Naomi Campbell

So, Supermodel Naomi Campbell was called to testify at the Hague for the war crimes trail of the former Liberian president, Charles Taylor. Naomi Campbell was VERY unwilling to come and testify saying it was a 'nuisance' to have to go! In addition, she refused to have any of her testimony filmed or pictures taken, and she brought her own legal team to 'protect her'. When testifying, she has given a testimony in contradiction to Mia Farrow and her former assistance Carole White.

Now, Naomi Campbell could be the link to put Taylor is jail for funding the blood diamond trade in Sierra Leone. The conflict and trade of blood diamonds was horrific- people died, raped, hand chopped off, child soldiers, massive human rights abuse and war crimes! And if the ICC could connect Taylor to funding this, it would put this dictator and war crimes criminal behind bars for life, which would be a huge triumph for justice and human rights everywhere! How any rational person, i would assume, would be more than willing to help this cause!

But, not Naomi Campbell. Campbell has been said to have received diamonds from Taylor at a charity party in South African in 1997, which would connect him to buying diamonds and trading. Now two people have confirmed seeing her get diamonds but she first denied it by saying she received a large bag of 'stones' from an unknown person. She did not know these were diamonds and she did nothing with these stones. Then it changed that she knew it was diamonds and gave them to the Nelson Mandela charity...but this was denied by the charity. So what actually happened?!? Apparently, Campbell received a big uncut diamond and kept it with her. But she denies this.

Now i ask you, if she was innocent, why the hoo-haa about coming to testify...you were innocent and nothing happened. So, it leads you to think that she did receive a diamond. If she did, for goodness sakes...tell them because you could be the final fundamental link between Taylor and the blood diamond trade! And this is a good thing! So what are you worried about? Your reputation...well you are a 'past your prime' supermodel who has earned a reputation that, i certainly think, would destroy any hope of ever being a respectable person. Are you worried about your safety and your family...fair enough, you are dealing with a serious issue and a serious dictator. But still....for once in your worthless life, do something right. Either you received the diamonds or your didn't. If you did, you are a fool who should have known better than to a) take anything from such a terrible man and b)not tell someone about these diamonds which you should have known, or what have known sometime later (if you had a brain) were blood diamonds.

Now, we have all seen the movie 'Blood Diamond' and know about the brutality of the conflict and the diamond trade. So, all i can say is that if i ever met Naomi Campbell, i would spit on her face because if Charles Taylor walks away free, it will be her fault for covering up the only evidence there is to put him behind bars!

Now, this may be one-sided and this is the story of how I understand it and I, obviously, think she is guilty. So, this is just my two-cents...agree or disagree, but i think it is very suspicious behaviour from Naomi Campbell.
