Naomi and a Faulty Comparison

Naomi Campbell is being sued by another one of her former assistants, who claims that the supermodel threw her against the wall, slapped her in the face, and stranded her in Morocco without any money. Naomi's behavior may be worse than any other celebrity.

The second sentence contains a faulty comparison. "Naomi's behavior" is compared to "any other celebrity." It is not logical to compare behavior to a person. Behavior should be compared to behavior. Change the sentence to create a logical comparison.

Naomi's behavior may be worse than that of any other celebrity.

Note that the comparison is between "Naomi's behavior" and "that of any other celebrity," as opposed to "that of any celebrity." Since Naomi is a celebrity, the word "other" must be included in the sentence to signify her membership in a group of celebrities.
