Naomi Campbell fails to show up in court
Supermodel Naomi Campbell could face arrest after failing to show up in court to face charges of attacking her housekeeper.
Judge James Gibbons of the Manhattan Criminal Court said: "She is absolutely obligated to appear at the next court date or the law will go into effect. A bench warrant will be issued."
The 36-year-old model faces charges of second-degree assault after she was accused of throwing a telephone at her housekeeper, Ana Scolovino, and hitting her on the head.
The supermodel's lawyer David Breitbart said in court: "The press is all over this girl. There are over 100 cameramen outside this courthouse." The judge replied: "They have a right to be here."
The case was adjourned until 15 November when Ms Campbell must appear before the court.
