Cameron Diaz and her Relationships

At 16 Cameron Diaz began her career as a fashion model. Cameron Diaz signed with top modeling agency Elite Model Management. After graduating from high school, she went to work in Japan and met video director Carlo de la Torre. On her return to America, she moved in with him. For the next few years, her modeling took her around the world, working for contracts with major companies. She modelled for designers such as Calvin Klein and Levi's. She also graced the cover of the July 1990 issue of Seventeen magazine. During this period she also made a brief but now notorious soft pornographic film.

Cameron Diaz dated actor Matt Dillon from 1995 to 1998. She is also the ex-fiancée of actor, musician, and guitarist Jared Leto. They had a low-profile relationship from 1998 to 2002. There had been reports that Leto had broken up with Cameron Diaz because he was jealous of her increasing acting popularity. Other reports have said that they broke up because Cameron Diaz was concentrating more on her acting as Leto was more concerned about his band.

Most recently, Cameron Diaz dated former *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake, whom she met at the Kids' Choice Awards in 2003. The pair issued a joint statement on January 11, 2007, announcing they had broken up, following weeks of breakup rumors.

In October 2004, Cameron Diaz and Timberlake were in an altercation with a tabloid photographer outside a hotel. When the photographer and another man tried to photograph them, the couple snatched the camera. Pictures of the incident appeared in US Weekly. Representatives for the pair claimed that they were "ambushed" and acting out of self-defense.

Cameron Diaz and Timberlake were involved in another incident while walking out of a friend's house. A photographer jumped out of bushes and photographed them. He then entered his car and allegedly drove it towards Cameron Diaz, who had to jump out of the way. Cameron Diaz pressed charges against the photographer, whose agency supported his actions as legal and safe[citation needed].

Cameron Diaz has publicly admitted she is deeply germophobic and habitually rubs doorknobs so hard before opening doors to clean them that the original paint fades afterwards[citation needed]. Along with her floors, she says, she washes her hands "many times" each day and uses her elbows to push open doors. Cameron Diaz has perhaps modified her fears somewhat, saying on May 10, 2007, "I think I've made my peace with it."

Cameron Diaz received "substantial" libel damages from suing American Media Incoporated, after The National Enquirer had claimed she was cheating on then-boyfriend Timberlake. Cameron Diaz also sued successfully to stop the publication of bondage-themed nude photos taken of her before she became famous. Photographer John Rutter was eventually convicted and sentenced to a jail term for actions related to trying to extract money from Cameron Diaz in return for keeping the pictures from becoming public.

When Cameron Diaz was asked if she can speak Spanish she said
“ I know what you're saying, I really do. I just cannot respond to you back in Spanish. I can barely speak English properly. I didn't grow up in a Cuban or Latin community. I grew up in Southern California on the beach, basically. And I'm third generation. I'm of Cuban descent, but I'm American. ”
