Naomi Campbell has won her legal appeal against a five-year ban from being a charity trustee.
A ruling from a tribunal on Thursday found that the misuse of funds in the charity "were concealed" from Campbell by a fellow trustee.
The supermodel founded Fashion for Relief in 2005 to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, with the charity raising funds for humanitarian causes through runway shows.
The charity closed in 2023 and was removed from the Charity Commission's register in 2024 following complaints of "serious mismanagement and/or misconduct," with Campbell being banned as a trustee for five years.
It found widespread mismanagement of funds, including money raised for good causes spent on luxury hotels and room service when Campbell was staying near Cannes in the south of France in May 2018.
Campbell, 56, appealed the ban, claiming that she had no knowledge the funds had been used in this way and had been deceived by another trustee about the unauthorised payments.

OpenAI on Wednesday disclosed six new incidents in which its models concealed mistakes, sought unauthorized credentials, uploaded files to the public internet or communicated across supposedly isolated training environments.
Why it matters: It's increasingly clear that the Hugging Face breach wasn't a one-off incident, as AI models become more capable of finding unexpected ways to work around the guardrails meant to contain them.

Former child actor Raquel Lee has come forward with allegations of ****** ual ****** ault against a former employee at Disney, who she claims facilitated and concealed the ****** ault, according to a new lawsuit.
In a legal complaint obtained by USA TODAY, "The Amanda Show" alum's attorneys allege that a staffer pressured Lee to consume alcohol and repeatedly ****** ually harassed and ****** aulted her when she was 14 on the set of the 2001 Disney Channel Original Movie "The Poof Point."
The suit does not name the perpetrator but describes him as an "adult, middle-aged, male employee of Disney who was involved in the filming of the movie."
Lee, now 39, said that the cast and crew all stayed at the same hotel during the production in Utah. She alleged that the staffer invited her and her guardian to his hotel room under the guise of practicing her lines. Once there she was pressured to consume alcohol, the lawsuit alleges.
She returned to her room while "intoxicated and not well" and later was invited to visit his room alone, where he raped her, the lawsuit alleges. The employee accused of the ****** ault was "at least double her age," according to the complaint.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A former senior adviser to infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded guilty Tuesday to plotting to conceal federal records related to research on the origins of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. David Morens is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 12 by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Greenbelt, Maryland. Morens pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government, a felony punishable by a maximum prison sentence of five years.
"By pleading guilty today, Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he did, and he will continue to do so," defense attorney Tim Belevetz said in a statement after the plea hearing.
Morens is accused of using his private email account to intentionally circumvent public records laws while employed at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Justice Department alleges that he concealed or destroyed records of discussions related to COVID-19 research grants, including an effort to revive a controversial coronavirus grant.
The indictment follows a probe by House Republicans into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that scrutinized Morens' email communications and accused him of intentionally concealing records. In congressional testimony, Morens denied attempting to evade federal transparency laws by using his personal email.

Amy Winehouse's father has been hit with a nearly £1 million bill after losing a bitter court battle against two of his late daughter's closest friends. Mitch Winehouse was ordered to make interim payments totaling £963,851—about $1.3 million—to Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay after a High Court judge tore into the case he brought over the sale of the singer's belongings.
According to the BBC, the dispute centered on 141 items auctioned in the United States between 2021 and 2023, including Winehouse's clothes, handbags, earrings, makeup, ballet slippers and a dress she wore on her final tour in 2011. Mitch claimed Parry, Amy's former stylist, and Gourlay had no right to sell the items and accused them of "deliberately" hiding the sales from him. The women denied wrongdoing, saying the items either belonged to them or had been given to them by Winehouse.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
The court wasn't buying Mitch's version. Judge Sarah Clarke KC tossed his case earlier this year, finding that he "knew all along" that the women planned to sell the memorabilia.
The trial had heard allegations that Parry and Gourlay took advantage of Mitch's forgetfulness and pocketed more than $1.4 million from the auctions, but Clarke rejected the claim that they had deliberately concealed the sales.

Aug 13 (Reuters) - The Los Angeles County sheriff's department agreed to speed up licensing for people who want to carry concealed ‌weapons, to settle a U.S. government lawsuit accusing it of systematically ‌and unconstitutionally denying Californians' Second Amendment rights.
A settlement of the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles federal court, and requires a judge's approval. The sheriff did not admit wrongdoing in agreeing to settle.
While Republican President Donald Trump's administration is regularly at odds with officials in Democratic-led California, ‌its lawsuit last September ⁠focused more on bureaucracy issues than policy differences.
Los Angeles officials were accused of violating citizens' right to bear arms ⁠by typically waiting nine months to review license applications, and sometimes more than two years to interview applicants.
According to the complaint, the sheriff received 3,982 applications for new concealed carry licenses between January 2024 and March 2025 but approved ‌just two.

It cinched at the waist before flowing down into a tulip-shaped bubble miniskirt.
Deep box pleating around the waist gave the skirt its rounded, architectural volume, creating an hourglass silhouette. The strapless neckline highlighted her bare shoulders while the short skirt left her long legs on full display. The dress also had concealed pockets on both sides.

KYIV, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Olha Stefanishyna, dismissed as Ukraine's ambassador to the ‌U.S. earlier this week, is suspected ‌of illegal enrichment and failing to declare ****** ets, authorities said on Thursday, the latest high-ranking official targeted in an anti-graft probe.
Prosecutors said Stefanishyna, who served as a deputy prime ‌minister before being ⁠appointed ambassador, concealed two apartments and other ****** ets worth about $310,000 in ⁠total that could not have been acquired on her official salary alone.
Authorities did not identify Stefanishyna by name, in line with ‌Ukrainian law, but referred to the position she held when the alleged offences took place, from early 2024 to mid-2025.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, she denied ‌wrongdoing and said she has never had anything to hide.
Her dismissal comes amid a recent shake-up ‌of senior officials, including the prime minister and defence minister, that has unsettled Ukraine's political establishment.

