Naomi Campbell threatening to sue candy maker Cadbury for comparing her to a chocolate bar.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has threatened to take legal action over a Cadbury advertisement that allegedly uses her name to promote a chocolate bar.Jacked from The Daily Telegraph
The catwalk beauty insists she is "shocked" and "upset" by the ad for Cadbury's Bliss that shows a chocolate bar surrounded by diamonds with the slogan, "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town".
Campbell alleges the tag line is a jibe aimed at her and claims she is deeply offended at being compared to a chocolate bar, telling Britain's Independent newspaper: "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful."
A spokesperson for Cadbury said: "(The ad is) a light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss ... we would never produce any type of marketing we felt might cause any offence to any section of society ... (The ad is) no longer in circulation ... we have no plans to repeat the campaign."

she didn't get paid all her money, so she wanted out of the deal!
Nah, comparing Naomi Campbell to chocolate is straight blasphemy. She's more along the lines of vinegar or the juice from pickles.
I'd sue them too, cause her bald headed ass is more in line with sour balls.
This is a HOMEWRECKING BITCH!
LOL and surrounded by diamonds! Somebody at that agency had it in for her....hey when a ho's gotta make money she will sue a corporate giant...
^^ bullshit , there is no rat droppings in chocolate, don't believe everything you hear/read
chocolate bunny=jungle bunny???
Dumb hoe. She needed to send them a letter of intent to sue, make that paper, so she can throw more of it up her nose.
She's bald, insane, drugged out, and out of order. She should be glad somebody still checkin' for her azz.
CREAMY, SMOOTH TEXTURE, SWEET, VELVETY ARE WORD I WOULD NOT USE TO DISCRIBE THAT BITCH!
SLAVE NIGGER, JAGGED EDGES, WHITE MAN'S WHORE,IS MORE LIKE IT!
BUT, SHE STILL OWNS THE RUNWAY!
Naoi is mentally ill. She didn't have to go public and make this a racial thing. She could have gone behind closed doors and gotten paid.
She better not pop off with the russian jew she with like this cuz he will beat the shit out of her and drop her ass off in her underwear in Siberia somewhere.
@4:21 ROFLMAO at THIS "She's more along the lines of vinegar or the juice from pickles."
OMG!!! THAT'S Funny!!
I don't know why people feel it necessary to tell Naomi how to feel. If she feels disrespected, than that's her right. I don't know why black people like being referenced or referred to food. There is no 'chocolate' or 'caramel' color in the crayola box, and not everyone wants or likes to be referred to as "yummy chocolate." I can understand the undertones she saw in this ad. A chocolate bar, and diamonds, ie her skin and her issues with blood diamonds.
No matter how crazy she has acted in her life, doesn't mean anyone has the right to call her every word in the curse book. And speaking as an American, Americans need to understand that their perspective and thoughts are not all mirrored across the word. Just because you are called chocolate in the us doesn't mean that is the norm, or a compliment in the UK. It isn't. Recognize this and try to think outside of the box.
Diamonds and lush high end chocolate is an insult?
WTF???
