Naomi Campbell's Blood Diamond Testimony Contradicted (Again)

• Carole White, Naomi Campbell's former agent, was questioned in the Charles Taylor war crimes trial yesterday, and further contradicted Naomi's testimony.

Ms. White told the court that Naomi Campbell and Charles Taylor were "flirting," and that Naomi was "very excited." Ms. White said: "She told me he was going to give her some diamonds." There seems to be some dispute over whether or not Ms. White actually heard Charles Taylor say that he was going to give Naomi Campbell, which has the court all pissy; here is video of Ms. White being mercilessly grilled. In any case, Ms. White says she and Naomi Campbell waited that night for the diamonds to arrive, and when they did, it was "a quite scruffy paper" with unpolished stones, "five or six, I believe." Oh! And this:

The stones were "quite disappointing" because they did not sparkle, Ms. White said. The men left and, discussing the gift, Ms. White and Ms. Campbell concluded that the diamonds were "not very impressive."
