Supermodel Naomi Campbell is now being sued by friend Yvonne Scio after the former reportedly punched
and kicked her.
According to the Internet Movie Database, Campbell fought with Scio at the Eden Hotel in Rome, Italy,
because she wore a similar dress as hers.
Scio reportedly had to be hospitalized for a split lip and severe bruising.
Scio and Campbell have been friends for 12 years but Scio will now be bed-ridden and out of work.
Scio's lawyer said: "This will be going to court and Naomi will have to appear. This was a completely
unprovoked attack of violence by Naomi. Yvonne is in bed in a lot of pain. Her face is in a terrible way. She
lost a lot of blood. She is an actress so she will not be able to work for a while. We will also be looking for
loss of earnings."
Campbell's spokesperson says, "Naomi has been mistakenly dragged into a potential drama in Rome after an
'actress' and long-term acquaintance, Yvonne Scio made claims about a dispute. Naomi made it clear there
had been 'a disagreement' in which she told Miss Scio that she was 'very disappointed at her behaviour and
that she should go now'."
