He said the District Attorney’s office had offered him a plea bargain but he was still considering whether or not to accept it.

A bench warrant for Campbell’s arrest was stayed because prosecutors did not seek to have it enforced, but Judge James Gibbons said that if Campbell did not show on the new date, it would be acted on.

"I want to make it clear that she is absolutely obliged to appear at the next hearing," he said.

"If she fails to appear on that court date, the warrant will go into effect."

Mr Breitbart said Campbell, 36, was "not able" to be at the court.

But he noted that she had not appeared in recent New York or Milan fashion shows, saying it was not a "professional commitment" that had kept Campbell away. He refused to comment on whether a health problem was the reason for her absence.

Campbell has already denied second degree assault.

Naomi fled a shop in tears - July 11, 2020
Naomi Campbell fled a shop in tears after a shop assistant refused to believe she was who she said she was. The supermodel was shopping for luggage in Peter Jones, in London, but when she handed over her credit card, the store assistant reportedly said: "I don’t think you’re Naomi Campbell."

At first, Naomi, famed for her fiery temper, thought the woman was joking but once she realised she was being serious, the pair exchanged heated words. The 36-year-old catwalk queen angrily insisted she was the real Naomi Campbell, but the shop assistant still refused to accept the card.

A spokesman for the model said: "There were a lot of people in the store and the situation was humiliating. Naomi was shaking with anger." Store management reportedly tried to intervene but Naomi stormed out and refused to ever visit the shop again. The supermodel is currently awaiting trial for an alleged assault on her former assistant Ana Scolavino.

The catwalk queen confessed the mystery man could be ’The One’. She is quoted in the Daily Express newspaper as saying: "I think I’ve met someone now who likes me for who I am, not what I do.

The 36-year-old beauty - famed for her fiery temper - also revealed her new beau can handle her infamous tantrums. She said: "I’m known for losing my temper. I’m a bit of a character. I’m working on who to trust."
