Video: Naomi Campbell Punches ABC Camera

Naomi Campbell is keeping her right hook sharp; her latest victim found himself on the wrong side of an ABC camera. During a recent interview the network asked her if she was given a "blood diamond" by the former Liberian president Charles Taylor—who is currently on trial. The interview will air tonight during a Diane Sawyer report regarding Taylor's case and crimes against humanity. Campbell has allegedly refused requests to be interviewed about the allegations, something that could "help link Taylor to the possession of uncut diamonds used to fuel a campaign of terror in Sierra Leone between 1997 and 2001."

When pressed for details about the diamond, Naomi refused to answer any questions, stood up, and punched the camera being held by a producer. For added dramatic effect, turn on the volume to hear a loud glass-smashing sound. Good thing she wasn't wearing that huge diamond!

Earlier this year the supermodel pre$$ured a driver into not filing charges after she punched him.

    Well said youngpro.

    damn, she looks horrible. And why is there a seal in the Canadian's Ad? They club baby seals. WTF?

  • youngpro

    felix,

    Canadians in the sense that you and I know them do NOT club seals. Seal clubbing is practiced by the fucking native americans that have done it for 3 THOUSAND years and NEED it to SURVIVE. What's next? Telling the Dominicans on their island that they shouldn't eat fish? Or that the Peruvians can't eat mountain goat meat?

    In your fucked up mind, these people should live their arctic lives as vegans, even though seal meat is chock full of the fat these people need to live in their tundra.

    Fuck you, you selfish prick.

    If she was a pitbull, she would be killed immediately. Why does she get a free pass to attack?

  • youngpro

    ...where is there a mention of animals in this article? way to twist it a bit, f-bomb.

  • inoyourider

    She's such a piece of shit.

  • LinkMan

    Looked more like a left jab than a right hook, no? Kinda hard to tell, though.

  • noir_et_blanc

    she is a real loose canon...

  • Spirit of 76

    I really, really hope that one day she'll hit somebody who isn't afraid to hit back. Even better if there's a camera around.

  • JRod5417

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, cocaine is a terrible drug.

    Seriously people... all you manage is to call her a bitch and a c*nt ?!? What is wrong with the people who read this blog. What a mean, nasty lot you all are. I am no fan of Naomi Campbell but somehow I doubt many of you are any better.

  • I think we do more than manage to call her a bitch. We have evidence supporting that her behavior--especially in this instance--defines those of a bitch. Let's not mince words: a woman who has lived her life in the lap of luxury because of her good looks and unjustifiably attacks a cameraman is a bitch in this instance.

    At least we understand that it's socially unacceptable to hit someone over words. Asking a relevent question isn't grounds for being attacked.

    It appears that the only way Naomi knows to deal with something she doesn't like it to physically attack it. The only reason she's not in jail is because of her 'celebrity' status and her ability to pay off the people she's wronged before the courts can rule against her.

  • I hope she suffers through old age like the people of the Sierra Leone suffered to get that bitch a free diamond.

  • theevilone

    She should only be a news item when she doesn't hit someone.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    She should hit herself for consenting to the interview. Why else would anyone interview her? Her career is dead.

  • dracula mountain

    she's not even that hot

  • moocowtoo

    Anger management class FAIL

  • Bubba

    Revoke her visa and deport this criminal.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    She doesn't care about hett african nations, she just suck on his wad for those conflict diamonds
