Ex-maid settles with Naomi Campbell

FASHION - Supermodel Naomi Campbell has ended her legal tussle with a former maid Gaby Gibson who accused the supermodel of hitting her and calling her names. Gaby Gibson worked for Campbell from November 2005 through January 2006.

Terms of the settlement are confidential, but a lawyer for the 38-year-old Naomi Campbell says both sides are pleased with the outcome.

Gibson claimed in her lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, that the British fashion model and catwalk star also threatened her after being unable to find a pair of designer jeans.

Naomi Campbell then attacked the maid and threw her cellphone at her.

Campbell has a notoriously bad reputation for losing her temper and attacking them with small hard objects.

In 2005 Naomi Campbell attacked a personal assistant with a Blackberry, a charge to which she pleaded guilty and settled out of court.
