Her personal life is widely reported, particularly her affairs with famous men-including boxer Mike Tyson and actor Robert De Niro-and several high-profile assault convictions.

She took on the surname Campbell from her mother's second marriage. Her half-brother, Pierre, was born in 1986. Campbell is of Afro-Jamaican descent, as well as of Chinese Jamaican ancestry through her paternal grandmother, who carried the family name Ming.
