Naomi Campbell has reportedly been at the centre of a restaurant brawl after yet another violent outburst.
The catwalk beauty was spotted embroiled in a cat fight with Brazilian model Marcelle Bittar in an exclusive Sao Paulo restaurant.
An onlooker said the pair - who had been dining together - "gave quite a show of punches and slaps," according to America's MSNBC.com website.
Marcelle later told a Sao Paulo journalist she had confronted Naomi over claims the model had punched and kicked a mutual friend and model booker - causing him to get sacked.
He confessed: "I promised myself to confront her about that next time I saw her."
Naomi's representatives have denied the story, blaming the fracas on Marcelle behaving strangely in the restaurant.
Earlier this month, Naomi allegedly attacked her best friend - for wearing a similar dress.
The supermodel reportedly flew into a rage punching and kicking Yvonne Scio, who has been close to the star for 12 years.
Yvonne, also a model, was said to have told police the star assaulted her in a "completely unprovoked attack".
It's claimed 36-year-old Yvonne had turned up a few minutes late to collect sexy Naomi for a party and infuriated the supermodel further by wearing an outfit she thought was too similar to hers. - Bang Showbiz
