Naomi Campbell: Banned For Life From British Airways

April 8, 2008

Notorious diva(and by diva I mean bitch), Naomi Campbell, pushed airline associates too far when she spit on a British police officer over missing baggage. British Airways doesn’t take this crap and after removing her from the flight to Los Angeles, decided that she’s never flying with them again.

“Banning her will send out a worldwide signal that such behavior is totally unacceptable….” “Her behaviour was absolutely shocking. She abused our staff and police.”

“All incidents of abusive or disruptive behaviour towards fellow passengers or staff are taken extremely seriously and will not be tolerated,” said a British Airways spokesman. (I left behavior spelled that way just so you could hear it in your head in a British accent.)

A spokeswoman, otherwise known as someone scared for her life every day, for the thirty-seven year old catwalk maven hopes B.A will change their minds: “Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.”

I like the shortening of the airline to BA. I guess I just don’t talk about them enough that I require an acronym, but when at the water cooler later today, I will throw it in just to see how it works.

Places I didn’t think I would see Naomi Campbell: (UPDATED)
1. in the liner notes for singing on Vanilla Ice’s Cool As Ice

3. performing community service (in heels and designer duds I believe) for New York’s Sanitation Dept.
NEW 4. on a slow boat to England
PREDICTIONS 5. rehab
6. my local Salvation Army on 50% off day
