Cara Delevingne 'fined for verbal abuse' after swearing at Eurostar Security Officer 

Cara Delevingne was detained and given a fine in Paris before boarding a Eurostar train to London after she swore at security staff who pulled aside her luggage for a random check.

Bystanders said the 23-year-old model and actress erupted in fury and behaved like a “spoiled brat” when her luggage was singled out for inspection, the Sun reported.

After being detained for an hour, Delevingne was released with a fine for verbal abuse, a French  judicial source told The Telegraph.

The incident happened at the Gare du Nord in Paris on her way to her sister Poppy’s birthday party at the Chiltern Firehouse restaurant in London on May 5.

One onlooker was quoted as saying: “It was a full-on meltdown in the middle of security. There were at least 20 people around and she didn’t seem to care who saw.

“It was like she thought she didn’t have to abide by the same rules as everyone else just because she’s famous.

“Cara was with a friend who was trying to calm her down, but it wasn’t working. She shouted ‘let him do his f**king job, it’s ridiculous’.

“She got down on her knees and put her hands together as if she was praying for the whole thing to be over. It was bizarre.”

Delevingne was given a “small fine for verbal abuse,” a French judicial source told the Telegraph. The source did not disclose the amount of the fine or specify whether Delevingne paid it on the spot. She is unlikely to face prosecution provided the fine is paid, the source said.

After Delevingne swore at the first officer, another came over to try to calm the situation. Delevingne took out her phone and tried to make a call, becoming even angrier when told to put it away — despite signs saying phone calls were not permitted in the area.

She screamed ‘f**k you’ at a female officer and was taken upstairs to another room. Less than an hour later, she reportedly emerged with red eyes as if she had broken into tears during questioning.

She was calm, apologised profusely to officers and was able to board the next Eurostar train to London’s St Pancras station. Because of the incident, she missed the 3.50 pm train she was originally due to board with her agent.

Delevingne, who became famous as a model for Burberry, Mulberry and Dolce & Gabbana, was in Paris shooting a new film, Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets.

She also stars in another film, Suicide Squad, to be released in August.

A French security source said many officers were fed up with dealing with celebrities who “appear to think they are above the law.”

The officer said: “They have to learn that the same rules apply to them and we are only doing our jobs when we treat them the same way we treat everyone else.”

A few hours after the incident, Delevingne arrived at the Chiltern Firehouse with her mother Pandora and her father Charles for her sister’s 30th birthday party. 

Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and Stella McCartney also attended the festivities.
