Never afraid of speaking her mind, Naomi Campbell has accused the advertising business of using the recession as an excuse to drop black models.
The 39-year-old supermodel, who is a close friend of Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister’s wife, claims that major companies are refusing to use non-white women to promote their products.
“This year, we have gone back all the way that we had advanced,” she says. “I don’t see any black woman, or of any other race, in big advertising campaigns.”

B.S. Report–Maybe she’s right, I have no idea. But in my opinion, she has always come off as one of the most arrogant, self-centered models that I’ve heard speak. This cause may have merit, it’s not what I’m referring to.
I don’t understand why she’s always so angry. She seems so unappreciative of the enormous success and wealth that she has achieved simply because of her ability to look good in an outfit. She has not achieved anything based on her talent–she’s a beautiful woman. She’s basically a piece of art. To listen to her speak as if her life has been such a struggle is insulting to anyone that actually works for a living.
