In a candid and controversial discussion, the JBP crew dived into allegations surrounding Naomi Campbell’s charity, ‘Fashion for Relief’. The supermodel has been accused of misappropriating funds, allegedly using charity donations for personal luxuries, including hotel stays, spa treatments, security, flights, and cigarettes. The scandal broke after the Charity Commission’s investigation revealed that only a fraction of the funds raised went to its intended causes. Additionally, it was reported that one of the trustees received six-figure payments.
The discussion touched on the broader issue of celebrities misusing nonprofit funds, drawing comparisons to other high-profile cases, such as Black Lives Matter. The crew humorously discussed the idea of running a charity themselves, joking about exploiting it for personal gain.
Towards the end, the episode shifts to a conversation about Naomi Campbell’s standing in the fashion world and her alleged rivalry with Rihanna. While acknowledging Naomi’s contributions to the industry and her role in paving the way for black women in fashion, the hosts debated whether Rihanna, representing the future of fashion, had surpassed Naomi’s legacy. Despite the scandal, the crew acknowledged Naomi Campbell’s iconic status but discussed the inevitable shift in influence as new stars like Rihanna emerge in the fashion world.
