Earlier this week Naomi Campbell hit 27-year-old driver Miodrag Mejdina, but he didn't press charges after spending much of the afternoon at the 17th Precinct. The Daily News says "Coo-Coo" Campbell is now free to move on to her 11th victim, and no one is safe.
A former employee divulges, "She has hit drivers before. She wants to control everyone all the time. She wants to have everything go how she wants it to go. She's usually late and the driver takes the heat for not getting her there fast enough. She might want him to run a light and he won't. It can be a small thing that escalates and she freaks out... her emotions can quickly turn to rage!"
This time around, after Mejdina's head was slammed into the steering wheel (again using a phone as her weapon of choice), he called police, as Naomi fled the scene. He ended up not pressing charges, and hasn't spoken about the incident. The paper theorizes that her billionaire boyfriend (and Mejdina's boss) Vlad Doronin may have gotten to him. After all, the supermodel allegedly hit him because he wouldn't tell her if Doronin was cheating on her. We're going to go ahead and assume he is, since, you know, he lives with his wife when he's home in London.
