Naomi Campbell Lashes Out at British Airways

Naomi Campbell told Sky News on Friday lashed out at British Airways for losing her luggage:

"I was called a racial name on that flight. And that was part of my reaction. Again, nothing to do with the police but yes from British Airways. I was called a golliwog supermodel, I don’t think that’s really fair do you?’ Would you like it if someone turned round and called you a golliwog supermodel? I mean I’m proud to be a black woman, I’m proud to be British, I’m proud of the job that I do but I did not call anyone names of colour, of their race. And, you know, I’ve had to leave all of that out of court and all of that out of statement because at the end of the day the real problem was, I took my upset and my, the end of my wrath came out on the police, which was wrong."

Although Naomi has a right to feel upset over her lost luggage, her crazy behavior can’t be excused or justified. Naomi should sit down with Martha Stewart, and learn a lesson on diplomacy, especially since she is in the position of being a role model by virtue of the fact that she is a celebrity. If you want respect, you have to earn it.
