Just because she's a supermodel and an icon doesn't mean that Naomi Campbell doesn't experience racism.
In an interview with Paris Match, the 49-year-old just revealed that she was turned away from an event at Cannes this past spring.
Just because she's a supermodel and an icon doesn't mean that Naomi Campbell doesn't experience racism.
In an interview with Paris Match, the 49-year-old just revealed that she was turned away from an event at Cannes this past spring.
Sure, she's gorgeous and can slay a runway like it's no one's business.
While her controversial past certainly shed a spotlight on the model, there's so much more to her that we don't know.
Like how she's currently working on a show for Amazon, with Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn called Making the Cut.
"I had to take stock of my life... I did it," she told the site.
"The detox treatment program has been very effective and I am proud of it."
If you remember, the supermodel has always been infamously known for throwing a cell phone at her maid and assistant.
"We all have that in us."
"No. By the way, who said I would not be a mother someday?”
Ooo, there's hope!
"I was invited to participate in an event in a hotel whose name I will not mention," she told Paris Match.
"The guy at the entrance pretended that the place was full. But he let other people pass."
When speaking to the BBC in April, she opened up about the racism she experienced from an Asian county.
So not okay.
"I never believe in the hype, so it just kept things in perspective for me."
This icon is fighting hard for change since she didn't have much acceptance or diversity in modeling when she first began her career.
"Do not believe that it goes without saying. The challenge is permanent."
As she told Paris Match, "It is for these kinds of shocking moments that I will continue to express myself and make myself heard.”
