Campbell's Rap Sheet Mmm, Mmm Good

Naomi Campbell's long-pending legal battle with an embittered, and allegedly beaten, ex-maid has finally been swept under the rug.
The assault-prone supermodel has settled her lawsuit with her former Romanian housekeeper, Gaby Gibson. Gibson claimed she was subjected to discrimination from Campbell—or, in Gibson's words, being a "violent super-bigot"—and smacked by the catwalker over a missing pair of designer jeans.
While the 38-year-old model has repeatedly denied the claims, her attorney said she had reached an undisclosed settlement with Gibson and that both sides were pleased with the outcome.
Gibson, who worked for Campbell for three presumably interminable months in 2005, filed two suits against her ex-boss in 2006.
The first alleged employment discrimination, civil assault and battery and personal injury, while the second, filed a few months later, added verbal abuse and defamation to her list of grievances.
The first suit was ultimately dismissed after Gibson's lawyer missed a deadline to file paperwork.
