Supermodel Naomi Campbell has claimed a "racial name" was the reason behind her recent air rage arrest.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has claimed a Naomi Campbell has again blamed racism for her recent air rage arrest. "I was called a racial name on that flight. And that was part of my reaction," Naomi told Sky News. "Again, nothing to do with the police but yes from British Airways. I was called a golliwog supermodel, I don’t think that’s really fair do you?' Would you like it if someone turned round and called you a golliwog supermodel? I mean I’m proud to be a black woman, I’m proud to be British, I’m proud of the job that I do but I did not call anyone names of colour, of their race. And, you know, I’ve had to leave all of that out of court and all of that out of statement because at the end of the day the real problem was, I took my upset and my, the end of my wrath came out on the police, which was wrong."
