Naomi Campbell has reportedly been found guilty of assault by a Sicilian court after she scratched a photographer’s eye.
People reports Campbell was given a six-month suspended prison sentence.
Gaetano Di Giovanni was taking photos of Campbell and her then boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin in August of 2009 when the incident took place. Campbell allegedly lost her temper and hit him with her bag, which scratched his eye in the process.
Di Giovanni withdrew the charges after coming to an agreement with Campbell, but a prosecutor wanted the case to go forward, citing public interest.
Campbell is expected to appeal the decision, according to the New York Daily News.
