Supermodel Naomi Campbell is furoius these days and is even threatening to sue chocolate company British Cadbury for making an advertisement which is seemingly offensive and racist towards her.



The tag line for Dairy Milk Bliss bar read "Move over, Naomi, there's a new diva in town. I'm the world's most pampered bar," reported the Independent.



Obviously, Campbell is not happy and said, "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people."



Even Campbell's mom has termed the ad racist.
