An Anger Management Cure
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Real women like and admire alpha women, but we don’t admire alpha rage, especially when the rage resulted from an apparently minor inconvenience.
You know who I’m talking about.
Naomi Campbell was sentenced to 200 hours of community service Friday after pleading guilty to six counts of assault after an “air rage” incident at Heathrow airport.
Naomi was upset because one of her bags was missing, although at her trial she claimed her rage had more to do with being called a “golliwog supermodel.” (A golliwog is a soft doll with a black face in case the term is unfamiliar to you as it was to me.) She couldn’t say exactly who called her a golliwog, but did assert that “I don’t think that’s really fair, do you?”
But there’s more. www.hollywoodscoop.com reports that Naomi has decided to have a child because “I know that with a baby I would change, I’d calm down. With a child you cannot accept compromises. You have to give your full self.”
So like so many celebrities, it’s all about them. A baby would help her with anger management. Yikes.
You have to wonder whether these people realize how much they give away when they open their mouths.
Anyway, I hope social service workers everywhere are taking notice. If she gets so angry about a missing bag she nearly got jail time, think of her reaction at being woken up at night; changing a messy diaper; or, God forbid, gaining a few pounds.
Stay tuned.
