British Supermodel Naomi Campbell Banned as UK Charity Trustee
Naomi Campbell, renowned British supermodel, has been barred from serving as a charity trustee in the United Kingdom for five years. The UK Charity Commission made this decision after a three-year investigation revealed that charity funds were used for luxury spa treatments, hotel stays, and cigarettes.
The commission’s findings showed that only 8.5% of the charity’s expenditures between 2016 and 2022 went towards charitable grants. Campbell responded to the inquiry, stating she was unaware of the findings and had delegated control of the charity to a legal employer.
Campbell’s case highlights concerns about charity governance and accountability. The UK Charity Commission’s actions aim to ensure transparency and responsible management of charitable funds.
