Naomi attacked her best friend - Aug 05
Naomi Campbell allegedly attacked her best friend - for wearing a similar dress. The supermodel is at the centre of a police investigation after reportedly flying into a rage and punching and kicking Yvonne Scio, who has been close to the star for 12 years. Yvonne, also a model, is said to have told police the star assaulted her in a "completely unprovoked attack". It’s claimed 36-year-old Yvonne had turned up a few minutes late to collect sexy Naomi for a party and infuriated the supermodel by wearing an outfit she thought was too similar to hers.
A friend is quoted in Britain’s The Sun newspaper as saying: "Naomi just flipped and went for her. Yvonne said she’d go and change. "Naomi continued to insult her and started kicking and punching her." Yvonne suffered a split lip and bruising and was taken to hospital in tears after the alleged incident in Rome’s swanky Hotel Eden. Police last night confirmed the blonde actress has made an official allegation. A spokesman for 35-year-old Naomi, who has a history of violent outbursts, said she denied the assault.

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)
