Naomi Campbell issued an apology to the police officers she assaulted at Heathrow Airport in April, but the supermodel refuses to say sorry to British Airways, reports The Canadian Press.

In an interview with Sky News this past weekend, Campbell accuses the airline of racism and therefore will not issue an apology.

“I was called a racial name on that flight,” Campbell said, adding that her violent behaviour “was part of my reaction.”. Campbell would not disclose who called her the name but said it was not a passenger.

Campbell was sentenced Friday to 200 hours community services and fined $4,600 after pleading guilty to kicking, spitting and swearing at the police officers about the British Airways plane.
