Naomi Campbell is trying to set the record straight about her trouble with the law.

Naomi Campbell Finally Happy?

"If someone calls me a racial slur, I find it very offensive," she tells Extra of the incident with a flight attendant on a recent London flight that led to her angrily confronting police offers at Heathrow.

"After paying all that money and you’re trying to get to a funeral, which is where I was trying to get to, I thought, ‘Well, I think I have the right to be upset right now.' "

Although reports claim that Campbell has had a rough year – she was charged with assaulting Heathrow airport police, banned from British Airways and given 200 hours of community service – Naomi says everything is going well for her

“I had a great year. I couldn’t be happier,” she tells Extra's Terri Seymour. “I don’t buy newspapers. I don’t listen to it. I don’t pay attention. I just go on with my life.”
