Even Naomi’s fame nor millions could get her into a top Hotel In France.
Naomi Campbell revealed that she was recently turned away from a French hotel because she is black. Speaking to the publication Paris Match, the supermodel said she was invited to attend an event at a hotel in the south of France around the time of the Cannes Film Festival, but she and her friend were denied entry “because of the color of my skin.”
The guy at the entrance pretended that the place was [full]. But he let other people pass,” Campbell said, per The Root. She did not specify which hotel refused to let her in.
“It’s because of revolting moments like this one that I’ll continue to express myself and make myself heard,” she added.
Campbell is a vocal advocate for diversity in the fashion industry and acknowledges in the interview that she’s paved the way for models of color who rose to fame after her. However, she notes that the struggle for racial equality and inclusivity in fashion is by no means over. “The challenge is permanent,” she said, according to The Root.
Naomi should have named the hotel and they would have been cancelled faster than Kanye West. So why didn’t she?
