Supermodel defends Madonna sex book role at High Court
1:12pm Tuesday, 12th February 2002
Naomi Campbell has defended her participation in Madonna's controversial book Sex.
During her privacy case at the High Court she admitted her grandmother "wasn't too thrilled" with her appearance in the book.
But she said she did not regret taking part in the book project.
Campbell is suing The Mirror for breach of confidence and/or unlawful invasion of privacy after it published a photograph of her leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting a year ago.
During cross-examination Desmond Browne QC, for Mirror publishers MGN Ltd, asked Campbell if her evidence on Monday that she was never ashamed of the Madonna book shoot was accurate.
Campbell said she told Jonathan Ross in a TV interview her grandmother in particular "wasn't too thrilled seeing me with my clothes off frolicking around." bwhahahahahah "frolicking"
She added: "But, I don't regret what I do for my job in the past. Everything I do, I do with my full commitment.
"My grandmother, who's older, said she did not think it was pleasing to her but I didn't think it was vulgar."
Campbell said she did not think she had told Ross she wished she had never appeared in the book. She said: "I have a lot of respect for Madonna being bold enough to come out and do a book on sex. I've never reneged on that."
Mr Browne asked: "Can I show you a press cutting?" Campbell replied: "I need to see the tape and see it out of my own mouth. I can't remember giving an interview. It was 1993. I've done countless interviews since."
