Naomi Campbell has admitted she did assault her former maid during an argument last March - but that it wasn’t intentional.

Naomi told Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday: “I threw a cell phone in the apartment. The cell phone hit Ana [Scolavino]. This was an accident because I did not intend to hit her.”

A part of her guilty plea bargain Naomi will serve five days of community service to be carried out at some point over the next four months and pay for Ana’s medical expenses from the incident (around $400).

Naomi later issued a statement insisting: “I’m not going to let this incident define me. The past is the past.”

Earlier this week it was revealed that Naomi has left her manager of 15 years in order to “start afresh in 2007″.
