been seeking anger therapy - her American agency fired her on the grounds that she was ’unbearable’ and published the following statement: ’No amount of money or prestige could further justify the abuse she has imposed on our staff and clients.’ She recently pleaded guilty to assaulting her assistant with the mobile phone she normally keeps clamped to her ear. Naomi had a top 10 hit with Babywoman in Japan and has a reputation for being always late.
She has been romanced by a string of men including Mike Tyson, Robert De Niro, Joaquin Cortes and was rumoured to have had a fling with Joseph Fiennes. She is currently dating Italian millionaire Flavio Briatore.
As well as modelling and a stab at a music career she has also penned a novel entitled Swan (1995) and has appeared in the film Pret-a-Porter, she also appeared in an episode of Absolutely Fabulous and once was a pupil in Grange Hill. Naomi has also just launched her own perfume. She also has an apartment in Chelsea. (written 2001)
