Naomi Campbell Arrested At Heathrow For Assaulting An Officer

LONDON — Naomi Campbell was arrested at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 on Thursday for allegedly spitting at a police officer, Sky News reported.

Police said a 37-year-old woman was arrested at the terminal on suspicion of assaulting police. The Metropolitan Police spokesman refused to identify the woman, or say whether the incident took place inside the terminal or aboard a plane. He spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with police policy.

BAA PLC, the company that runs Heathrow, didn't immediately return calls seeking comment. British Airways PLC, the terminal's sole occupant, referred questions to BAA and London police.

Campbell's publicist in Los Angeles, Jeff Raymond, wrote in an e-mail that Campbell was flying to Los Angeles for a Thursday memorial service. He said she checked two bags in at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 with plenty of time to spare and was told they would make the flight. He said once on the plane, however, Campbell was told one of her bags was missing.

Raymond said British Airways decided to resolve the situation by insisting Campbell leave the flight, and then called police to forcibly eject her from the airplane.

"So far as we are aware B.A. have still failed to offer any explanation as to why her bag went missing at Terminal 5," Raymond wrote.

In January 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty in New York City to misdemeanor assault for throwing her cell phone at her maid in a dispute over a missing pair of jeans. She was ordered to do community service and attend a two-day anger-management program.

Campbell pleaded guilty in Toronto in 2000 to an assault charge for beating an assistant while making a film in Canada in 1998. Under an agreement with prosecutors, Campbell expressed remorse and was released without punishment or a criminal record.

this chick is suck a loser. A billion chinese don't give a rat's a** what she does. Why is this even reported. Throw her in the joint and lets move on

[NyPrincess]

She needs some serious anger management classes.

[ylpatriot]

Ummmm I think she needs a huge dose in manners, how to behave in public and how to be classy .... ya think ?

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

In one of Clint Eastwood's oldies, High Plains Drifter or Hang 'Em High, I believe, Clint had a great idea about how to teach manners. This bimbo needs to be dragged into a barn...

(Sorry, not in a PC mood today.)

[conscioushope]

Yes, she needs help.

Something deeply disturbing and/or painful could be buried beneath the surface. It's outward manifestation is outrageous anger outbursts.

Until she deals with her anger, it will perhaps continue to control her life.

[WomanInOrangeSweater]

I wish that instead of the "news" media reporting breathlessly in banner headlines everytime a "celeb" sneezes (or spits, or screams...­), they'd run a headline on what some brave young American is doing in Iraq.

Switch over to Politics and Home Page @ Huffington Post. Surely, you know how to click to Home Page. I post from Home, to Politics to Living and Entertainment.

We need a break from all the bad news in Iraq. Now leave us alone. Shoo !

[WomanInOrangeSweater]

Hey, did you hear about Katie Holme's haircut?
Enjoy that permanent break you're taking. And check out TMZ. You'll like it.

[scorpioleidy]

Boy, she's nasty---spitting on people is NASTY, Naomi!!!

[JohnFromCensornati]

Yeah, she should have throw a cell phone instead!

[scorpioleidy]

Isn't this a parole violation of some sort????
Will this chick ever learn her lesson????? Who does she think she is to go around assaulting people, anyways!

[ritenow]

It's all that dieting. The girl needs to get a two-piece and a biscuit...­oh,
and perhaps a personality transplant.

[bar1ed]

just another example of the elite having different rules than the masses. she'll most likely get a slap on the wrist, and off she'll go to spit in some-else's face !

[ylpatriot]

she will not be touched they will be afraid of the "race"card.

[sarasotajeff]

oh please

[Paralogos]

Given the nightmare that Heathrow T5 apparently has turned out to be, I'm not surprised that people have started snapping. "Sorry Ms. Campbell, but your baggage with its irreplacable designer clothing has been lost along with the other 20000 bags we've lost today. We believe it's probably on its way to Italy, where we hope to have it sorted by mafia contractors and delivered to you within a fortnight.­.."

[Duncan77]

Ah, T5. It makes me proud to be British. I am sure the major engineering works need for the 2012 Olympics will be just fine, just look at how well we did with the millennium dome and the new wembley stadium.

[KPinSEA]

Exactly ... I'm forwarding this story to a co-worker who lost 3 pieces of luggage at T5 on Monday en route to Rome .... which he still doesn't have, putting a big crimp in his family's Italian vacation.

We all understand airport rage but .... Ms. Campbell has issues.

[chin075]

I hope this idiot fades into obscurity. Apparently she's way too self-important and retarded to act like a mature human being, like, ever.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Criminee..­. that's the third time this week!

[Whitehouse]

I'm sure it was the airline or security agent's fault. It's a shame they can't treat this lady properly.

[fetchezlavache]

She's no lady. She has a long record of assaulting her assistants, service personnel, etc. She's a big ego with no empathy and no anger management.

[unclesmedley]

Proper treatment should include a pessary, a paddle and that fat guy from the Borat movie..

[ming099]

..........­....MONEY+­FAME= IDIOCY

[RodgerLodger]

No money + no fame = jealousy.

[ming099]

..nope....­no jealousy here.....d­amn glad to NOT be living in the goldfish bowl......

[BPCentrisAmerican]

She can abuse me any time.

[LeftCoastLefthandedLefty]

Agree. She's just crazy enough to still be extremely hot!!!

[TheWesternBreed]

Didn't she just do community service in NYC last year for battery on some employee? I hope the British cousins give her a year behind bars this time around.

[GodisHateSpeech]

Naomi behind bars with lots of other women... mmm yummy.

[nycw49]

Why is she so relevant these days? She's so 1990's.
Lets move on.

[shockjock]

just like The Clinton's - so 90's - let's move on!
