Summary: A PR assistant claims supermodel Naomi Campbell bruised his face.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell is being accused of assault again! In the past, an assistant famously claimed the model hit her with a cell phone, and now a 26-year-old male publicist claims she abused him too, Perez Hilton reports.
The alleged victim claimed that he had showed up to Campbell’s New York City hotel around the Christmas holiday last year while she recovered from foot surgery. He said she thought he had tipped off the paparazzi, which had set her off. She then tried to grab his phone as he sent a text, and that’s when she allegedly bruised him.
The Bell Pottinger employee had photographic evidence of his bruised face after the alleged incident. He reportedly was hired to improve Campbell’s bad girl image, but he allegedly got “too close” to her.
Campbell, 46, has already issued a response, saying that she tried to grab the phone but didn’t hurt him.

“At the time, Naomi had had an operation and was in a wheelchair or on crutches, and the photographers seemed to know where she’d be. She wanted to get the phone off the PR man because he was texting in her presence and she grabbed it. There was no fight as such and she has absolutely no idea how he got a bruised face,” the statement said.
Campbell portrayed the alleged victim as a “fantasist” who was “addicted to the lifestyle.” She added that she “does regret snatching the mobile phone.”
After the alleged incident, Campbell dropped PR firm Bell Pottinger and returned to the company of Alan Edwards.
Campbell has been accused of assault multiple times, and a court has found her guilty at least four times, according to The Daily Mail.
