According to the commission's report released on September 26, Campbell’s charity, founded in 2015 to support environmental and humanitarian causes, had problems with its governance and financial management. The report accuses Campbell and others involved of using the charity’s funds for personal expenses, including costly flights, luxury hotels, and cigarettes.
One of the key findings was a flight from London to Nice in 2018, costing €14,800, which was reportedly for transporting valuable art and jewelry to a fundraising event in Cannes. These expenses have raised concerns about how the charity's money was being used.
Campbell, who was recently honored with the Order of Arts and Letters in France for her contributions to culture, denied any wrongdoing. In a statement to the Associated Press, she explained that she had handed control of the charity to a legal team and is now investigating the accusations. She emphasized that all funds raised through her charity go to the intended causes.
Despite past controversies and legal issues, Campbell remains a major figure in the fashion world. This latest scandal adds to her complex public image, but she continues to maintain her innocence regarding the charity allegations.
