Uncut diamonds have no value. I would have given them away also. It costs money to have the diamonds polished and cut. A diamond has value if it is cut properly showing the many facets of it which causes it to shine. Naomi Campbell receives diamonds from Billionaires. I don't know what was in Charles Taylor's mind when he gave her that pouch. Was he confessing to the fact that yes I market blood diamonds for guns? Was he insulting her and saying this is all you are worth? Did he mean to put shiny beautiful diamonds in the pouch but was so high that he made a mistake and picked up those ugly rocks? What was on his mind?
I don't get whats wrong with her receiving diamonds yet the queen in England has a whole room of African stolen gold and diamonds, yet she is the only one questioned. How many people died due to them looting Africa. I'm African and I think this is insane.
It's because she's Black Beauty. Running inside joke since I was child, my Ghanaian born Canadian friend used to tease her immigrant cousin who would walk around with confidence in her thick accent "I am black beeewty" I lost touch with this friend and last communicated with her probably I'm 2010. First met her in late 80s. Fond childhood memories. If she comes across this message she will know who this is!
They're putting so much emphasis on the fact that she said she was inconvenienced but conveniently left out the part where she explained that she felt that way because she doesn't want to put her family in danger by testifying. if I was forced to testify against a man who is known to have cause the deaths of so many people I would hesitate too, especially with all the media coverage. People just wanted to hate on her and paint her as some shallow selfish dumb model who has an attitude problem 😡
Lol. Always about race huh? And obviously the didn't conveniently leave it out if it is mentioned in this video. They more than likely focused on it bc she's a millionaire and celebrity who thinks (or comes across as thinking) that she's too good and too busy for this proceeding. Her excuse/concern for hesitation certainly seems pretextual in my view considering (1) she can certainly afford to pay for greater security protections if necessary, (2) she is obviously very very far from danger geographically as she sits in her million dollar home/apt, (3) the tribunal can order protections for witnesses, and (4) plenty of other people cooperated in spite of any safetify concerns (and they're also much closer to the danger and have already suffered it). They also testified without the smart ass remarks and sour attitude she had while testifying.
Dumb no. But she IS shallow and selfish. She alao has an awful demeanor and treats women around her terribly. Strange how she is always in company of evil corrupt people.
Literally so annoying that they cut out the part where she said she is worried about her family and her safety. Just trying to portray that she’s ignorant and stuck-up which is so not true!
A person and public figure fears for the life and safety of their family, is forced to make a statement against the person they are fearing, tries to play it a bit safe, and is mocked for being arrogant. Are you serious?
She was involved in the case and that just how the justice system worked. She was mocked for being arrogant bc she lied initially and said that she never received anything. You’re playing this off like it’s a pair of shoes from your sister when it’s really blood diamonds-an industry fueled by slavery-from a highly prolific dictator at the time. What would have kept Naomi out of trouble is if she immediately turned the “gifts” into the FBI and reported that she had received them from a war criminal. Naomi Campbell is a supermodel, not the second coming of Christ. Shes not innocent.
@@Alexis-wg5nx Where did I portray her as the second coming of Christ? And isn't that exactly the wrong comparison, since Christ would be someone who is ready to die for what he deems to be right? That's exactly what she is not doing, and I'm just not kicking her for trying to protect the life of her family. Luckily I have never been in a position like that, but I am empathetic enough to imagine, that carelessness or naivety can get otherwise innocent people in a really difficult situation. I don't know what really went down, but I can imagine that she underestimated her contact, and when she was handed the gift she realized that she was in it knee-deep. You would really "simply hand over such gifts to the FBI, telling them where you got them from" if you were aware that this was a potentially deadly dangerous person? She fears for her life to testify, but she should be cool with being the one who gets him arrested? Are you serious? She didn't witness a murder, rape or another hideous crime she decided to be silent about.
She potentially putting her life at risk if she says to much, that's why shes saying its a big inconvenience and she doesn't want to be there, plus obviously she is extremely busy with her courier, so no she it not acting like a "diva"
I'm not sure why there's so much vitriol for Naomi on here. She is not responsible for any of the atrocities that occurred in Liberia, and she's also not responsible for gifts she receives from admirers. I'd certainly find it unnerving and "inconvenient" to participate in a trial of this magnitude, putting myself and my family in danger as a result. Half of the bitches on here spewing hate would've kept the diamonds and not said anything.

