Just after andPOP reported that Naomi Campbell is due in court Tuesday for a hearing on a second-degree assault charge, the supermodel has been hit with another claim of violent behaviour.

Like the first case, the new civil lawsuit comes from a former maid and claims Campbell struck her in the head, according to Reuters.

The suit is being brought by Gaby Gibson, who told the New York Post in April that her celebrity employer hit her in the back of the head when she couldn’t find a pair of black designer jeans.

“She said it was to teach me a lesson,” Gibson told the paper.

In her suit, which is seeking unspecified damages, Gibson accuses Campbell of personal injury, employment discrimination, civil assault and battery.

In the criminal case, Campbell has pleaded not guilty to charges that she struck housekeeper Ana Scolavino with a cell phone. If convicted, Campbell faces up to seven years in prison.

The model previously assaulted an assistant, Georgina Galanis, with a telephone in 1998. In 2000, she pleaded guilty to the charge in a Toronto court in exchange for a sentence of expressing remorse, attending anger management classes, and paying Galanis an undisclosed sum of cash.
