Magistrates heard yesterday how raging supermodel Naomi Campbell hurled vile abuse and punshed, kicked and spat at cops – then they let her walk free.
The crazed millionaires escaped a jail sentence and got just 200 hours community service and a £2,945 fine for a shocking bout of air rage on a BA jet after her bag went missing.
During the fracas, Campbell, 38, told police they were picking on her because she was black and famous. But last night there were furious claims that being a celebrity was what got her a light sentence.
Former Scotland Yard Commander John O’Connor said: “This is a disgrace. She basically got away with it. It’s one rule for the rich and famous and one rule for the rest of us. If anyone who wasn’t a celebrity did this they’d get a custodial sentence – but not Naomi. She’s set a terrible example and should be locked up for it.”
Last night Campbell went on TV and accused BA staff of racism.
She told a Sky News interviewer: ““I was called a golliwog model. I do not think that is fair, do you? I am proud to be a black woman. I am proud to be British. I am proud of the job that I do. But I do not call anyone names or colour of their race.”
She also branded BA “disgusting” over the T5 baggage fiasco and said the airline had “a lot of apologising to do”. BA rejected the racism charge. A spokesman said: “We fly to 90 countries and employ a multi-nationality workforce. We are proud of our diversity.”
