Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell is a British supermodel and founder of Fashion for Relief, a charitable initiative she launched in 2005. Files released by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2026 named Campbell nearly 300 times, documenting years of contact with Jeffrey Epstein. Campbell has not been accused of any crime, and she has said she was unaware of his criminal conduct.

Epstein Files

The DOJ released its Epstein files in 2026 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a release that included millions of documents. The New York Times reported that Campbell’s name appeared in nearly 300 of the records, though some were duplicates. The materials referencing her are largely emails, address-book entries, call sheets and scheduling notes maintained by Epstein and his staff, including his assistant Lesley Groff.

The records indicate Campbell and Epstein were in contact over a period of years, with mentions of travel logistics, event invitations and meetings arranged through his assistants. Reporting and the documents place their acquaintance from around 2001 into at least the mid-2010s.

What the Records Show

According to outlets that reviewed the released files:

• Campbell invited Epstein to events, including a 2010 Dolce & Gabbana gathering in Paris (which he briefly attended) and a 2010 NEON children’s charity event in Moscow. He was invited to, but did not attend, a birthday celebration of hers in France.
• Emails indicate Campbell planned to meet Epstein at his New York mansion. Her attorney has described “3 or 4 business meetings” at his home office; the records do not establish the nature of any social relationship beyond this.
• In January 2016, emails show Campbell unsuccessfully requested use of Epstein’s private jet to travel to Miami; he declined and a charter was arranged instead. Her attorney has separately said Campbell “had been on Epstein’s plane on a few occasions but she never observed any inappropriate conduct.” Campbell also appears in Epstein’s flight logs.

Contact After Conviction

The documented contact continued after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea in Florida for soliciting a minor. The 2010 Paris and Moscow event invitations were extended after his release from custody, with the Moscow event taking place while he remained under house arrest.

Campbell’s Statements

Campbell first addressed Epstein publicly in 2019, saying his conduct was “indefensible” and that “when I heard what he had done, it sickened me to my stomach,” adding, “I stand with the victims.”

After the 2026 file release, Campbell wrote on Instagram on February 15: “I said it in 2019, and I’ll say it again now: don’t come at me when there is no wrongdoing on my part.” She added, “I stand in complete solidarity with the courageous survivors.”

Her attorney, Martin Singer, stated: “Prior to Epstein’s 2019 arrest in New York, my client knew nothing about his appalling criminal conduct.” Singer added that if Campbell “had ever encountered any young woman whom she thought was being victimized by Epstein, she would have personally taken immediate action to help her,” and said that if Epstein invoked her name to build trust with anyone, “he did that entirely without her knowledge or authorization.”

What Is Established

Campbell has not been accused of any criminal conduct, and reporting on the released files has noted no evidence that she had knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. What is documented is that her contact with Epstein — event invitations, email exchanges and scheduling handled through his staff over roughly a decade and a half, including after his 2008 conviction — was more extensive than was publicly known before the files were released.

Documents

Primary-source records that name or reference Naomi Campbell. Inclusion in these documents is not, by itself, evidence of wrongdoing; Campbell has not been accused of any crime and has said she was unaware of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

• Giuffre v. Maxwell — unsealed court records (Jan. 2024) — Campbell is referenced in passing in deposition testimony unsealed in this civil case (U.S. District Court, S.D.N.Y., No. 1:15-cv-07433); witnesses are asked about her by name and one uses “Naomi Campbell’s birthday party” as a time marker. No allegation against Campbell attaches to these references.
• Epstein flight logs — Pilot manifests for Epstein’s aircraft, released by the DOJ in February 2025, record Campbell as a passenger.
• DOJ Epstein Files (EFTA release portal) — In the Justice Department’s 2026 release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Campbell’s name appears in roughly 300 records — largely emails, address-book entries, call sheets and scheduling notes kept by Epstein and his staff — documenting contact from about 2001 into the mid-2010s, including event invitations she extended after his 2008 conviction.
