Supermodel Naomi Campbell has long secured her status as a style icon. Thousands of girls around the world want to be like her. Who would have thought that she too was bullied in her school years?

But that’s exactly what her classmates did to Campbell. They openly mocked her at every opportunity. “I was at odds with myself because I was so skinny and so tall for my age. And they called me Olive Oyl (a character from the cartoon “Popeye the Sailor Man” – Ed.). I had a long neck so I tried to squeeze my shoulders so it wouldn’t be so long. I felt weird,” Naomi told the Cambon Podcast.

By the way, it was not only Naomi who received this in childhood. Beyoncé’s mother also spoke about bullying at school. She was a very shy girl and could not defend herself.
