A photographer has alleged that he had to be hospitalized after supermodel Naomi Campbell attacked him while vacationing with her billionaire boyfriend in Italy last month.
Naomi, 38, had come to the volcanic island of Lipari, just off the coast of Sicily, with BF Mikhail Prokhorov. Paparazzo Gaetano Di Giovanni says he suffered a scratched eye and bruises after the volatile catwalk queen hit him with her handbag, The Daily Star reports.
“First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me,” the photog says.
“I managed to avoid her – but her nails still got my eye. For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear that her bodyguards and her boyfriend were trying to drag her away.”
Naomi’s spokeswoman said the accusations were “completely untrue.”

“You know, the American President may be black, but as a black woman, I am still an exception in this business,” Naomi says in the new issue of Glamour Magazine Germany.
The volatile supermodel, a longtime critic of racism in the fashion industry, says she has to work twice as hard to be treated equally on the catwalk because of the color of her skin.
“I always have to work harder to be treated equally. In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere.”