ummm I gotta say I saw the unedited footage of this testimony without commentary and she isn't like terrible for it. She cares about her family. Why would she publicly and blatantly give key testimony points that would convict a raging lunatic leader who kills people to prison? To imagine the horrors he's done to others done to you and your loved ones. Like would you boldly walk into that? I would like to say "yeah totally, justice is justice", but in reality most everyone here wouldn't and needs to get off their high horse.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. She’s on trial for HER actions and withholding information is doing a massive disservice to the victims and the country. If she care for her family, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with a war criminal in the first place.
You have to be very very careful how you approach people in certain countries. If one of the dictators Hinchman came to her hotel room to give her a gift. In that country not excepting a gift could be considered an insult. She may have just said thank you so he can go on his way.🦋
Correction, Charles Taylor was not a dictator but the elected President of Liberia in a totally transparent and international monitored electoral process. The men were representatives of the Liberian government not henchmen. If the inference is clear, President Taylor was attempting to woo the model, why would he send henchmen, and why would these socalled henchmen be allowed free access in President Mandela's official residence where the model was residing. The reporting leaves much to be desired in accuracy not to mention bias.
Charles Taylor sent her the gift which she described as ‘dirty pebbles’ because they were rough diamonds, not cut or polished. Once the press learned about it, she was in fear of exactly what would happen: the story would ‘go viral,’ as we say today. Charles Taylor was subsequently convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity and sentenced to 50 years in prison. Naomi had very good reason to be fearful of the attention that a gift she did not ask for would bring.

this woman has worked her ass off to uplift the blacks. always tried to push black models into the industry not because she wanted blacks to be above all but for them to be able to stand alongside everyone. The only reason I see for her to lie here is probably because she is scared of the forces behind the whole scandal and it's absolutely fine for her to gaurd hers and her families safety. So all the jealous ignorant haters can just shut up right there!!!
You think this is a scandal? Do you know what blood diamonds are? Do you know the about of blood that's on Charles Taylor's hands? You think the people who got their hands chopped off and babies cut open from their stomach and their bodies left decomposing in the hot sun, you think they were worried about their families? don't you think they would have been happy to get this 'inconvenience' behind them too? You know nothing about the severity of the situation but all you care about is the "upliftment of black models." Go read a book or two.
Everyone over here mad that she didn’t say anything useful Who wanna testify against a dictator??? Am plus it was a gift , what more can someone say!!!
Niababey01 just like she’s not lying being involved with Epstein right? Her best friend is accused rapist and trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. She helped with trafficking. Her name is all over the place. Please wake up sweetie. I’m saying it truly because these people are held to such a high status most have been unaware until recent of what’s going on with sex trafficking children. It’s in official documents. Crazy world
The emphasis people place on her use of the word inconvenience is so offensive and condescending. It's sickening. Who wouldn't find a SUBPOENA inconvenient? Haters gonna hate, I guess.

The “all seeing eye” it’s an ANCIENT symbol that has been used for various ways since. It’s on the back of the US dollar on top of an African pyramid... ironic this country again loves all things black but it’s people.
If this was the first time she had an association with a dictator I would give her the benefit of doubt but Noami has a history with loving dictators such as Hugo Chavez.
Aditi K so then was it her fault for getting a gift from them!!! She did not steal the damn diamond..... and she sure can’t say much about the dictator coz she travels around the world that could put her in major danger
The whole trial was televised and Charles Taylor was present throughout (apart from when him and his counsel threw a hissy fit). If these people disappeared upon returning home, not a word would be said about it.
Why? If they were a gift i hope she did whatever she wanted with them. ALL diamonds are blood diamonds, the people that mine them are practically treated like slaves, work in dangerous conditions sometimes dying. All sneakers and most clothes you wear are made by workers in poor conditions who are paid very poorly and sometimes abused. If we are going to be picky about where everything comes from you might aswell burn everything you own
Is she really going to sit there that witness stand and say that she's never heard of the country Liberia before like wasn't she schooled I knew Liberia as a teenager. She be Lying 🤥.
She was clearly a witness under duress. But if I were her, maybe try to be a little more sensitive. This was a hearing for human rights violations against millions of Liberians. Maybe don't call it "an inconvenience." 🙄
I’m not seeing how she lied. She said didn’t receive a diamond she didn’t say she never received diamonds. She answered honestly. It was multiple diamonds they should’ve chose their words better. 🤷🏽♀️
So, if a person receives a gift, no matter from whom, there can be a trial??? Ridiculous! If she accepted that from him, it makes her not a good person but it doesn't mean that there should be a trial for this!
