Latest: Supermodel Naomi Campbell allegedly hit her maid Ana Scolavino so hard she was left unable to see properly and bleeding profusely.

Campbell, who reportedly hurled a mobile phone at Scolavino on Thursday, faces a possible seven years in jail after being charged with assault by a New York Court yesterday.

The British model insists the maid is "concocting lies" to extort money from her, but Scolavino, who needed five stitches to the back of her head after the alleged attack, claims otherwise.

Lawyer Michael Block says, "Ana lost a lot of blood. She has a very serious head wound and still has blurred vision. She was hit hard on the scalp with a mobile phone. Naomi was physically and verbally abusive and Ana did nothing to deserve it. It was a vicious attack."

Campbell hit back, saying, "She is mistaken if she thinks she can extract money by concocting lies."

The incident occurred at 8am on Thursday, when the 41-year-old aide was allegedly fired and struck on the head with an object after Campbell accused her of stealing a pair of jeans.

Scolavino, who is small and curvy, told reporters, "Do you think I could fit in her jeans?"
