Naomi Campbell's former assistant Ana Scolavino has urged the supermodel to get "psychological help". On Tuesday Campbell, 36, pleaded not guilty to assaulting Scolavino at her New York home in March. She stands accused of attacking her maid with a phone, leaving Scolavino needing five stitches to the head. The case has been adjourned until September 27.

And Scolavino is so appalled by Campbell's alleged violent behaviour she likens the beauty to "a wild, caged animal ready to pounce to any victim". She tells British newspaper News Of The World, "She is so crazy you never know when she will hit out. Anything can send her into a frenzy. There is not a single nice bone in Naomi's body. She is a psychotic monster. On the catwalk she might look beautiful, but apart from her face in person she is the ugliest person I have ever met.

"She needs serious psychological help before she hurts or even kills someone. I should know - I am lucky to be alive. Every day she was like a wild, caged animal ready to pounce on any victim, swearing at everyone."
