Naomi Campbell Gives Oprah A Tour Of Her Closet
LatestWhat’s Naomi going to talk about on Oprah today? Apparently, her closet, her love of ballet, and her habit of throwing phones at the little people in her life. Oh, and the small matter of that blood diamond.
But first, the closet! This one is in Moscow, of course. As she rifles through a shelf laden with jeans, she says, “Oh, jeans. You should always have jeans.” (That love of denim has gotten her in trouble in the past.)
Back to that blood diamond — she denies any wrongdoing. Mia Farrow said recently that the supermodel told her she received a large blood diamond from warlord Charles Taylor‘s men after a dinner in 1997; Taylor is currently on trial for war crimes in the Hague, and prosecutors are trying to establish the former Liberian president’s links to the diamond trade in order to show that he used conflict diamonds to finance a Sierra Leone rebel group. Farrow’s account was not entered into evidence in court, because it was ruled to be hearsay. Campbell has allegedly refused to testify, and when ABC brought up the allegations during a pre-arranged interview, the supermodel refused to be drawn on the question of whether or not she took a diamond from Charles Taylor. Then she got up to leave, and for good measure, pushed the camera that had been filming her.