I know im late because this had tooken place 8 years ago but I think she is unfairly bein trial as a witness because she didnt want to be there in the first place but they forced her to come court. In fear of her family being in danger is totally understandable, she have family to worried about. I didnt even know about this until today
Hmmm, she's in a hotel room in Sierra Leone, there's a knock on her door in the middle of the night, it's two guys who say they have a gift for her and she OPENS the door to them????
ibmsst ok it was a gift ..what was she supposed to do??? And how is it a lie??? There was nothing more to do or say!!!!!! It’s a dictator..u can’t say anything about them unless u wanna die
Jacque Navy well she could start by saying she kept the damn diamonds. I don’t believe she gave them to a director to a children’s fund and good came from it. Please. They went into someone’s pocket.
The people at the end of the video are not international celebrities and therefore what they say is not going to go all the way around the globe. Its far riskier for Naomi to say anything than it is for them
I am disgusted with her ignorance she is inconviened by war crimes hearing all those people who lost there hands there lives and she couldn't even have thhe decency to stand up for them but she shore didn't mind those. Diamonds what a disgrace
That wasn't the case, the clips been chopped up, in the full clip she says she didn't want to be there because the man in question was dangerous and she feared for her own and her families safety..
@@sealife13 How can you possibly even know that to be true? It's possible she didn't even know anything about him, other than him being African and a politician.
My point is that Naomi is a celebrity, so more attention is going to be paid to what she says than to some unknown person. Besides, look what happened to the other people. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to testify, there were legitimate concerns, for her and her families safety.
David B- Most people have heard of Nigeria. I was a mother of two living in California before I even heard of Liberia. I met a lady and asked her where was she from. She said "Liberia". I said "Nigeria?" She said a little bit annoyed " No Liberia. " I asked her where was Liberia. From the look on her face I knew I had asked the wrong question .
That's an insult to the people at the end of the video. Do they have bodyguards following them around? Are they thousands of miles away from where these atrocities took place? No. They're vulnerable and impoverished. Yet they had the courage to take the stand and testify against the man allegedly responsible.
A real shame she was so "inconvenienced" in providing testimony. The man who testified re his hands being "hacked off" must have felt bad for her waste of time. She's a piece of work, to put it politely.
Her being inconvenienced is a comment to avoid questions and she had many of those... she handled this pretty well she is probably extremely fearful for herself and her family. As for the guy that lost both arms that was definitely true love that he showed for his son but there's a reason why Naomi behave this way in the testimony, and there is a reason why she still has two hands. Think before you call someone a piece of work
"Naomi Campbell *TESTIFIES* " They just called her to say what happened and what was behind the gift she was given as she may have been a crucial witness of the crime committed You should stop worshiping celebrities or people in general as they can also make mistakes and participate in trials, this is the law not a glamorous 90's photoshoot so it doesn't really matters that she's a supermodel.
Edith Monge no one is worshipping her....we are all watching the same video right??? They tried to treat her like a criminal.... listen to the commentary!!!!! That is a dictator...you guys really expect her to talk about him???? Do u guys know how dictators operate?????
retro well you know what they say... Birds of a feather flock together and ruthless women love ruthless men! I don't think strong women that are self-assured like pansy men. I definitely see her sweating in her knickers for a insanely powerful and sadistic man that would chop off your fingers if you step on his shoe. Anyway that's neither here nor there but she is a major liar caught on camera saying one phrase out of the left side of her mouth and the other story out of the right side of her mouth.
She's not a citizen of that country. She has her career, and maybe that's why she said it's a big inconvenience for her. She is a free person from a free world.
@@kimbuenaflorshe is the most important wintness in a case where people lost their lives and were scarred for life. Oh no! Poor Naomi has to show up, how sad
There was a story back when Tiger was gaining fame that Naomi wanted to meet up with him. It was nixed by Tiger. He was probably warned by his father to not go down that path.
Many stories of this woman trying to meet up with men. She flirted with Micheal so bad on the set of in the closet he was repulsed by her. She even wanted to Kiss him badly. Everyone noticed she was coming too strongly on him. I heard she flirted with Save chappelle while he was married and invited him to her house to a candle lit dinner.

The only reason I see for her to lie here is probably because she is scared of the forces behind the whole scandal and it's absolutely fine for her to gaurd hers and her families safety. So all the jealous ignorant haters can just shut up right there!!!
