Chanel supermodel calls police after husband 'brandishes knife in New York apartment'
A supermodel called the police on her hair stylist husband after he allegedly brandished a knife and started threatening people.
Ten officers stormed the Manhattan flat of Shawn Mount after Heidi Mount - the current face of Chanel - told them he had pulled out a blade.
Mr Mount was not arrested and no charges have been filed but a war of words has now broken out with accusations of lying and drug abuse from both sides.
The episode also marks a low point in their increasingly bitter divorce battle.
Last September their relationship was put under further strain when Mr Mount was accused of r*ping a model during London Fashion Week. He was later cleared.
The Mounts, who have one son together, married in 2007 but have been having problems for the last two years.
When the r*pe allegations surfaced Heidi Mount, 25, a Karl Lagerfeld muse who has starred in campaigns for Alexander McQueen and Calvin Klein, stood by her husband, but it was a rare show of unity.The latest episode happened when Mr Mount was at home with their son and ten cops suddenly banged on his door and demanded he let them in.
The 30-year-old told the New York Post that his estranged wife was not even with him at the time and that she was just trying to ‘set me up’.
‘It was just me and my son in the apartment,’ he said.
‘She made a 911 call, and ten officers showed up. The officers said Heidi told them there was a disturbance and I had a knife that I was waving around threatening people.
‘She wasn't in the apartment. How could she feel threatened?’
Mr Mount, a hair stylist for Vogue and Ralph Lauren, added that his estranged wife called the police just to get an order of protection against him and get custody of their son. He also alleged that she is doing drugs.
‘I believe she did it because I asked her through mediation to take a drug test. I believe she is using cocaine,’ he said. ‘We have been having problems for a while. I have been asking for a divorce for two years.’
Ms Mount denied using drugs and claimed that her estranged husband said something ‘that made me feel threatened’, but would not elaborate further.
‘I didn't tell the police he had a knife,’ she told the Post.
‘They asked me if there was anything in the apartment that could be used as a weapon, and I responded. 'He has a pocket knife, and there are kitchen knives on a magnet in the kitchen.
‘But his claims about me using drugs are completely wrong. I do not use drugs. I work extremely hard, and I am trying to do the right thing for my son. I hope we can reach a peaceful agreement. I never wanted my son to not have his father in his life.’
Ms Mount, originally from Salt Lake City, has been quietly been climbing her way to fame for years.
Since 2003 she has walked the catwalk some of the biggest names in Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear including Marc Jacobs, Viktor & Rolf and Christian Dior.
After taking a break from modelling, during which she got married and gave birth to her first child, she returned in campaigns for Armani Jeans, Bally and Prada.
In 2009 she replaced the Claudia Schiffer as the face of Chanel.

Oh the drama. This is interesting follow up after the r*pe allegations. How sad for their child.

Heidi isn't my favourite model , but lets hope this doesn't damage her reputation.I'm suprised they talked to the press , people need to keep their private lives private.
