Naomi Campbell is not a very good person

She did it. She really actually lied in a way that benefits Charles Taylor.

 

Here are some excerpts from the BBC story:

Supermodel Campbell defends war crime trial testimony
 

 Naomi Campbell has said she had "nothing to gain" from lying at the war crimes trial of ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor.

It is alleged Ms Campbell received "blood diamonds" from Mr Taylor after a dinner in South Africa in 1997.

 

In her evidence, London-born Ms Campbell, 40, said she was woken by two strangers in the middle of the night, and given a pouch containing a few "dirty-looking stones".

She put it by her bed and did not examine it until she woke the next morning, she said, and explained she was not accustomed to receiving diamonds in a cloth pouch, only in a box.

But the court has heard conflicting evidence since from fellow guests - her former agent Carole White and the actress Mia Farrow - about the gift and its origin.

 Mia Farrow testified that Naomi exclaimed the morning after the incident, "Oh, my God, last night I was awakened by men knocking at the door and it was men sent by Charles Taylor and he sent me a huge diamond."

*In June 2008, she pleaded guilty to cursing, kicking and spitting at police at London's Heathrow airport in a rage over a missing piece of luggage, and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service.

Campbell also did a week of community service scrubbing toilets in a Manhattan garbage-truck depot after pleading guilty in 2007 to misdemeanor assault for hurling a cell phone at her maid. That followed a 2000 guilty plea to assault for hitting an assistant on the head with a phone in Toronto.

A few of Campbell's former aides and maids have sued her, accusing her of violent outbursts. Some cases have been settled on undisclosed terms.
