Naomi Campbell: 9/11 responsible for my plane arrest

Model claims people are more wary on flights

Thursday, 2 October 2008

Naomi Campbell reckons the 11 September terrorist attacks are to blame for her arrest on a BA flight earlier this year.

The model, who allegedly spat at a police officer at Heathrow Airport during a row over her luggage, claims the tragedy has changed people's attitude to air travel.

‘I think after 9/11 you can't say anything any more on a plane,’ she tells the Evening Standard. ‘I've flown British Airways for years, since I was a child. The stewardesses will tell you that I would get on a plane, put on the blanket and go to sleep.

‘I'll never fly that airline again, but nothing's really lost. I did get my luggage. I was reunited with my [Yves Saint Laurent] and everything was cool.’

In court in June she pleaded guilty to 3 counts of assaulting an officer, 1 count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and 2 counts of using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to the cabin crew.

Naomi, 38, was sentenced to 200 hours' community service.
