UK bans Naomi Campbell as charity trustee for using funds on spa treatment

British supermodel, Naomi Campbell, has been banned from being a United Kingdom charity trustee.

Naomi was banned for five years after a UK watchdog found charity funds were spent on luxury spa treatments and hotels.

The UK Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, said following a three-year investigation into the financial activities, “only 8.5% of the charity’s overall expenditure went on charitable grants in a six-year period from 2016”.

The commission in a statement revealed that part of the charity funds was used to pay Campbell’s stay at luxurious hotels, spa treatment and cigarettes.

Reacting to the inquiry in an interview with AP, Campbell said, “I have just found out about the findings today. And I am extremely concerned.
