Campbell says she failed in her charity duties but denies any personal gain

Naomi Campbell has admitted she failed in her duties as a trustee at the Fashion for Relief charity she founded - but insisted she never engaged in financial misconduct or used the charity for personal gain during its chaotic nine-year existence.

Campbell was last week banned from running a charity for five years after a scathing report found she and her two fellow trustees were culpable for multiple incidents of serious misconduct and financial mismanagement.

Fashion for Relief raised nearly £4.8m from fashion show fundraisers over five years to 2020 but gave just 10% of the £4.6m proceeds to partner charities in the form of grants, the Charity Commission inquiry found.

It revealed the charity - which was set up to raise money for poverty good causes-spent tens of thousands of pounds on luxury hotel rooms, spa treatments, personal security and cigarettes for Campbell at a Fashion for Relief charity fashion event.
