'I Was Stopped From Entering A Hotel In France Because I Am Black - Naomi Campbell Reveals

Super star model, Naomi Campbell has opened up about a ‘revolting’ incident in which she was banned from a hotel in France because she is black.

The 49-year-old supermodel recalls how she and a friend tried to attend a party at the unnamed hotel in the South of France recently, but was blocked from entering by door staff despite having an invite.

Sharing the horrific ordeal in an interview with Paris Match magazine, Naomi explained: '‘I was recently in a city in the South of France, where I was invited to participate in an event in a hotel whose name I will not mention. They did not want to let my friend and I in because of the colour of my skin.

The guy at the entrance pretended that the place was full but he was letting other people in.
It is for these kinds of revolting moments that I will continue to speak up and make myself heard.’

Keen to change attitudes towards ethnic minorities, the British supermodel added: ‘The word “diversity” is everywhere today but it did not exist when I started.

‘I’ve always wanted people to be treated equally.’