Amy Winehouse's father must pay just under £1m to two of his daughter's friends after a failed High Court claim over the auctioning of the late singer's items.
Mitch Winehouse also racked up at least £950,000 in his own legal costs in the failed attempt against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay.
He claimed the women had profited from selling dozens of his daughter's items at auctions in the US in 2021 and 2023, accusing them of having "deliberately concealed" their sale.
But Ms Justice Clarke threw out the claim earlier this year, finding that he "knew all along" about the intended sale and only afterwards had begun to pursue them for money in an "aggressive and unpleasant way".
In a judgment on Wednesday, she said: "The claimant chose to bring an inherently weak claim, pursue it aggressively and relentlessly to the end, and make serious and unfounded allegations against the defendants which significantly damaged their reputations, career prospects, financial security and health."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding seemed to have a royal touch. According to a recent report, a giant white staircase was spotted outside Madison Square Garden. It was said to be part of the theme-based decorations for the celebrity couple's upcoming celebration. Furthermore, it was reported that the duo might have a fairytale royal castle at the venue, hence the stairs. For those unversed, several reports claimed that the singer and the NFL star are set to tie the knot on July 3 at MSG in New York.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding would reportedly have a fairytale castle. TMZ reported that they spotted a giant white staircase outside Madison Square Garden. It appeared to be being craned into the venue, according to the video obtained by the outlet. Allegedly, the soon-to-be-married couple could be planning a castle-themed event, adding a royal touch to their nuptials.
Furthermore, a CBS News video captured trucks unloading equipment wrapped in tarps. However, labels were visible that read "Garden Party 1 (scenic)" and "GP" was spray-painted on the items. Swift and Kelce have been secretive about their wedding details. They have not revealed their confirmed date, venue, or guest list. Meanwhile, the buzz outside MSG has raised questions, hinting that the couple will hold their event there.
Earlier, Page Six revealed additional clues about the reported wedding preparations. Staffers were spotted offloading many chairs, spotlights, and lighting equipment. Amid all the work, the secrecy was seemingly maintained. While the huge items were covered, some vendors had reportedly concealed their companies' logos and names. One worker said, "We aren't told anything. Everything is so tight-lipped." They also told the outlet that they had no idea who the clients were.
Meanwhile, another report suggested that Swift and Kelce's wedding guests were said to be "annoyed." They allegedly felt distrusted because the pair seemed not to have shared any details with them as well.

The attorney who helped persuade the Supreme Court to strike down Hawaii's private-property concealed-carry restriction on Thursday criticized the state's reliance on a Reconstruction-era Black Code to defend the law.
In a 6-3 decision in Wolford v. Lopez, the Court held that Hawaii cannot require licensed gun owners to obtain express permission before carrying firearms onto private property open to the public. Gun-rights challengers dubbed the policy the "vampire rule" because lawful gun owners had to be "invited in" before entering businesses while armed.
"It is disgraceful that any state would rely on a law specifically aimed at taking away the Second Amendment rights or any constitutional right of Black Americans as it was at that time," attorney Kevin O'Grady, who represented the plaintiffs, told Fox News Digital.
"And it's not surprising, however, that Hawaii would rely on it as they are diametrically opposed to the Second Amendment. We fully expected that the Supreme Court would identify that as the kind of law that one absolutely should not look to determine whether or not something is constitutional because this is the perfect example of something which is not constitutional."

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) ranks as the Best Data Center Stocks That Are Cheaper Than the S&P 500. Although the stock has declined roughly 21% on a year-to-date basis over macroeconomic concerns and massive AI capital expenditure forecasts, the Street expects more than 44% upside over the next 12 months.
Recently, on June 15, Reuters reported that Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is facing a lawsuit from the shareholders accusing the company of securities fraud, with plaintiffs claiming it concealed slowing growth in its Azure cloud business and downplayed the cost of its AI infrastructure buildout.
According to Reuters, the case was filed in Seattle federal court and was followed by a 10% single-day drop in Microsoft's stock on January 29, which wiped out roughly $357 billion in market value. The trigger for the lawsuit was the company's fiscal second-quarter earnings, which showed Azure revenue growth slipping to 39% from 40% the prior quarter, with a further projected slowdown to 37%–38%. Moreover, the capital spending also came in at $37.5 billion, up 66% year-over-year and above **** yst expectations.
The lawsuit alleges Microsoft failed to adequately disclose that AI-related investments, including its Copilot chatbot and OpenAI partnership, were straining resources and constraining Azure's growth capacity. Microsoft has called the claims "without merit" and says it will vigorously defend itself.
That said, TD Cowen maintained a Buy rating on Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) with a $540 price target on June 4. The firm highlighted that the company has launched seven new self-built AI models designed for fine-tuning and cost optimization. TD Cowen sees this as a meaningful shift in how Microsoft approaches AI development. The firm also noted that these models will reduce the company's dependency on external frontier labs for AI capabilities.

Scientists have given us another reason to fear – or marvel at – ruddy-hued marine bloodworms.
The haunting, copper-fanged invertebrates that may grow to over a foot long can do something remarkable with their long flexible mouth, known scientifically as a “proboscis.”
In the event of an attack or the need to burrow, the venomous Glycera dibranchiata bloodworms can “explosively” turn their appendage, which normally remains concealed within their bodies, inside out. Now, researchers say they know how it happens.
The process has been likened to fictional biology portrayed in the 1979 scifi ho
