Naomi Campbell last night blamed racism for her outburst on a British Airways jet, claiming she had been called 'a golliwog supermodel'.

In an interview with Sky News, Miss Campbell said she was not going to apologise to BA as they were "disgusting."

'I was called a golliwog supermodel, I don’t think that’s really fair do you?'

The supermodel did not say exactly who had called her the name only that it was not one of the passengers.

When asked who called her the name, she replied: 'Someone on the flight, not the passenger.'

She added:'Would you like it if someone turned round and called you a golliwog supermodel?

'I mean I’m proud to be a black woman, I’m proud to be British, I’m proud of the job that I do but I did not call anyone names of colour, of their race.

'And, you know, I’ve had to leave all of that out of court and all of that out of statement because at the end of the day the real problem was, I took my upset and my, the end of my wrath came out on the police, which was wrong.'

Miss Campbell avoided jail yesterday despite admitting kicking, hitting and spitting at police officers on board the jet at Heathrow.

Extraordinary details of the supermodel's vicious assault on two officers emerged in court as she was sentenced to a 200 hour unpaid community service order.

Magistrates told the model that the community service was part of a 12-month order. They also ordered her to pay compensation of £200 each to the two police officers she assaulted, and £150 compensation to the aircraft captain, Miles Sutherland.

Advertisers and any others using her “modeling” to sell their products or services will receive negative results.

The shortened form, “wog” is somewhat equivalent to our “n-word”....

Technically speaking,it means "Western Oriented Gentleman".

The wogs start at Calais.

"...The supermodel did not say exactly who had called her the name only that it was not one of the passengers..."

BS, she is simply out of control.

The Golliwogs was an American rock band which eventually became Creedence Clearwater Revival. Wonder what she'd think of this.

Thanks for the education.

I looked the word up:

gol·li·wog or gol·li·wogg (gŏl'ē-wŏg')
pronunciation
n.

A doll fashioned in grotesque caricature of a Black male.

[After Golliwog, a character in books by Florence Upton (died
1922), American illustrator.]

I could see her getting angry, but not violent, hell she could have had whoever said it up on charges over there.

I lived in London during the great golliwog controversy :)

I have read that she can be a little bit “difficult”.

Sit down and shut up!

[PapaBear3625]

with that kind of $$$ you can just tell the "racist" individual in question...."my friend,I could buy and sell you.....10,000 times over".

And she could also add: "my friend, think carefully about what would happen if my black friends were told your name and address, along with what you said"

I’m soooo sick of these attention craving primapollywogs.
