PARIS, June 30 (UPI) -- Former supermodel Karen Mulder was being held in a Paris jail for allegedly threatening a plastic surgeon, French police say.

Mulder, 39, was arrested in Paris after the surgeon complained Mulder had made threatening telephone calls allegedly demanding she reverse an earlier procedure, Britain's Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

An unnamed detective told the tabloid: "(Mulder) was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening. There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared. The suspect is being interviewed."

The Dutch-born Mulder was one of the top fashion models of the 1990s, a contemporary of Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen and Kate Moss. But she later suffered from chronic depression and made false rape allegations, telling reporters she blamed it on drug addiction during her modeling days.
