In Apple TV+'s 'The Super Models,' Naomi Campbell discussed her reputation of being 'difficult' and how it effected her career.
is undoubtedly one of the greatest models of all time, but that status comes with its own bit of baggage. Throughout her time on the catwalk and in front of the camera, Campbell seemed to have a reputation preceding her greatness, and in Apple TV+'s new documentary , she opened up about how being perceived a certain way hampered parts of her career as she worked — and more specifically, as a Black model.
"It was hard to be an outspoken Black woman and I definitely got the cane for it many times," she says in the third episode of the series. Campbell recalled an incident that happened after she switched from the Ford modeling agency to Elite. Alongside the agency's founder, John Casablancas, she addressed a room full of executives and demanded equal pay.
"But when they told me what they wanted to pay me, I said no in front of the whole room. I said, 'I get paid that in Tokyo in one day, why would I take that for a contract for a year?'" she shared of a meeting at Revlon. She also said that she knew what her counterparts were being paid and wouldn't stand to make anything less than her peers.
"John got very embarrassed and then decided to call me 'difficult.' And he then decided he was going to go to the press and say I was difficult and that he fired me," she added. "First of all, let's get this clear. Models cannot get fired. We are self-employed.
