The kind of person who doesn't bring others up along with her when she does well. So it never surprised me that she pretended not to have heard of blood diamonds/Liberia or cared that others were affected by her poor choices.
Kate Moss stated that it was Naomi and Christy T who "took her under their wing". So wrong. She totally befriended a short, teenage Kate Moss and they were pictured together as friends for years.
Exactly. Naomi is so wrong. Kate was not her same look, so was not her competition. Therefore she was able to play nice with those who she did not view as threatening to her look. As many of the top models of colour have even stated 'there was room for one black model per show'.

If anything, Naomi is a victim and survivor, not a victimizer. It amazes me that no one ever stopped to think what a gorgeous Black teen raised in poverty by a single, unwed teen mom must have gone through in the pedophilic fashion industry. That would require seeing Black women as vulnerable humans though, and we know you all don’t do that.
Naomi has never had anyone looking out for her. I wish she would write a real memoir, but she’s too private and also too aware of the reach of so many of these predators. There’s a reason they wrecked her credibility by soiling her rep. Your favorite white supermodel has done worse than Naomi has, but the Christies and Cindys of the world were protected while the media was fed stories about Naomi. [/quote

What the heck is this tirade. I also noticed that the post about Naomi being a trafficker was deleted.
