New
York
(Reuters):
Supermodel
Naomi
Campbell,
who
is
accused
of
assaulting
a
housekeeper
with
a
cell
phone,
was
hit
today
with
accusations
from
a
second
maid
who
claims
the
celebrity
struck
her
in
the
head.
The
new
civil
lawsuit,
filed
in
Manhattan
Supreme
Court,
accuses
Campbell
of
personal
injury,
employment
discrimination,
civil
assault
and
battery.
It
seeks
unspecified
damages.
The
maid,
Gaby
Gibson,
told
the
New
York
Post
in
April
that
Campbell
whacked
her
in
the
back
of
the
head
when
she
was
unable
to
find
a
pair
of
black
designer
jeans.
''She
said
it
was
to
teach
me
a
lesson,''
Gibson
told
the
tabloid,
which
said
Gibson
worked
in
Campbell's
Park
Avenue
in
Manhattan
apartment
for
three
months.
Campbell's
attorney
could
not
immediately
be
reached
for
comment.
British-born
Campbell
is
due
in
Manhattan
Criminal
Court
on
Tuesday
for
a
hearing
on
the
second-degree
assault
case,
in
which
she
has
pleaded
not
guilty
on
charges
of
striking
housekeeper
Ana
Scolavino
with
the
cell
phone.
The
phone
allegedly
struck
Scolavino
in
the
back
of
the
head,
causing
a
gash
that
needed
four
staples
to
close.
In
the
criminal
case,
Campbell
faces
up
to
seven
years
in
prison
if
convicted.
Gibson's
attorney
Thomas
Shanahan
did
not
return
calls
for
comment.
In
a
previous
incident
with
a
telephone,
Campbell
in
1998
assaulted
an
assistant,
Georgina
Galanis.
The
model
agreed
in
2000
to
plead
guilty
to
the
assault
in
a
Toronto
court
in
exchange
for
expressing
remorse,
paying
Galanis
an
undisclosed
amount
of
money
and
attending
anger
management
classes.
