Naomi Campbell Released on Bail

LONDON (April 4) - Supermodel Naomi Campbell was released on bail pending investigation into a disturbance on a plane at Heathrow's new Terminal 5, police sources said on Friday.

The 37-year-old was escorted off a U.S.-bound flight on Thursday after police were called. She was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, and later released to return on bail in late May.

"She was released on bail shortly after midnight, and is due to return on bail," Scotland Yard said in a statement.

Campbell was on a British Airways flight due to depart for Los Angeles when the disturbance occurred.

Her spokeswoman said that one of two bags she had checked in had gone missing.

"BA decided to resolve this by insisting she leave the flight and then called the police to forcibly eject her from the flight," the spokeswoman said.

"She was taken to the Heathrow Police Station and released on police bail. So far as we are aware BA have still failed to offer any explanation as to why her bag went missing at Terminal 5."

BA has been beset by problems with the high-tech check-in and baggage handling systems at the new $8.6 billion terminal.

Hundreds of flights have been canceled and tens of thousands of bags have gone missing, costing the airline about $32 million since the terminal's opening last month.

It is not the first time Campbell has been in trouble with the law.

She spent five days mopping floors as part of a community service sentence in New York last year after throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper during an argument over a pair of jeans.

She was also ordered to attend anger management classes.

Yet another example of an attention deprived Ni@@er acting like a 2 year old child. Nice that 9/11 happened as it let them walk her Black ass off the plane and straight into the clink.

Between her and that other one on TV they really think they are hot. But this thing goes around hitting people and cops. She belongs in jail and not in some fancy place seperated from the other prisoners. They may show her what it is like to get beat up , she has assaulted how many people now? Maybe a lock up in a mental hospital for criminally insane fro a while as she has some bad anger issues and ego issues.
Why is she allowed to batter people and not go to jail. If I hit you I would go to jail so why not her?

Bags go missing all the time. Just because she is Naomi Campbell it doesn't mean that she is immune to what normal people have to deal with on a daily basis. Two year olds through temper tantrums, not 37 year old women. She needs to grow up and stop acting like the world owes her something. In addition, maybe people in the fashion industry should put her in her place by refusing to use her. The fashion industry has tried to stop using models that are too skinny, why not stop using models like her that think their crap smells like roses.
