Introducing Saint Naomi
All those who have suffered, sometimes physically, at the hands of Naomi Campbell will no doubt take consolation (and, more importantly, find forgiveness in their hearts) at the news that the supermodel's violent tantrums have nothing to do with anger. She's not an angry person, you see; she's just frustrated that the fashion industry doesn't employ enough black models! "I'm not saying I've always used my frustration in the right way," she bravely admits in an interview. So when the maid in your Park Avenue apartment isn't doing her job properly, smacking her upside the head is not an effective way of combating racism and bringing about enlightenment?
Another area in which poor Naomi is horribly misunderstood: While you may be under the impression that she spends the majority of her time cavorting around in St. Tropez with rich men and attending parties in London and New York, in fact she's tirelessly saving the world with charity work. It's just that unlike that spotlight-hogger Angelina Jolie, she doesn't feel the need to get any credit for it.
"Sometimes [people] are like, oh, you need to get out there and do what Angelina Jolie's doing—and I'm like, I've been doing it, I just care to keep it more discreet. What she does is incredible but I choose to do it in my way."
Indeed, the only reason she still models at all is to "keep women of color out there." Nobel Peace Prize committee, please take note!
