built 606 days ago
More recently, Naomi has been in the headlines not only for her modelling and her romantic liaisons, but for her legal battles. Although she admitted that the Daily Mirror was right to say that she had long battled with drug addiction and was attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings, she objected to the intrusive nature of the coverage, claiming that it interfered with her right to privacy. After a lengthy series of legal wrangles that went all the way to the House of Lords, the courts eventually ruled in her favour and she won what was seen as a significant victory for privacy-seeking celebrities everywhere.

Campbell would branch out into the music business with the release of her album Babywoman in 1995, and gained much attention in Japan over her hit single on the album. In 1996, she was featured in Tony Hickox's Invasion of Privacy, and in 1997, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, starring Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jackie Chan. In addition, her media credits were rounded off by two books: the best-seller Swan, co-written by Campbell, and Naomi, a collection of photographs spanning the length of the model's career. ~ Sarah Sloboda, All Movie Guide

Naomi's proceeds were donated to the Red Cross, for use in Somalia relief efforts.
