Looks like Naomi Campbell won't be adding another offense to her rap sheet.
The chauffeur who claims the supermodel slapped and hit him (using her cell phone) during a Tuesday afternoon drive in Manhattan has decided not to press criminal charges, the Associated Press reports.
After consulting with the district attorney's office, police have filed a harassment report, which carries no penalty (no officers witnessed the alleged attack); no arrests are anticipated.
Still up in the air: whether the driver will sue the catwalker in a civil case.
"There shouldn't be a rush to judgment," her rep told UsMagazine.com Tuesday. "Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye."

As reported earlier, the driver claimed to police that Campbell, 39, assaulted him from the back seat of a luxury SUV; when he pulled over to call 911, she hopped out and ran away.
Police were "looking to speak" with Campbell about the incident; her assistant went to the station house to talk with officials on her behalf.
Fierce! Look back on Fashion Week 2010
The 27-year-old chauffeur was hired for the day to drive Campbell from her hotel to Astoria Studios (where many TV shows and movies are shot) in Queens, New York. The man told authorities that Campbell "hit him from behind and his head struck the steering wheel," the Associated Press says. He suffered bruising under his right eye.

It's not the first violent incident to which Campbell has been linked: over the years she has pled guilty, done community service and attended anger management classes for various scuffles with police officers, assistants and maids.
Tell Us What You Think
17that is becuase she is physco in the head and needs help real badly
she has mental problems so if she jsut seek god maybe she will be better
Plus, "Carl Hellen" is probably one of those emasculated men that let chicks get away with bad behavior and walk all over him.
I hate women that think it's alright to beat on men cause they can't "hit a girl" back or all hell will bust loose. I can assure you ladies that if you put your hands on me, I'd do it back to you and you'd never try it again. I hate how some women will avocate for females in the military but will be like "don't hit me I'm a girl!" Makes me sick. Plus, how is she a model? She's ugly and manly looking.
Carl Hellen: I don't know why you would defend her. Apparently, you are one of the idiots who think celebraties should be allowed to do whatever they want even if it is to abuse others. She has no right to hit anyone. The only way she will learn is to be forced to serve jail time and I don't mean in some protected area. She should be put in with the general population and they will take care of the rest.
The chauffeur is a rat and picking on an obviously easy victim like what about the fact he was threatening her with phoning the law she's obviously defenseless with out her security the chauffeur's job is to take you from point a to point b he took matters in his own hands and invaded her privacy i think he should be tarred and feathered and thrown out of traffic in a bad neighborhood while being threats of phoning the paparatsi are being made so that his picture ends up everywhere he broke client driver privilage and this is most horrific poor Naomi I would have come to her rescue on my Harly if Dan didnt have it in storage
Samantha your just as dumb as your idol Naomi her having good looks and nice legs doesn't mean her crazy a.s.s can go around hitting people shows how stupid you are sounds like too me your s.l.u.t.y a.s.s needs mental help to maybe you and Naomi can get amitted into the same loonie bin crazys !!!
If this b.i.t.c.h. had just one day in jail and slapped someone in there, I can guarantee that she would not come out looking like she did going in. And of course the driver got paid big bucks to drop charges against her. We all know if he did press charges, her ugly a.s.s. would be going to jail this time for sure. I agree with Lo. Revoke her visa and keep her butt ugly a.s.s. out of the US for good. We have alot of beautiful models here and don't need this has been piece of garbage here any more.
I agree with Ms. Anonymous. The chauffer has probably been paid off by Campbell or her billionaire boyfriend. To bad. As long as she keeps getting away with this violent behavior, she will not change.
Why the hell isn't he pressing charges. I can not wait for her to pull this nonsense with the wrong person. Then she'll get her just desserts.
REVOKE HER VISA AND PUT HER ON THE NO FLY LIST. HOW MANY TIMES DOES SHE GET TO ASSAULT AMERICANS AND GET AWAY WITH IT?
HEY B.I.T.C.H GET SOME MENTAL HELP YOU NEED IT BAD !
Wonder how much she paid him? She needs a little jail time to show her that she is not above the rest, then revoke her visa!
This crazy hefer will not learn unless she actually gets some jail time and not just a 4 hour stint. The driver should sue her because that sounds like the only way she will pay this time.
why is this gal still allowed in the United States??? it's quite obvious she has a serious mental illness and refuses to get treatment for it. She's a menace to society and contributes nothing for the greater good of Americans. revoke her Visa and send her back to Britain!
Naomi just needs the right employee to whup her azz; I think I might apply to work for her.
Is it just me, or has this crazy bird had some work done? Her face looks like Lil' Kim!
