Naomi Campbell Settles Discrimination Case

NAOMI CAMPBELL has settled a case with her former housekeeper - after the woman accused the catwalk beauty of racial and sexual discrimination.

Slovakian maid Ivana Lovas took Campbell to an employment tribunal amid accusations the star made her life a "living hell" in the four months she was working for her.

Lovas also claimed that the supermodel abused her when she threatened to quit and criticised her language skills.

London-based Lovas eventually walked out in October (07) and filed suit against Campbell citing unfair dismissal and breach of contract, as well as racial and sexual discrimination.

A preliminary court hearing also heard that there were "two occassions of agressive, abusive and criminal behaviour" on the part of Campbell.

But now the case has been settled out of court, with Campbell reportedly paying out thousands of dollars in compensation to her former employee.

A representative for Campbell has confirmed the case will be going no further, telling British newspaper the Sunday Mirror, "I can confirm the matter has been resolved."

It is not the first time Campbell has found herself in trouble with the law over her fiery temper - last year (07), she was sentenced to community service at New York's sanitation department after she was convicted of assaulting another maid with her Blackberry cell phone.
