It would appear that Naomi Campbell has displayed some less than model behavior.

The acclaimed supermodel has been disqualified from any charity involvement in England and Wales for the next five years after it was found that Fashion for Relief—a charity organization she helped found in 2005—had been misappropriating funds.

A Sept. 26 inquiry by the Charity Commission for England and Wales confirmed that there were “multiple instances of misconduct and / or mismanagement” by Campbell, as well as her fellow trustees, Bianka Hellmich and Veronica Chou, who have also been banned from charitable works for nine years and four years, respectively.

The Commission found that “between April 2016 and July 2022, only 8.5 percent of the charity’s overall expenditure was on charitable grants,” and noted that in May 2018, the trustees spent €14,800 (about $19,800) on a flight from London to Nice for a fundraising event, according to the decision shared on their public website. During that trip, the inquiry stated Campbell also used the charity’s funds to spend €9,400 (about $12,500) on hotel accommodations, as well as an additional €7,939.75 (about $10,700)—paid for by the charity—on “spa treatments, room service, and the purchase of cigarettes and hotel products.”
