Last Updated: Wednesday, 7 March 2007, 11:56 GMT Supermodel Naomi 'to mop floors' Naomi Campbell admitted to an assault charge last month British supermodel Naomi Campbell will be cleaning floors in a New York municipal warehouse this month as part of a five-day community service order. The cleaning is a punishment for Campbell throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper, court officials said.
She admitted reckless assault in a plea bargain with prosecutors at Manhattan Criminal Court last month.
As well as community service, the 36-year-old was also ordered to attend an anger management course.
Fourth complaint
Campbell has apologised for assaulting her maid - the fourth such complaint against her - and agreed to take the course.
CELEBRITIES IN TROUBLE Music producer Phil Spector goes on trial this month accused of killing actress Lana Clarkson in his home in 2003 Actor Robert Blake this month appealed against a wrongful death verdict over the shooting of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley. Mr Blake was cleared of murder but found responsible for the death in a civil case Ryan O'Neal was arrested last month on suspicion of assaulting his son with a deadly weapon at the veteran actor's Malibu home Actor Mel Gibson was ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous last August for drink-driving. He allegedly made anti-Semitic comments on arrest
Her spokesman said she was ready to report and complete her community service no matter what or where it was.
The BBC's James Westhead in Washington says Naomi Campbell may be one of the most famous women in the world but she is about to get a taste of how the other half live.
Her punishment will involve cleaning the floors of a sanitation building, starting later this month.
Last August, pop star Boy George spent five days sweeping streets in New York as part of a community service order for wasting police time.
The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, falsely reported a burglary in his Little Italy apartment.
Boy George said he "quite enjoyed" the sweeping. "I was treated really nicely, it was worth it."

The glitz and glam has elevated her to another level... it is her right to treat people that work for her like crap. I really don't think she means it. I guess this is not really about rehabilitation mop floors for 5 days... anger management classes... whatever.

I think this experience will humble her tremendously. HUMBLE? She is mad that the end to her hype is coming to a end. She is an attractive woman. but her issue is, she never had any boundary's, except hers!!!. It would not surprise me, if after a meaningful relationship, were she is dump!!! she offs herself. people like her, can never adapt to the mundane.

I really don't think that 5 days will put her in perspective. She's been to anger management classes before, she knows the drill. This has been an issue for a long time with her and she hasn't seriously climbed down from her perch yet. I see her playing to the cameras and saying positive stuff, who doesn't skin and grin for the camera? She's got to lose her MONEY or her HEALTH and be dependent upon someone before she understands. Her friends help her? What friends? When the money flows people flow when it stops they stop. As long as she's got the penthouse to go home to she will continue to act like a knucklehead. That is a shame... a sista acting like that. Damm hired help are people too.

Sweetpie, no one has the right to treat his/employees like crap.
Off topic, I don't understand the justice system. I don't like how someone could be found not guilty of murder in criminal court, but can be found liable in a wrongful death suit in civil court. That's a bunch of BS to me.

Ya know I don't I get that whole thing either. How can one be responsible if it was determined that he/she weren't the one that caused the death. Unless the person conspired with someone else in some way, but the fact remains of the actual guilty party which no one has turned up yet to be charged and tried. I guess one is guilty because they LET the person be killed?
