She stated that she had delegated control of the charity to a legal employer and emphasized that she is currently investigating the matter to clarify the situation. Campbell also denied any wrongdoing regarding claims that she failed to comply with the charity\u2019s constitution, noting that formal meeting minutes were not recorded and that unauthorized expenses were authorized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not in control of my charity; I put the control in the hands of a legal employer,\u201d Campbell explained. \u201cWe are investigating to find out what and how, and everything I do and every penny I ever raise goes to charity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her career, Campbell has navigated various controversies, including public outbursts and legal troubles.
