NEW YORK (AP) – Supermodel Naomi Campbell may be spending more time in courtrooms than on catwalks these days.

Campbell was due in a New York court Wednesday to face charges of assaulting a housekeeper – one in a series of former employees who have said the supermodel is striking in more ways than one. The latest allegation came just Tuesday, when former maid Gaby Gibson sued Campbell for the second time in a New York court.

Gibson says the 35-year-old model hit her, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of Stella McCartney jeans.

Campbell’s Wednesday court date stems from a similar accusation: She was unable to find a pair of jeans and allegedly blamed the maid.

In that incident, Campbell was accused of hitting Ana Scolavino with a cell phone in the model’s Manhattan apartment after saying she stole the missing jeans. Scolavino was treated for a head injury.

Campbell, who is from London, faces up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted after a trial in that case. Her lawyer, David Breitbart, has said a plea deal was possible, but he did not say what it might entail.

In the latest legal woes for Campbell, Gibson’s new lawsuit says “Campbell either kicked or punched the back of Gibson’s head … while yelling discriminatory comments” as the maid searched the closet for the model’s jeans.

Gibson worked for Campbell from November 2005 through January 2006. Her court papers call Campbell a “violent super-bigot” who disparaged her maid by saying, “You are not in the Third World any more, stupid,” and “Romanians are not usually as dumb as you.”

Breitbart denied Gibson’s claims. He also said he believed Campbell’s employees were obliged by contract to take complaints against the model to arbitration and keep their interactions confidential.

He said Gibson’s first lawsuit was thrown out because papers were not filed within the legal time limit. Gibson’s lawyer, Lambros Y. Lambrou, said the new claim adds additional allegations and defendants. They include four companies owned by Campbell and her former publicist, Amanda Silverman.

The lawsuit says the publicist “disseminated false and defamatory statements against Gibson,” harming her reputation. Silverman said she had no comment.

Gibson is seeking unspecified damages.

Lambrou said Campbell has been unfazed by her legal woes. He said she’s been seen wearing a T-shirt saying “NAOMI HIT ME” on the front and “I LOVE IT” on the back.
