Campbell: "It's been a tough year"
Naomi Campbell says she's had a "tough year" after her ninth time being charged with assault.The 36-year-old, who is due back in a New York court in January to face charges of assault against her former maid, told Sky News that everything had been "very hurtful and blown out of proportion".
She added: "But I can't stop getting on with my life. I have to get on with my life. I can't pay too much attention to this negative stuff. I don't like to live in the negative. I like to stay in the present moment and stay positive.
"What's awful about it is it's dropped -- none of it was concrete evidence to be held. It's just like: 'Where does this come from and why?' I just feel like I am a target. People have told me for months and years 'you're a target' but it's only just kind of sunken in that I am a target. I have to be very careful who I'm around, what I say, who's around me. I cannot be with someone on my own anymore because I don't know the agendas that people have.
"I've had to learn from my mistakes but I don't harbour grudges. I'm like a human like everybody else. I just want to have my health every day and my family’s health. I'm happy right now. I know not every day's going to be great. I don't drink, I don't do drugs anymore and I feel great about that."
