Naomi Campbell was MIA for her court appearance today regarding charges of assault alleged against her, E! Online reports.

Campbell was supposed to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court to face the second-degree assault charges, which were brought against her by her ex-maid, Ana Scolavino. Scolavino alleges Campbell hit her with a cell phone.

The judge in the case originally issued a warrant for Campbell’s arrest when she didn’t show up, but later decided to cancel it after Campbell’s lawyer said the prosecution was aware that the supermodel would not be there, and that they would not be seeking out her arrest.

Campbell’s lawyer did not give a real reason as to why Campbell was absent, only saying it was for professional reasons.

The judge said Campbell must attend the next court date, to which her lawyer said another court date may not be necessary as Campbell was considering a plea bargain with the prosecution.

The next hearing is set for Nov. 15.
