Naomi Campbell is going to prison for something she did nearly five years ago.
The 45-year-old model has been found guilty of assault, according to Page Six. Back in August 2009, she and her boyfriend at the time, Vladimir Doronin, were on a yacht trip on the island of Lipari when paparazzo Gaetano Di Giovanni took some pictures of them strolling through the streets sight-seeing.
The model, who apparently had quite the temper, swung her purse at him and scratched his eye causing him to need medical attention. It took Giovanni three days to recover.
"I had just started taking some shots of her and I did not expect such a violent reaction," Giovanni said back in 2013, according to the Telegraph. Her attorney and the photographer eventually reached an agreement, and he withdrew the charges, until a prosecutor ordered the trial to go ahead due to the intensity of the charges.
A Sicilian court sentenced her the six months on Friday. "We are appealing the ruling surrounding the 2009 incident," her attorney said according to E! News. "Due to the ongoing legal process, we cannot discuss the matter further at this time."
