The model — known for her fiery temperament — is suing the the London Daily Mirror for invasion of privacy. A photographer from the paper photogtraphed Campbell last year as she left a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in London
ampbell had been quietly, and anonymously, attending group meetings for a year. The whole point of her treatment is the anonymity, and the public exposure of her drug habit put her recovery at risk, she claims. Friends feared that the publicity would push Campbell over the edge
SOT: It's a groundbreaking case
Campbell's lawyer, Andrew Caldecott, said the 31-year-old model had attended meetings of Narcotics Anonymous, often on a daily basis. On the day the photo was taken - Jan. 30, 2001 - she had attended three.
He said her attendance "was a clearly private activity deserving of privacy."
The Mirror's lawyer, Desmond Browne, said the newspaper only revealed the truth about Campbell's drug use, which she had denied publicly
"To the world at large, Miss Campbell sacrificed her right to anonymity by using illegal drugs and claiming she was drug free," he said
er no that is a profoundly ignorant statement that leaves no room for you to amend your behaviour in private with your sponsors …
The Daily Mirror, she said, had left her feeling "shocked, angry, betrayed and violated"
Andrew Caldecott QC, for Ms Campbell, accused Mr Morgan of concealing the truth when he told the model's London agent, Carole White, that a reporter had chanced upon the model and followed her to the NA meeting, and then changed his story to claim that the paper had been tipped off
