Naomi Campbell allegedly attacked photographer Gaetano Di Giovanni, on Lipari Island, north of Sicily.
According to documents filed, Campbell assaulted the photographer with her handbag, inflicting scratches and bruises, while the star was in the company of her boyfriend, Mikhail Prokhorov.
The photographer told the Italian newspaper Repubblica about the incident, "First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me. I managed to avoid her – but her nails still got my eye." He added, "For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear that her bodyguards and her boyfriend were trying to drag her away."
This is not the first time the top model has had an incident with photographers. The court already sentenced her in the past for that type of offence, forcing her into therapy to manage her anger.
However, Campbell’s representative claim that the accusations are completely false.
