Nigella Lawson attacked by husband..?..

[Ammi]

Her eyes are transfixed as she struggles to prise away the powerful hand squeezing around her throat.

Glamorous TV cook Nigella Lawson looks stunned to be *attacked by her art collector husband Charles Saatchi during a vicious row at their *favourite London restaurant.

Fellow diners and passers-by at Scott’s in Mayfair were shocked to see the *advertising *multimillionaire reduce his celebrity wife to tears.

Saatchi launched a tirade of angry words. Four times he grasped her around the neck with Nigella, 53, looking powerless and petrified.

At first he used only his left hand, then both. At one stage he tweaked her nose then pushed both hands in her face. Twice Nigella jerked her head backwards as if in fear.

Several times she nodded *intently while the conversation became more and more heated.

By the end of the meal she was clearly distraught and in tears.

Now there are fears of severe problems in their 10-year marriage – his third and her second.

Nigella has been abroad *frequently promoting her latest book and TV series while Saatchi, 70, has become *ever more reclusive and tetchy

The bust-up came after the *couple had just finished eating at the *specialist seafood restaurant, a *popular haunt for *celebrities *including Pippa Middleton, Jeremy Clarkson and Simon Cowell.

Nigella and Saatchi always ask for the same table, which is outside *because he likes to smoke.

It is partly sheltered by olive trees and box bushes. But the attack could be clearly seen and heard by other customers and those passing by the restaurant in the busy street.

Nobody intervened although the incident looked brutal.

A couple on the adjacent table, who briefly chatted with Nigella earlier, turned round and gasped in alarm as they saw her in distress.

She dabbed her eyes on a linen napkin as Saatchi tapped his *cigarettes impatiently on the table.

Nigella then downed her glass of red wine in one gulp and began to talk, her voice trembling.

She seemed to be trying to pacify her husband, placing a hand on his left wrist as it lay on the table.

At that moment she leaned over and kissed his right cheek.

“It was utterly shocking to watch,” said one onlooker. “I have no doubt she was scared. It was horrific, *really. She was very tearful and was *constantly dabbing her eyes.

“Nigella was very, very upset. She had a real look of fear on her face. No man should do that to a woman. She raised her voice and got angry but at the same time was trying to calm him down, almost like you would try to calm down a child.

"The kiss was a strange thing. He was being *intimidating, *threatening.

“And yet she kissed him. She *appeared to be a woman who loves him but was clearly unable to stop him being abusive, *frightening and *disrespectful to her.”

Saatchi, 6ft and 17 stone, marched off, leaving his wife sobbing at the table and *grasping her mobile phone as he got into a car the couple had waiting.

The onlooker said: “He looked guilty. It was clear he knew he’d done something wrong. He was menacing, there’s no *question. She had been abused and *humiliated in public.”

As Nigella walked to the car she put a hand to her mouth and bit her lip while wiping away tears.

The *pair returned to the *£12million converted warehouse in Chelsea, central London, where they live with his daughter Phoebe, 19, and her children Cosima, also 19, and Bruno, 17 – all from *previous marriages.

Earlier Nigella *tweeted a *picture of her *breakfast – scrambled egg and smoked salmon – without a hint of any trouble at home.

The couple, due to celebrate their 10th *anniversary in September, went out for lunch last Sunday with Saatchi in his trademark black suit and crisp white shirt.

Nigella wore a black jacket with matching tight leggings and a top with red dots. Earlier this year her *voluptuous look and sensuous style made her a hit in Hollywood – as a judge on foodie talent show Taste.

Saatchi, who describes himself as a control freak and at times “cringingly vain” has also said his wife’s cookery is wasted on him and he *prefers *nursery food such as eggs and beans on toast.

Nigella once said of him: “Charles doesn’t really like proper food. He prefers a bowl of cereal.”

One acquaintance who had a *conversation with Nigella recently said: “For Saatchi, Nigella has eclipsed him and he’s grumpier.

“His ultimate act of rebellion has been to reject her food. I have a *feeling that drinking and smoking come into this as well. Her first *husband John Diamond died of throat cancer in 2001. Yet Saatchi smokes.

“She’d never say anything about it though. She wouldn’t like to do *anything to upset him.

“Nigella is in awe of him and *surprisingly lacking in confidence herself. She has been thrilled by the *reaction she has been getting in America after appearing on TV.

“And with the popularity in Britain it’s boosted her self-esteem.”

A spokesman for Scott’s said last night: “We do not comment on the private matters of customers.”

Neither Nigella nor Saatchi *responded to requests for a comment when *asked by the Sunday People

My thoughts too, if he is that unbalanced and cannot control himself he needs help and fast. If he won't get it she should sling him out.
I find this story worrying,I like Nigella and there is no need whatsoever for anyone to have to at any time put up with humiliation and brutality like this.

She is the one who will have to act though from the sounds of it.

[Me. I Am Salman]

This is really weird and shocking :/

[Kizzy]

My initial guess is she's had an affair and that was his reaction, not condoning his behaviour though.
The violence and the placating and the drama and the tears are an eerily familiar scenario for me :blush:

Well, I DID make her an offer, but apparently £50k pa is not enough to keep her in the style to which she has become accustomed, so she went for the bank of Saatchi, worth £100m ..... :shrug:

[Kizzy]

She's not exactly skint herself?......

[Cherie]

No. So why would she put up with that kind of humiliation. Beggars belief. I'd have kicked him in the goolies after I'd smashed my wine glass over his head.

Nigella Lawson is Mr Saatchi's third marriage - his second wife Kay Saatchi was granted a divorce on the grounds of his unreasonable behaviour and Miss Lawson was named as the ' other woman'.

