SUPERMODEL NAOMI CAMPBELL won a legal challenge on Thursday to overturn a five-year ban on being a charity trustee after a panel accepted she had been the victim of deception.<\/p>\n
A UK tribunal ruling said there had been mismanagement at her Fashion for Relief organisation but she \u201cwas not involved\u201d and \u201cdid not know\u201d about it.<\/p>\n
The ruling said Campbell (56) shared responsibility for the charity failing to file its accounts on time but that this did not mean she was unfit to be a charity trustee in the circumstances of the case, \u201cincluding the sustained deception\u201d she faced.<\/p>\n
Lawyers for Campbell told the tribunal a fake email account had been used to impersonate the supermodel.<\/p>\n
The Charity Commission watchdog banned Campbell in 2024 from running a charity for five years after identifying \u201cmultiple instances of misconduct\u201d.<\/p>\n
But she labelled the finding \u201cdeeply flawed\u201d.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the ruling, the Charity Commission said its disqualification of Campbell had been made on the \u201cevidence available to us at the time\u201d.<\/p>\n
It said the ruling recognised that the commission, Campbell and others had been \u201csubject to sophisticated deception\u201d.<\/p>\n

Campbell founded the charity in 2005, aiming to harness the fashion industry to relieve poverty and advance health and education, by making grants to other organisations and giving resources towards global disasters.<\/p>\n
Fashion for Relief fund-raised through large-scale catwalk shows in Cannes, New York and London.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kendall Jenner, Kate Moss and Gigi Hadid were among the models that took part throughout the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The organisation was dissolved and removed from the register of charities in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SUPERMODEL NAOMI CAMPBELL won a legal challenge on Thursday to overturn a five-year ban on being a charity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3221,272530,93,214961,61,60,272531,272532,56947,303],"class_list":["post-641941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-charity","tag-charity-commission","tag-entertainment","tag-fashion-for-relief","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-legal-ruling","tag-model-behaviour","tag-naomi-campbell","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
