Short-fused supermodel Naomi Campbell has been charged by New York cops for striking her housekeeper in the head with her mobile phone.
Naomi could be jailed for up to seven years after being charging with second degree assault, after hurling her phone at Ana Scolavino at her Park Avenue home.
Ana was left with a gash on the back of her head that needed four stitches.
"We believe this is a case of retaliation because Naomi had fired her housekeeper earlier this morning" Naomi’s agent, Amanda Silverman, says.
Naomi’s lawyer, David Breitbart, has claimed the maid's injury was self-inflicted.
"We're going to find out what more we can about who the accuser is, which is a very very important question, who the accuser is and why is she accusing Naomi Campbell,” he added.
"Is it because she is an affluent star of enormous proportions, if she had been fired from another job, would she be bringing these outrageous cases?"
Naomi will return to court on June 27th.
