Campbell pays 'thousands' to ex-employee

Naomi Campbell has paid her former housekeeper "thousands of pounds" to settle an employment tribunal over mistreatment.

Ivana Lovas, who worked for the supermodel for four months until last October, began employment tribunal proceedings claiming unfair dismissal and breach of contract.

A preliminary hearing was told about "two occasions of aggressive, abusive and criminal behaviour which caused the claimant to fear for her safety and health".

However, Campbell has now paid Lovas an undisclosed amount for her to drop the matter and sign a gagging order. The Sunday Mirror said sources put the sum at "thousands of pounds".
