SEPTEMBER 26--The way Naomi Campbell sees it, 'everybody is being bad to' fellow supermodel Kate Moss, whose cocaine use was recently exposed by a British newspaper. During a press conference yesterday in, of all places, Bogota, Colombia, Campbell remarked that coverage of her friend's partying--which has triggered a U.K. police probe--smacked of a 'vendetta' on the part of the Daily Mirror and others. Campbell's beef, of course, dates back to her own legal tangle with the tabloid, which printed photographs of the volatile model departing a 2001 Narcotics Anonymous meeting. The 35-year-old Campbell countered by suing the Mirror in London's High Court, claiming that her privacy had been invaded by the publication of the images. As part of that legal action, Campbell filed a detailed witness statement--a copy of which you'll find below--that, while acknowledging her drug abuse, claimed that the Mirror's actions 'made it more difficult for me to get the assistance that I need.' Campbell was eventually awarded about $6000 in damages. That decision was first overturned on appeal, but later reinstated by a higher court, prompting Mirror editor Piers Morgan to note, 'This is a very good day for lying drug-abusing prima donnas who want to have their cake with the media, and the right to then shamelessly guzzle it with their Cristal champagne.'
