HERIETH PAUL: Naomi is an amazing model.
But the media has made her out to be something very different nobody
knows if it’s true or not. As for myself I am might share some of her
looks but I would have to say we are not
similar in personality or temper, we are two different characters.
I am more of a go with the flow kinda person 🙂 I don’t have a bad
temper. I like to laugh a lot and chill.
