She needs to keep her damn objects to herself before somebody decides to turn around and throw a fist.

Mommy, when I grow up I wanna be a super model so I can be a nasty bitch and everyone will still love me.

What a shame that someone who's idolized by so many has so little to offer humanity.

I love Naomi, always have always will.  It's wrong, but so delicious at the same time.  Anyway, why do people still work for her?  They should get workman's comp or hazard pay.  Ha!  She's crazy.

Somebody just ought to BITCH SLAP Naomi.

She is NOTHING but a spoilt model who I find to be VERY repulsive and frankly, not that good looking.  Then, she opens her mouth and it gets worse.

Talk about STUPID !! 

Naomi, please do us all a favor and OD on some kind of drug so we won't have to put up with your shit anymore.................

Naomi is creating her new media frenzy- It's unfortunate someone else has to be the hurt to do so.

Ok, so the "idea" that Naomi is just defending herself after being provoked by these individuals is just insane???  You can't take the ghetto out the girl.  If she felt disrespected, yo, she gon' put the ghetto smackdown on dat ass!  Fosho!

Seriously though, no one is hearing her side of the story.  I wouldn't say she hasn't contributed to society just b/c the girl has a temper out of this world.  She still donates to charity, still is a fantastic model. . .just has a wicked temper.
