Are you one of those atheistic humanist Antichrist racist that believes black people should be wiped off the face of the Earth. Are you one of those Antichrist atheistic humanist who tried to mix the facts Evolution like organisms change with mythology that we have different races because some Africans left Africa went to Europe went to Asia and eventually The offspring evolved into different races because when rhyme at the reasons like whether diet and natural selection. Therefore you believe African people adjust less evolved therefore there's no logical reason to allow black people to continue to exists. You do realize that excuse the racist eugenics doesn't hold water. 41 even if it was true it doesn't give you the right to take the life of black people. For two it's been debunked we know why we have different races and it's not because of environment the reasons like weather diet and natural selection. We have different races because we have different admixtures. So no black people are not less evolved human beings as the Antichrist atheistic humanists left push. I know that's why you racist push the idea that black people don't have the same capability of getting ID because they're less evolved but that only exists in your racist minds it's simply doesn't exist in physical reality. Black people are just as capable of getting ID as anybody else.

Naomi should not have resorted to physical violence, and her temper was bad, admittedly. But let’s not pretend these people were innocent service people. These were people who stolen items from her, attempted to blackmail or extort her, and or tried to traffic information about her to tabloids. Due to her family circumstances, Naomi did not have people in her inner circle who she could transition into roles on her staff. She basically had strangers working for her who the agencies had assigned. No loyalty. Also, people resent taking orders from a black girl, so running your ship is complicated further by that fact. I’m not saying she ever should’ve hit them, but what I am saying is that some of these people had nefarious intentions from the get-go, and others, who knew of her temper, would purposely insight things in order to get a payday or to be able to run to the tabloids and get a payday there as well. She wasn’t just being nasty to ppl like waiters and baggage handlers for the hell of it. This wasn’t that. This was to people who were assigned to take care of her personhood, and did terrible things to her behind-the-scenes. She was justifiably angry. But her anger issues led to violence, which was not acceptable, and she has taken responsibility for that, gone to counseling, and been made accountable in the court of law. There is nothing else to settle regarding these matters from 25+ years ago. This is a closed subject.

Some girls were the only hope for raising their families out of poverty and felt they had no choice. Some parents looked the other way or admonished them to play the required role. From the wealthy homeowner in the Hamptons loaning his mansion for a photoshoot and in return gaining access to the nubile young thing fresh off the proverbial boat for a "walk" at 2am, she was 14 and at 20 I was the chaperone and I refused to let her go to the photographer who felt you could only look sexy for the camera after actual sex. The industry prefers them young and bend over backwards to convince parents that all the required precautions will be in place and also the Easter Bunny is real. I was already old when I started at 19 and had my own mind so I was not ideal:) No excuses for her bad behavior and even worst decisions because at some point you have to take ownership but it is sometimes difficult to see consequences when you have seen none for monsters and you are told that your face, your body that you are a commodity.

She was a victim. I believe her mother was an escort which is why I believe for a long time she resented her for that. But outside of the modeling and trafficking scandals I think she is also intel. Much deeper.

I would also like to add that it was and is very common in the Jamaican culture to send your children off to live with family. My mother was from Jamaica and all of her brothers and sisters went to live with different relatives. I don’t know at what age . But I know a few other Jamaican families that did that or it happened to them. A Jamaican guy at my work has several children living with different family members. He says it’s normal.

[@DivineGoddessHealing-hj8xr]

Yes, it is. My family is Jamaican. My mother sent me and my siblings to Jamaica to live with my grandmother while she was studying in the UK

I had the opportunity to dress Naomi Campbell a few times (Bill Blass & Donna Karan) at the tents during the years I worked with the Ground Crew. She was very sweet and respectful. There were other models who weren’t as gracious. This is understandable when you have many hands touching your face, body, being told to put this on, take that off - it’s a lot for anyone going through the process of being fashioned. Take into consideration, these are very young women during the height of their modeling careers. I’ve literally had model say, “don’t touch me”, after being poked and prodded time after time during the course of fashion week. To honor this request would have been extremely difficult, since the clothes must hit the runway, and they are being paid to model them. And never underestimate she is a black girl in this billion-dollar game. Put all of this on top of all their personal issues. I like her a great deal for her humble sense of being.

