Naomi Campbell may be in trouble with the law again.
Manhattan police were looking for the supermodel following a violent incident with her limo driver on Tuesday afternoon.

According to an NBC New York report, Campbell, 39, became enraged with her chaffeur and -- from the back seat -- slapped and punched him as he drove. And, yes, Campbell allegedly struck her driver with her cell phone, he told authorities.
Remember these celebrity outbursts?
The driver eventually stopped the car on the Upper East Side to call 911; that's when Campbell jumped out of the car and ran. Cops are presently "looking to speak to her," the report says.
Early Tuesday evening, a rep for Campbell told UsMagazine.com:
"There shouldn't be a rush to judgment. Naomi will co-operate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye."

Nevertheless, the fashionista has developed something of a rap sheet for her outbursts. In 2008 she pled guilty to attacking two police officera at London's Heathrow Airport; a year earlier, she was sentenced to community service for throwing a phone at a maid; in 2005, an assistant accused her of slapping her and beating her with a Blackberry. In 2000, she pled guilty to a 1998 case involving an old assistant -- who claimed Campbell assaulted her with a telephone and threatened to throw her out of a moving car.

74Geez what's the matter with this girl ??! She needs to get the anger management rehab
Yo mama - not offended - I've been on messageboards for too long seeing ignorant posts such as yours; I'm sure you'll be on Jerry Springer soon enough.
LyricsRme1...Let me guess, your black huuu? And I offended you? Well go talk to the rest of "yo people" and tell them to get off welfare, stop having so many kids by so many diff men, comb their nappy hair and stop being so darn black and ridiculous. MMMMKK!!!!
Jail time. She's hitting someone who's driving a moving vehicle. She's a danger and I find it utter nonsense that she's not been jailed before now or met the wrong person to punch around. Jail her.
Sounds like she needs one good beat down to understand she shouldn't hit folks. If she tried hitting me, it would be case closed, model down!
This woman is a joke and nothing but TRASH! go back to the ghetto Naomi... you are a has-been and not amount of tantrums are bringing you back from the depths of the hole you have dug for yourself. NO ONE OWES YOU A THING little girl. Get over yourself!
Those anger management classes really worked, didn't they? NOT!! Some people never learn--this chick needs to be thrown in jail for a couple years and get beat on by the other inmates, just like she beats on other people. She needs some humility, that's for sure.
New York police are having trouble finding her??????? Give me a break. This chick needs to be sent away for a while. Amazing what you get away with if you are some tramp walking on a runway.
Seems to me like somebody needs a little time out; possibly some jail time, as this woman has serious anger management issues. Oh and BTW yo mamma, let me correct you by saying not all black women (or women period) behave this way, but then what can can one expect from someone with a screen name like yours.
Not surprising at all to hear!
She's an arrogant "B" that needs to face jail time, no more Fur coat cleaning community service!!!
If this was a male celebrity or famous male model they would NEVER have gotten away with these attacks on people over and over again.Such a double standard in this situation. This women obviously has not learned a darn thing and hopefully will get some kind of a punishment that makes her wake up.!!
Why the heck is is abusing people with a phone? Weird...
Jeez, this girl needs to be put in jail and stay there!! Just about everyone pisses her off! And take away her cell phone for goodness sake...it's a weapon isn't it?!?!
She should be severely disciplined as this is again another incident to add to many. She shoudl do jail for assault.
This chick thinks she is a real bad a$$. Hopefully somebody will knock out her teeth one day and she will be picking them up off the floor. What an immature, narcissistic little baby this "woman" is. Whenever she does not get her way she beats up people. I don't know why she is a model anyway, she is as ugly as he$$.
Typical black woman. Moronic,ugly, dramatic and stupid.
This ugly beoch needs to be thrown in jail where she can get a real a$$ whipping. Such an ungrateful hoe. I hope the driver sues her a$$ off.
She's gonna put her hands on the wrong person and will feel what its like to be on the receiving end of it. I'd love it if she tried to beat me down with a Blackberry...she'd never want to own a cellphone again after I was done with her...stupid diva with anger management issues!
to lynn: girl are u stupid listen u duba$$ get a life u racist b1tch hopefully alot of mexicans beat ur a$$ one day
