Naomi Campbell is being accused of less-than-model behavior again: Another of her maids claims the supermodel hit her.

In a terse filing in a state court in Manhattan on Monday, Gaby Gibson accuses Campbell of injuries, employment discrimination, “civil assault, civil battery” and other wrongs.

Gibson sued on the eve of a scheduled Manhattan Criminal Court appearance by Campbell on charges of assaulting another maid. The damages she seeks are not specified in the lawsuit.

The court document offers no details, but in a published interview in April, Gibson said the model hit her Jan. 17, called her names and threatened to have her arrested. Gibson told the New York Post that Campbell got upset when she couldn’t find a specific pair of jeans.

Gibson’s lawyer, Thomas D. Shanahan, did not immediately return calls for comment. Neither Campbell’s lawyer nor her publicist responded immediately to requests for comment.

Campbell’s court hearing Tuesday deals with a similar charge and a similar situation, in which the supermodel couldn’t find a pair of jeans.

In that incident, Campbell is accused of hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone in the model’s Manhattan apartment. Scolavino says Campbell accused her of stealing the jeans.

Campbell, 35, faces up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted.

Campbell pleaded guilty in Toronto to assault for beating an assistant while making a film in Canada in 1998.
