Naomi Campbell Banned as Charity Trustee for Financial Misconduct

The supermodel and two other trustees were barred after a watchdog found mismanagement of funds at her charity, Fashion for Relief.

  • The Charity Commission found that only 8.5% of Fashion for Relief's expenditure went to charitable grants between 2016 and 2022.
  • Investigators discovered that charity funds were used for luxury hotel stays, spa treatments, room service, and cigarettes for Campbell.
  • Unauthorized payments totaling £290,000 were made to trustee Bianka Hellmich for consultancy services, violating the charity's constitution.
  • Campbell has denied wrongdoing, stating she was not involved in day-to-day operations and has ordered a new investigation into the findings.
  • The charity was dissolved earlier this year, and £344,000 has been recovered and redirected to other charities.
