NAOMI’S LATEST VICTIM TELLS HER STORY: Ana Scolavino describes model as ‘the ugliest person I have met.’
*The latest victim of a Naomi Campbell beatdown is speaking out in detail about her alleged attack. In an exclusive interview with News of the World, former housekeeper Ana Scolavino described how her ex-boss would humiliate her and other staff members on a daily basis.
"She is so crazy you never know when she will hit out. Anything can send her into a frenzy," Scolavino tells the paper of her three months with the supermodel. "There is not a single nice bone in Naomi's body. She is a psychotic monster. On the catwalk she might look beautiful—but apart from her face in person she is the ugliest person I have met.”
Campbell was charged with assault in the alleged attack, which Scolavino says occurred after the runway diva accused her of stealing a pair of jeans. During Campbell’s June 27 court appearance in Manhattan, her lawyers said a plea deal was on the table. The judge agreed to adjourn the case until Sept. 27.
Meanwhile, Scolavino says she was hired in January to work as a maid in Campbell’s New York penthouse at a rate of about $17-an-hour. The following is Scolavino’s own account of what happened on that March day just before Campbell allegedly clocked her in the head with her diamond-encrusted Blackberry phone:
"Naomi came home from Europe raging about the state of the house and that there were clothes everywhere. But that was typical Naomi. One minute she'd shout at you, ‘Don't dare touch my f***ing clothes' then the next she was rampaging around screaming they'd not been put away.
"She pointed her finger in my face and told me I was ‘f***ing useless' and a ‘fuck*** thief' who had stolen her jeans. Her face was all contorted like a mad witch.
“Oprah Winfrey was due to come round and as ever Naomi was blaming everyone else for her inability to cope.
"I offered to help her find the jeans and tidy up but this just enraged her more. When I went upstairs to look for them she followed me, screaming: ‘What the f*** are you doing?' That was it for me. I turned round and in a calm voice told her I was quitting. She gave me this evil look I will never forget.
"My heart was pounding. I was terrified of what she was going to do next so I went to get down the stairs and out of there. The next thing, I felt a searing pain in my head. Then her silver mobile phone fell next to me on the floor. I don't know if Naomi had thrown it at me or come up behind me and hit me with it.
"I put my hand to my head and felt blood pouring out. I knew I had to get out before she went for me again. It was then she charged down and tried to stop me. She put her arms round me and screamed that I had to stay.
"I kept saying, ‘Get off, Naomi, I am leaving.' Not once did she attempt to get something to stop the bleeding. Then a male friend of hers who was in the house came over and told her to get off. He kept saying, ‘Oh my God, Naomi, what have you done?'
"I told her to get out of my way so I could go to hospital but she begged me to see her private doctor, obviously so no one could see what she had done. It was then I dashed out."
Colombian-born Scolavino, whose head wound required five stitches at a local hospital, says she had been a victim of Campbell’s bad temper from day one…literally.
Describing the morning after she was hired, Scolavino said: "I'd arrived at 7:45 a.m. and was in the kitchen when she woke and screamed, ‘Ana, where is my f***ing juice?' I had no idea what juice she was talking about so she stormed to the kitchen and told me every morning she would need me to mix the juice of two lemons, some paprika, cayenne pepper and water. It looked vile but apparently it helps keep you thin. She drank liters of the stuff and as far as I could see barely ate, which just made her even more irritable as she was starving all the time.
"There was always something which would set her off. If she was going away all her clothes had to be packed a certain way with tissue between each item. Once she screamed at another maid and sacked her after she put a pair of her jeans in the wrong case. We just spent our life walking on eggshells. In Naomi's world we were all, in her words, ‘f***ing useless'.".jpg)
