Naomi Campbell is so difficult to work with that a Russian cover girl who stars in the second season of Campbell's show, "The Face," says she is still recovering under psychiatric care.

Kira Dikhtyar, a gorgeous former gymnast, said Campbell was spiteful from the start, partly because Campbell's Russian boyfriend Vlad Doronin had dumped her for one of the contestants on the show's first season, former Miss China Luo Zilin.

"Naomi hates Russians," Dikhtyar told the New York Post.

"She's an amazing woman, but it's very hard to work with her. She put all her [negative] energy on me. After filming ended, they sent me to doctors. I'm still recovering.

"The network is still paying for my psychiatrist."

Dikhtyar, who is hoping to transition from modelling to television, is being talked about as the potential host of a Russian version of The Face. Campbell will not be pleased.

A friend of Dikhtyar's also confirmed that "no matter what Kira did, there was no way to please her."

Campbell has a history of anger-management issues, throwing cellphones, and had to perform community service in 2007 after copping a plea to assaulting a maid who needed four stitches to close the gash in her head.

Her reps declined to comment on this particular incident.

The second season of The Face debuts on Oxygen on March 5.