[@PhilosopherFromMontreal]

You mean a black woman, not a black girl.

[@desirelavie]

With all due respect and to keep it short, most of gen x were raised with very little parental interaction, protection and guidance. Most of us roamed the streets during the daylight hours and watched a lot of tv. We didn’t have rights (women and children)and there was no such thing as PC. So most of us didn’t / couldn’t question the norm regardless of how wrong it was in today’s standards. So as we age age and discover that the things we’re taught aren’t unhealthy or are toxic, some of us are making efforts to correct and reprogram our brains. That’s not easy. So Naomi, like most of us , found her coping mechanisms….. She is on her own journey of self discovery and it’s not our duty to police her or her mother or any one else , for that matter. And I speak German, and in Germany they would say Epstein the way you say it. Thank you

[@lisaj4441]

So true about those of us who are Gen X. We were on our own and became resilient. We all feel that it is best to "suck it up and move forward." We can be hard and cold - but it was essential for our survival. As grown middle-aged women, we are coming to terms with our "stuff" - but NOT to the point of being weak whiners. LOL.

[@Ishtarthemoon]

she did a lot of good work for diversity in the industry. as a model, i saw a noticeable difference after her, tyra and bethan got together and called out the industry for their all-white runways. It was pretty bad back then in the 2010s but is much better now and in no small part thanks to her.

I follow her and her skin care and vitamin regime and intermittent fasting is a wellness and anti-aging game changer! So, sad she stopped her KZbin channel just before her baby came. You will find her skin and vitamin regimen on there…and I am a disabled war veteran age 55. Yes she has had her share of issues and serious problems, but when has it ever been easy for a black woman to dominate an industry that caters anyone but people who look like Naomi! It’s not excusable her behaviors over the years but remember she’s black and STILL relevant because she had to be tough and smart as well and maybe ruthless at times.

[@keegankeepgoing]

💜 i admired Naomi throughout my teens and early twenties. i would stay up late, watching vh1, hoping they would play George Michael's 'Freedom' so I could see her (Linda, Christy and Cindy). i really wanted to be like Naomi. when the controversies kept coming i felt that i was disillusioned - but that changed at some point and I continue to admire her spirit, absolute feminine energy, strength and longevity. I hope parenthood brings Naomi joy and helps heal or nurture old wounds. She really solidified a feminine aesthetic in me that I hold dear.

[@bentleyf9625]

I understand that she was thrown into this at such a young age which I agree she deserves empathy and compassion for, however, there comes a time when you need to grow up and take responsibility for your actions. Yes I am sure it was extremely tough navigating this world as a young kid, but that does not excuse all of her wrongdoings throughout her adult life.

No, she's an easy target and there's a difference. She has notoriously bad temper and is very spoiled. Her story is not the cent worth violin song told, her mother was very well connected even today, look who she married. She grew up with no limits and has obvious anger issues and they just helped her be her. While the behavior of some towards her was bad, her reaction has always been disproportionately over the top. In short, she's an unpleasant human being who happens to be magnetic in front of cameras and walking. And this is coming from someone who is a fan, but I'm objective, would anyone with a healthy self esteem want to deal with her in person?

Another great and thought provoking profile of a fascinating and enigmatic woman! You always do an amazing job. I think to reach the pinnacle of success in the fashion and modeling industry you’re going to be victimized and you’re also going to have to turn a blind eye to others being victimized at the very least. Whether or not she was participating in abuse we may never know, but having knowledge and not speaking up makes one complicit. To speak up and expose these abusers would cost her her career and everything she’s worked for her entire life. What a tortured existence. I agree that grace should be given to some extent and judgement should be reserved because there is so much that we don’t know.

[@nolamonahan8764]

I think she is absolutely gorgeous and as a model one of the best . If she just has anger issues and has made a couple mistakes she can grow from . Then i can understand, however if she has been heloing victimized others in the upstien way then no i have no symoathy. Because she knew better and she said herself. She didnt care that her mom couldnt be there she wasnt gonna let that stop her from doing what she wanted. That does not mean you should help victimized others to get the top . IMO
