Naomi Campbell Pissed Over Chocolate Bar…Bet She’d Really Hate “Chocolate Rain”



Supermodel Naomi Campbell is threatening to sue a British chocolate company that used her name to advertise a candy bar.

Naomi said she is “shocked” and “upset” by the campaign for Cadbury’s Bliss that shows a chocolate bar surrounded with diamonds and the slogan says, “Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town”.


The model said to Britain’s Independent newspaper, “I am shocked. It’s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful.”



A Cadbury spokesperson says, “(The advert is) a light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss… We would never produce any type of marketing we felt might cause any offense to any section of society… (The advert is) no longer in circulation… We have no plans to repeat the campaign.”
