(AP)  Supermodel Naomi Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault Tuesday for hitting her maid with a cell phone over a pair of missing jeans.

Campbell told a judge in Manhattan Criminal Court: "I threw a cell phone in the apartment. The cell phone hit Anna." Campbell said it was an accident because she did not intend to hit her.

Campbell was accused of hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with the phone in the model's Manhattan apartment last March. Scolavino was treated for a head injury.

In exchange for her guilty plea, Campbell has to pay Scolavino's medical expenses of $363, do five days of community service and attend an anger management class.

The British model wore stiletto heels and a tight-fitting black dress and waist length jacket for her court appearance.

"Her punishment should be getting hit in the back of the head by a cellphone thrown by Randy Johnson. Posted by shanev137"

HA!!!!lol That is too funny! She should get that. Isn't this like the 5th phone she's thrown at someone? I wonder if "mobile assault" is covered by her cellphone insurance? lol

We will be watching to see who she hits next? But I just hope someone does not decide they aint gonna take it and strike back. This woman should have gotten a harsher sentence than anger management, and if it had been a relative of mine, she would be sueing for the beatdown as well.

People like her thinks she owns the world, it is really sad that she has forgotten what put her there!
Also ... those anger managment course does not help her at all ... she is so full of herself she needs proper mental help with her mental state she is in.
When is hse ever going to learn to curb her behaviour and temper and not throw them on people who are trying their best to make her life comfortable.
At teh rate she is going .... nobody will remember her for her beauty but her bad manners.
Shame on you girl!

As many times as this woman has been accused of assault one would think it's time to give her a taste of jail and parole. Maybe she would be able to manage her anger then.
