Naomi Campbell is appealing a five-year ban on serving as a charity trustee, which was imposed in 2024 following findings by a watchdog about serious mismanagement of funds at a charity she founded, Fashion for Relief. Appearing before an appeal tribunal in London, Campbell says she was “deceived” and argues she was the victim of fraud. Multiple reports describe her claim that fake emails and misleading communications were used, which she says caused funds to be misdirected and undermined her ability to oversee activities as intended. Coverage also states that Campbell has blamed her lawyer, alleging “fraud and deception,” and that she should not be held responsible for conduct she says was driven by others. The reports consistently describe the tribunal hearing as her challenge to the 2024 disqualification. While the sources summarise Campbell’s allegations, they do not provide a ruling from the tribunal in the material provided. The appeal therefore centres on whether the trustee ban remains appropriate given Campbell’s account of identity fraud and alleged failures by advisers or intermediaries.
