Carol White on Naomi Campbell




Naomi used to call me mum and I sometimes felt like it. I think when everyone is telling you that you look fantastic, showering you with gifts and wanting to befriend you, your perception of life gets distorted. I often had to solve her problems and I learnt a lot about dealing with bad situations.

[...]

Christy and Naomi are very different characters. Christy was a dream, very professional and calm, whereas Naomi was less disciplined and used to get me into trouble. Mostly it was because she was late, but sometimes she just didn't turn up. I used to lie to her about what time she had to be at a job, but she soon worked that out, so I had to lie further. If the call time was 10am, I would tell her it was 8am so she would think it was 9am, but I still had to cross my fingers that she'd be on time. She missed planes too. Once after she missed a flight to Austria I had to organise a private jet to get her to the job because the money was so huge she had to be there.


Working with Naomi seems like a real treat.
