Naomi Campbell candidly talks about the dark side of her life

She admits that she slowly took her own life in the early days of her career as her drug use increased. "I was shocked and frightened by sad things that happened and then I collapsed. I kept my sadness inside, dealing with it. The torment weighed heavily on my soul," Naomi Campbell confided.

The fashion world was shaken when famous designer Giovanni Maria "Gianni" Versace was shot dead outside his home in 1997. Naomi Campbell was devastated by the loss of the man who had always pushed her to come out of her shell, into the outside world, and further her career in fashion.

However, the "black panther" of the world fashion village also commented that drugs do not heal emotional wounds and that being addicted to addictive substances with the idea that they help you overcome your grief is nonsense.

“It made the fear and anxiety greater,” Naomi Campbell emphasized. She entered rehab while the pain was still overwhelming and her body was gradually destroyed by drugs.

In addition to her story of battling alcohol and drug addiction, Naomi Campbell also talked about other mistakes that caused controversy in her life.

The documentary "The Super Models" has 4 episodes and in addition to Naomi Campbell, there are also life-changing stories of famous "long legs": Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington.
