Naomi CampbellNaomi Campbell has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting her assistant.

The assistant needed four stitches in her head after being hit with a mobile phone during a fight at Naomi’s Manhattan home.

Naomi’s spokesperson has suggested the charge is merely an attempt at “retaliation” after the assistant was fired by Campbell and they are “confident” the courts will see it that way too.

A New York Police Department spokesperson has confirmed that Naomi has been charged with a felony and that she will have to appear before a judge. If found guilty, she could face up to a year in prison.
