Supermodel and pugnacious employer of assistants, Naomi Campbell claims that people deliberately target her.

Campbell, 36, claims come on the heels that she is the "target" of people who are attempting to take advantage of her after it emerged that police in London are taking no further action over claims that she attacked her counsellor.

The model told Sky News that she no longer wanted to spend time alone in the same room as anyone in order to prevent further allegations being made against her.

"It's been really like a tough year in terms of like the accusations and stuff like that. It's been very hurtful and blown out of proportion...But I can't stop getting on with my life. I have to get on with my life. I can't pay too much attention to this negative stuff."

"I don't like to live in the negative. I like to stay in the present moment and stay positive," said Campbell.

The model is due back in a New York court in January to face charges of assaulting her former maid with a jewel-encrusted cell phone.

Campbell said: "I just feel like I am a target. People have told me for months and years 'you're a target' but it's only just kind of sunken in that I am a target."

"I have to be very careful who I'm around, what I say, who's around me," she said to Sky News.
