Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been prohibited from serving as a trustee for charities in England and Wales due to her reputation for being involved in violent and abusive acts. The decision was made by the High Court in London, who ruled that Campbell’s history of violent behavior made her unfit to hold such a position.
Campbell, who has used her fame and fortune to support various charitable causes over the years, had applied to become a trustee for a women’s charity in England. However, her application was rejected by the Charity Commission, which raised concerns about her past behavior. The commission cited several incidents where Campbell was accused of assaulting employees, throwing phones at her assistants, and causing physical harm to others.
The High Court’s ruling upholds the Charity Commission’s decision and bars Campbell from serving as a trustee for charities in England and Wales. The court stated that Campbell’s behavior, which has been widely reported in the media, presents a risk to the charities she would represent and could damage their reputation.
Campbell has not publicly commented on the ruling, but her representatives have stated that she will abide by the decision of the court. The supermodel has faced legal troubles in the past, including a 2000 conviction for assaulting a former assistant and a 2008 guilty plea for assaulting two police officers at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Despite her charitable efforts, Campbell’s history of violence has overshadowed her philanthropic work and raised concerns about her suitability to hold positions of trust and responsibility. The ruling serves as a reminder that actions have consequences, and individuals with a history of violent behavior may not be suitable for certain roles within the charitable sector.
