Naomi Campbell talks about her violent temper and "Abandonment"

The successful career of Naomi Campbell is now being overshadowed by her "diva" behavior and series of her raging temper tantrums. Naomi, who is turning 40 this month is saying that "she's a work in progress".

Admitting her fault on the Oprah Winfrey Show, "I am ashamed of everything I've ever done. I take responsibility for the things that I have done, and I do feel a great sense of shame."

After an outburst, Naomi says she immediately regrets her actions. "I feel remorseful. I feel ashamed. I feel for them," she says. "[I think,] 'What have I done to them?' If I've hurt them."

"Abandonment" which she experienced plays a big role in her behavior.

"I think it comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder, because it's not just, 'I don't get what I want. I throw,'" she says. "It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue, and it comes from also just trying to build up a family around me that's not my immediate family. And if I feel a mistrust, then I really just...all my cards go down."

Naomi's mom, Valerie Morris, was just 19-year-old she left Naomi in someone else's care while she traveled the world and pursed her dream to be a ballerina.

In a statement PETA said, "You have said that you want to show American women 'how sweet and loving Asian men are'. Correct us if we're wrong, but wearing fur is anything but 'sweet' and there is no 'loving' way to rip the skin off a still-twitching animal,"

"And although you have likened yourself to 'SexyBack' singer Justin Timberlake, you are anything but sexy for wearing the fur of tortured animals on your back."

Naomi Campbell must date Rain coz' they both like fur.

Naomi Campbell: "PETA Went Too Far" and I blame my addiction to .......

The fiery supermodel Naomi Campbell has spoken out about her departure from the anti-fur campaign launched by animal rights activists in the mid-1990s, insisting she quit as spokeswoman because of the organization's crude tactics. Naomi said, "When PETA started targeting (Vogue editor) Anna Wintour and (designer) Karl Lagerfield and putting dead animals on their plate, I felt that they went too far and I thought, I didn't want to be a part of this campaign anymore. (But) I do like wearing fur and I still do."
Naomi Campbell says she blame the murder of pal GIANNI VERSACE sent her into booze and drug addiction. Naomi claims the fashion king’s 1997 shooting triggered her “self destruct button”. She said: “That traumatized me . . . the way he was killed. ".
Maybe her addictions started LONG before that, so I find it kind of tasteless to say it was triggered by Versace's death instead.
