Inside Naomi Campbell's Sketchy Side

Although he is widely regarded as a monster now, Harvey Weinstein wielded an incredible amount of power in his Miramax heyday. After she won a Golden Globe in 2013, Jennifer Lawrence joked, “Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today.” Even Meryl Streep, a decidedly unproblematic figure, once called Weinstein “god,” per HuffPost. (She’s since walked that back.) Accordingly, Naomi Campbell has been called out over her alleged friendship with the convicted sex offender. Like innumerable A-listers, she was snapped posing alongside the movie mogul on multiple occasions, per the Daily Mail. Weinstein even attended her 40th birthday party, where he almost died due to an incident with his gastric band.

In an interview with The Guardian, Campbell addressed her association with Weinstein, arguing that tabloids’ obsession with “outing” her as a friend of predators is symptomatic of racism. As Campbell points out, many of the aforementioned white celebs who were snapped with Weinstein — even praised him — have scarcely been critiqued by the right-wing press. “I’ve met thousands of people at events and been photographed with them – there are pictures of me with everyone,” she said. “Are you going to single me out, when there are hundreds of people pictured with the same people, who you don’t care to mention?… We all know what that’s about.” She compared the press’ treatment of her to that of Raheem Sterling, Lewis Hamilton, Serena Williams, and Meghan Markle — all Black celebrities who have been unfairly targeted.
