Naomi Campbell got a slap on the wrist today after she flew into a rage when her bag was misplaced on a British Airways flight.

In court today, the ugly, ugly details were unveiled. The Telegraph reports that when Campbell was approached by the captain — not standard practice when a customer loses their bag, btw — Campbell got on her cell phone and screamed: "They have lost my fucking bags, get me another flight, get the press, get me my lawyer."

Campbell then shouted at the captain: "I can't believe you have lost my fucking bag. Bring me my fucking bags now."

As the captain walked away Campbell shouted after him: "You are a racist. You wouldn't be doing this if I was white."

Prosecutors then told the judge how when Campbell was escorted off the plane by police officers, she "went berserk, thrashing her arms around uncontrollably and striking PC Eastick on the arm with her phone."

Campbell also reportedly kicked another officer and spat on another. Campbell claimed she was only being arrested because she was "black and famous."

Campbell pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer, one count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and using threatening, abusive words or behavior to cabin crew. She was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and to pay about $700 compensation to the police officers and airline captain she assaulted. She faced up to six months in jail. This is not Campbell's first brush with the law. Apparently she has assaulted with a cell phone in the past.
