NEW YORK - British beauty Naomi Campbell will swap her catwalk outfits for a broom, gloves and safety vest when she begins mopping floors at New York's Sanitation Department on March 19, a court official confirmed today.
But Campbell, who was sentenced to community service as punishment forthrowing her mobile phone at her housekeeper, will serve her five-day sentence indoors.
Singer Boy George attracted a media throng when he swept streets in a court-ordered punishment in August.
The New York Post reported today that Campbell had been assigned to mop floors with other community service workers at a Sanitation Department warehouse in Manhattan. A court official confirmed the story but declined further comment.
Campbell, 36, has been accused by at least three employees of hitting or otherwise assaulting them. She has blamed her temper on lingering resentment toward her father for abandoning her as a child.
She has since expressed her remorse about the incident, saying she has a "deep sense of shame".
She has also admitted she goes to Narcotics Anonymous meetings every day.
The model, who first went into rehab to tackle her cocaine addiction in 1999, feels the need to go to regular group therapy sessions despite insisting she has been clean from drugs for years.
Naomi told GQ mgazine: "I go to an Narcotics Anonymous meeting every day wherever I am in the world.
"There is a book that tells you where you can go in every country. My agents know I need to go. I need to do it for me, to remind me of where I am in my life, where I have come from and where I don't want to be."