You think this is a scandal? Do you know what blood diamonds are? Do you know the about of blood that's on Charles Taylor's hands? You think the people who got their hands chopped off and babies cut open from their stomach and their bodies left decomposing in the hot sun, you think they were worried about their families? don't you think they would have been happy to get this 'inconvenience' behind them too?
You know nothing about the severity of the situation but all you care about is the "upliftment of black models." Go read a book or two.
i don't think that was his point. the point is she was obviously scared. obviously this isn't just about modeling.
@@kekelauren6251 exactly
She upheld black people yet was involved with a war criminal who was killing and enslaving black people and destroying a Black Country
@@Alexis-wg5nx and also involved with epstien. why do people idolize these elite inhumane rich predators
Everyone over here mad that she didn’t say anything useful
Who wanna testify against a dictator???
Am plus it was a gift , what more can someone say!!!
She didn’t lie, she said she didn’t receive a diamond, she didn’t say she didn’t receive DIAMONDS.
Niababey01 just like she’s not lying being involved with Epstein right?
Her best friend is accused rapist and trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. She helped with trafficking. Her name is all over the place. Please wake up sweetie.
I’m saying it truly because these people are held to such a high status most have been unaware until recent of what’s going on with sex trafficking children. It’s in official documents.
Crazy world
Desert Rose nah. stop with ur bullshit and take it with u when i introduce u to the door.
"I receive gifts all the time and at every hour of the night and I don't give thanks" xD!
"No, well I didn't really want to be here, so I was made to be here. So obviously I'm just like I wanting to get this over with, get on with my life."
The emphasis people place on her use of the word inconvenience is so offensive and condescending. It's sickening. Who wouldn't find a SUBPOENA inconvenient?
Haters gonna hate, I guess.
Obviously She Doesn't Want To Be There!! This Situation Could Put Her LIFE IN DANGER!!! HELLO!! Are They Trying To Put Her In A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION!!! How Would She Know What A Raw Diamond Was!?!?
Notice her necklace?? Interesting choice.
Came to the comments to see if anyone else caught that! Doesn’t seem to be her regular style of jewelry 🤔👀
@@rier8061 what does it mean?
@@floraLi13 its a charm or amulet worn to ward off bad ju-ju/curses/evil from others, its worn as a form of ‘protection’ from said negativity! It counter acts getting the ‘evil eye’ (glare) from malicious onlookers who could be envious and trying to put a ‘curse’ on you. Its really fascinating, dating back to ancient greece and is used by countless different cultures around the world! Might be worth a quick google or youtube vid! :)
@@rier8061 Oh cool! Thank you for your reply. I have always wondered if things like this actually work but I will look into it some more. Much appreciated!
The “all seeing eye” it’s an ANCIENT symbol that has been used for various ways since. It’s on the back of the US dollar on top of an African pyramid... ironic this country again loves all things black but it’s people.
never heard of the country Liberia before LMFAO
FadeTaBlack rather sad than funny tho
FadeTaBlack mood🤣🤣🤣
I’m Chinese and even I studied abt Liberia for a bit at school 🤷🏻♀️
She's a liar.
@@joyandpeacefullaughter5307 yep shes a fkn liar smh
The hair do is amazing
She just says what you would think in that situation but would be shy to say it
Gotta love her 😂😂
Never heard of Liberia. OMG!
And now we all know she was lying... Happy days.
Had to. Would you put your family at risk? Bet you don't.
Im always late so ...😂😂😂iconic
Identité Secrète I just watch it 😭😭😹😂😂😂
W
Man i came for Naomi scandals but now am stuck with that "blood diamonds" scandal, im curios what happened there
@@hieveryone8902 If you want to start...You can watch the blood diamond movie...has that guy from titanic
1:07 when the school bell rings and the teacher says you leave when I say you can leave.
If this was the first time she had an association with a dictator I would give her the benefit of doubt but Noami has a history with loving dictators such as Hugo Chavez.
Aditi K so then was it her fault for getting a gift from them!!! She did not steal the damn diamond..... and she sure can’t say much about the dictator coz she travels around the world that could put her in major danger
And the us president and the prime minister...they are the ones really doing this
1:10 When the teacher ask are you glad to be back from summer break.
Obviously I don’t want to be here. I was made to be here.
The whole trial was televised and Charles Taylor was present throughout (apart from when him and his counsel threw a hissy fit). If these people disappeared upon returning home, not a word would be said about it.
She's such a diva, I love her.
