Campbell gets angry when people she trusts let her down

LONDON - Supermodel Naomi Campbell, who is well-known for her outbursts, insists she is not a “petulant diva” who throws phones at maids and slaps drivers when she doesn’t get her own way - she gets enraged only when people she trusts let her down.
The 34-year-old beauty was punished for attacking airline staff on a British Airways flight and pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless assault against her employee Ana Scolavino, and was sentenced to five days community service in New York and ordered to attend two days of anger management classes in January 2007, reports dailystar.co.uk.
However, during the Oprah Winfrey Show, Campbell revealed she has calmed down since and learned to understand where her rage comes from.
“It comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder because it’s not just, if I don’t get what I want I throw… It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue and it comes from also trying to just build up a family around me that’s not my immediate family and if I feel a mistrust, then… all my cards go down,” Campbell said.
“I think it’s also a fear issue because anger comes from fear… It’s not an excuse, I don’t have an excuse for my behaviour… I’ve taken that it’s wrong,” she added.
