Naomi Campbell accused of refusing to pay £200 hotel bill

Updated 22:40pm on 21 Jul 2008





Naomi Campbell refused to pay a £200 bill at a Moscow hotel after burns were found on the silk sheets in her suite, it was claimed yesterday.

Miss Campbell, who was visiting the Russian capital with billionaire lover Vladislav Doronin, was asked to pay up by staff at the Ritz Carlton.

She stayed in the £10,000-a-night 11th floor presidential suite last week.

Cleaners found holes burnt in the suite's silk sheets, apparently from cigarettes or candles, according to reports in Moscow.

More trouble: Naomi Campbell, pictured here with her Russian billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin, has been accused of not paying a £200 bill

But when the model was asked to pay, she allegedly refused, telling staff any damage should be covered by the room bill.

One hotel worker said: 'As soon as they found the burnt sheets, the managers at our hotel rushed back to Naomi's people.

'But she sent back a message saying we were being ridiculous and there was no way she would pay any fee.'

Miss Campbell had arrived in Russia on a private jet provided for her by Doronin. It landed at Moscow's Vnukovo 3 airport - normally used by top Government officials  - where she demanded total confidentiality from staff and security, onlookers said.

At midday the next day Campbell went to the bar and bought their most expensive cocktail, before disappearing into the city.

She then enjoyed a lavish £1,700 dinner with Doronin and friends. Doronin, a property tycoon, has a £1.5billion fortune.

His penchant for high-living and beautiful women that has earned him the nickname of Moscow's Donald Trump.

He and Miss Campbell, 38, met at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The secretive oligarch attended the recent London dinner for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday, where Naomi was also a guest.

Last night a spokesman for Miss Campbell denied that there had been any damage to the hotel sheets.

She said: 'She didn't have candles on the sheets. She did not smoke in the hotel room. It is completely untrue.'