Let's just hope the jewel's did go to some kind of charity.
does anyone know where the Diamonds ended up,..
Highly fucking doubt it
That diamond is hidden for future wealth lol
Why? If they were a gift i hope she did whatever she wanted with them.
ALL diamonds are blood diamonds, the people that mine them are practically treated like slaves, work in dangerous conditions sometimes dying.
All sneakers and most clothes you wear are made by workers in poor conditions who are paid very poorly and sometimes abused.
If we are going to be picky about where everything comes from you might aswell burn everything you own
I think she new exactly what they were
Is she really going to sit there that witness stand and say that she's never heard of the country Liberia before like wasn't she schooled I knew Liberia as a teenager. She be Lying 🤥.
She was clearly a witness under duress. But if I were her, maybe try to be a little more sensitive. This was a hearing for human rights violations against millions of Liberians. Maybe don't call it "an inconvenience." 🙄
She didn't lie, she didn't receive A diamond, she received a bag of them.
It's a redux of Tyra's one-on-one: "I don't remember."
Naomi Campbell real #respect
Never heard the country Liberia before... Liberian what is that? Some sort of collector of books?
Song of michael jackson??
Who is here in 2023
I’m not seeing how she lied. She said didn’t receive a diamond she didn’t say she never received diamonds.
She answered honestly. It was multiple diamonds they should’ve chose their words better. 🤷🏽♀️
If it makes her feel better at night… still apart of the abuse torture and death of innocent children. Burn in hell
So, if a person receives a gift, no matter from whom, there can be a trial??? Ridiculous! If she accepted that from him, it makes her not a good person but it doesn't mean that there should be a trial for this!
She was a witness
I know im late because this had tooken place 8 years ago but I think she is unfairly bein trial as a witness because she didnt want to be there in the first place but they forced her to come court. In fear of her family being in danger is totally understandable, she have family to worried about. I didnt even know about this until today
Do the Royal family next.
u cant blame her for not wanting to talk about it imagine what those rebels could do to her if she snitched
I love how they start off my zooming in on Naomi the Man Cambell's eyes before the interview.
I always wondered why ? Now I know.
Hmmm, she's in a hotel room in Sierra Leone, there's a knock on her door in the middle of the night, it's two guys who say they have a gift for her and she OPENS the door to them????
Please pay attention, she was in South Africa as a guest of Nelson Mandela when the episode occurred, the woman has never been to Sierra leone.
It's not abnormal for her to keep lying all the time!
Can’t believe she said she never heard of Liberia lol
She lied and they let her get away with it. Stupid system.
ibmsst ok it was a gift ..what was she supposed to do??? And how is it a lie??? There was nothing more to do or say!!!!!! It’s a dictator..u can’t say anything about them unless u wanna die
Jacque Navy well she could start by saying she kept the damn diamonds. I don’t believe she gave them to a director to a children’s fund and good came from it. Please. They went into someone’s pocket.
So you're saying it was better to put her family at risk? Please put yourself in someone's shoes first.
They use a bible for legal stuff????
Bro that’s Casey Anthony is the back
What it’s incredible that ppl knowing this still buy or accept Diamonds as gifts
The people at the end of the video are not international celebrities and therefore what they say is not going to go all the way around the globe. Its far riskier for Naomi to say anything than it is for them
Deny, deny, deny!
I am disgusted with her ignorance she is inconviened by war crimes hearing all those people who lost there hands there lives and she couldn't even have thhe decency to stand up for them but she shore didn't mind those. Diamonds what a disgrace
That wasn't the case, the clips been chopped up, in the full clip she says she didn't want to be there because the man in question was dangerous and she feared for her own and her families safety..
@@IH8COMERCIALRNB But she didn't fear him when she took the diamonds
@@sealife13 How can you possibly even know that to be true? It's possible she didn't even know anything about him, other than him being African and a politician.
My point is that Naomi is a celebrity, so more attention is going to be paid to what she says than to some unknown person. Besides, look what happened to the other people. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to testify, there were legitimate concerns, for her and her families safety.
OMG
Can some 1 help the man get prosthetic 👋🙌💪
She said she didn't want to be there bc it put her family in direct danger. Show the entire clip, not just what fits your narrative.
David B- Most people have heard of Nigeria. I was a mother of two living in California before I even heard of Liberia. I met a lady and asked her where was she from. She said "Liberia". I said "Nigeria?" She said a little bit annoyed " No Liberia. " I asked her where was Liberia. From the look on her face I knew I had asked the wrong question .
Donna White then you never been to school before or you was in jail from your 1 years old time til you grown old.
melvin sammy 😂😂
That's an insult to the people at the end of the video. Do they have bodyguards following them around? Are they thousands of miles away from where these atrocities took place? No. They're vulnerable and impoverished. Yet they had the courage to take the stand and testify against the man allegedly responsible.
Naomi Campbell stay around political men. Smh!
The us and england should be put to trial
So beautiful lady, my God, GORGEOUS
This sounds like a novel 😂
She's obviously lying through her teeth... but in a diva-esque kinda way!
Why tf would she want to put her family at risk. I don’t blame her.
A real shame she was so "inconvenienced" in providing testimony. The man who testified re his hands being "hacked off" must have felt bad for her waste of time. She's a piece of work, to put it politely.
Her being inconvenienced is a comment to avoid questions and she had many of those... she handled this pretty well she is probably extremely fearful for herself and her family. As for the guy that lost both arms that was definitely true love that he showed for his son but there's a reason why Naomi behave this way in the testimony, and there is a reason why she still has two hands. Think before you call someone a piece of work
An ICON
Still watching 04/2020
They really tried to put her down
Naomi is such a Queen!
Now they prosecuting people for receiving gift??
"Naomi Campbell *TESTIFIES* "
They just called her to say what happened and what was behind the gift she was given as she may have been a crucial witness of the crime committed
You should stop worshiping celebrities or people in general as they can also make mistakes and participate in trials, this is the law not a glamorous 90's photoshoot so it doesn't really matters that she's a supermodel.
@@edithmonge1884 yeah but they didnt treat her like a witness they treated her like she was on trial, she did nothing wrong
Epsteins whore.
Edith Monge no one is worshipping her....we are all watching the same video right??? They tried to treat her like a criminal.... listen to the commentary!!!!!
That is a dictator...you guys really expect her to talk about him???? Do u guys know how dictators operate?????
@@jacquelineatim4097 so much for swearing on a bible
After her crush on Hugo Chavez, I would not be surprised if she really was leading Charles Taylor on.
retro well you know what they say... Birds of a feather flock together and ruthless women love ruthless men! I don't think strong women that are self-assured like pansy men. I definitely see her sweating in her knickers for a insanely powerful and sadistic man that would chop off your fingers if you step on his shoe. Anyway that's neither here nor there but she is a major liar caught on camera saying one phrase out of the left side of her mouth and the other story out of the right side of her mouth.
this was so iconic
Kylie Jenner filth slavery hardship and lie in the court of order ....what is so fucking iconic dumb bitch
She’s very cool and collected, classy articulate lady
“This is a big inconvenience for me” HAHAHA OMG SHES SÓ EXTRA
How is that extra
en cee losenn up
@@nanakayist 🤷🏽♀️ im just asking a question
She's not a citizen of that country. She has her career, and maybe that's why she said it's a big inconvenience for her. She is a free person from a free world.
@@kimbuenaflorshe is the most important wintness in a case where people lost their lives and were scarred for life. Oh no! Poor Naomi has to show up, how sad
I wonder: what is the correct response on receipt of blood diamonds? Smile politely and accept, then turn them in to authorities?
There was a story back when Tiger was gaining fame that Naomi wanted to meet up with him. It was nixed by Tiger. He was probably warned by his father to not go down that path.
Many stories of this woman trying to meet up with men. She flirted with Micheal so bad on the set of in the closet he was repulsed by her. She even wanted to Kiss him badly. Everyone noticed she was coming too strongly on him.
I heard she flirted with Save chappelle while he was married and invited him to her house to a candle lit dinner.
@@joyandpeacefullaughter5307 everything you said sounds made up.
All of this over a peace of mineral from the earth people decided to put a price on to have pieces of green paper in their hand.
All lies . Charles Taylor wasn't cheap to gave her dirty diamonds 😂😂😂😂
I get gifts given to me all the time. At all hours of the night 😂😂😂
I can’t with the cockiness 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Naomi Campbell, so you never heard of the country Liberia and you travel all around the damn world??? You have to do better than that!!!! 4:05
And she was in MJ's video "Liberian girl" ;)
All over the developed world...
@l oh right, you are right.
But still she must have heard this song anyway, like most of the world.
ANTWAN ALEXANDER Right.....?????
She was SCARED dumbass...the US and the ENGLAND have done WAY WORSE