Miss Lawson revealed that she was physically abused by her mother when she was a child earlier this year.

A violent and depressive woman, Vanessa Salmon – who was married to Conservative politician Nigel Lawson, the former Chancellor – would lash out when her children made too much noise, Miss Lawson said.

Miss Lawson, who was one of four children, told FT Weekend: ‘I never thought I could please her.

‘She was funny but depressed and so sensitive to noise. The sound of a plastic bag being crinkled would send her deranged. She’d shout at all of us and say, “I’m going to hit you till you cry”, and so I never would cry. I still don’t.

Nigella has previously admitted that she and Saatchi have fiery rows and has described her husband as "an exploder".

She said in 2007: "I'll go quiet when he explodes, and then I am a nest of horrible festeringness."

Just like she was with her mother, seemingly ..... :sad:

Nigella Lawson has left her marital home with a suitcase just hours after shocking pictures emerged of the TV chef apparently being choked by her husband millionaire Charles Saatchi during a row in a restaurant.

The 53-year-old mother of two looked anxious as she dashed into a waiting taxi with her teenager son - Mr Saatchi had left the multi-million pound London home 90 minutes before.

She should get a good divorce lawyer first thing tomorrow ..... :pipe:

I think the truer statement is that love is BLINDING, not blind.

People are blinded by love and see what they want to see, and go for people that satisfy unconscious psychological needs.

Anyway, whatever I think of Nigella, she's a grown up. If she has a problem with her husband I don't think she needs the tabloids acting as judge and jury.

[Nedusa]

At least this problem is now out in the open and can be addressed, his behaviour by all accounts amounts to assault and he could well find himself in trouble with the police.

Also, any divorce proceedings filed by her on the grounds of physical and mental cruelty will now carry much more weight after his actions were witnessed and photographed. He may not realise it now but that little episode may well cost him millions in a massive divorce settlement....!!!!

Any divorce proceedings that were filed (assuming it gets that far on the strength of a story in the tabloids), his lawyers I assume would insist these photos were inadmissible. They were taken covertly without the permission of either party and what is going on is a matter for conjecture.

I would imagine his behaviour only amounts to assault if she presses charges. And frankly, you'd have a problem making that stick on the strength of those photos.

Maybe legally speaking these events are not evidence but the fact it happened and was witnessed and photographed and splashed onto the front covers of most tabloid newspapers does add some weight to Nigella's divorce petition.

Art collector Charles Saatchi says images of him grasping his wife, celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, by the neck show "a playful tiff".

The photos in the Sunday People were taken about a week ago outside a restaurant in Mayfair, central London.

"The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place," he reportedly told London's Evening Standard.

In Monday's Evening Standard, Mr Saatchi said: "About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella's neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasise my point.

"There was no grip, it was a playful tiff.

"Nigella's tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt.

"We had made up by the time we were home. The paparazzi were congregated outside our house after the story broke yesterday morning, so I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled."

Totally unbelievable ..... :rolleyes:

It really doesn't. It makes her a victim in the media, but it would add nothing at all to a divorce petition. Anyway, she wouldn't need her hand strengthened; it's easy enough to get a divorce. This whole thing is about selling newspapers. Nothing more.

I suppose the story could have been hyped up by the media, as I've said in one of my earlier posts not every picture tells the correct story.

My point to all of this is if she and her husband are having a difficult time and she is caught in a relationship which is becoming more and more physically abusive, this abuse may be kept hidden only happening in private. But as the relationship deteriorates the abuse will intensify and this may have been one of those times when Mr Saatchi lost control in a public place.

Now it may be she does want to leave him and get divorced but the grounds of that divorce would be hard to prove ie his word against hers. however this public display of aggression could strengthen her hand as part of a wider divorce petition citing physical and mental cruelty as the main reasons for the separation. Any Public knowledge of abusive behaviour by him could allow other witnesses to come forward and ultimately tip the size of any settlement well and truly in her favour...!!!!

It's not like he had his hands round her throat and his knee on her chest, is it. They're at a pavement table at a restaurant, surrounded by people, and I wouldn't say she looks particularly distressed. These photos would not help her in a divorce case.

His previous divorce has nothing to do with this, and for the record, around 1 in 5 divorces cite "unreasonable behaviour" so it's not like his case was unique.

And that's all from me. I think this story had had enough publicity.

No need to get all high and mighty just because you've had some legal training.

The points I raised in my last post are perfectly reasonable and other posters agree also that his behaviour however intended does not show him in a good light.......Nuff said !!!!!!

OK.......so you have good legal credentials, but I am not really concerned with the legalities of what constitutes evidence in a divorce case, I like thousands of other people see those pictures and think this man is grabbing his wife by the throat.....It may be playful or serious BUT its in public and now everyone has seen this.So the perception of this man is now that he has no respect for his wife...!!! grabbing her throat in Public (or private) is very disrespectful.

Irrespective of any potential divorce this episode does not show him in a good light.

guardian.co.uk, Monday 17 June 2013 15.14 BST

Was there a woman who saw those awful pictures of Nigella Lawson who didn't think "If he does this in public what does he do behind closed doors?" Not one that I have spoken to since they appeared. Some have said there is an issue about whether they should have appeared at all as they were in a private place. Actually Lawson and her husband, Charles Saatchi, were sitting in a courtyard outside an expensive restaurant in Mayfair where paparazzi always lurk. The pictures could have been taken by anyone with a mobile phone. No one appears to have intervened despite fellow diners eager to report Lawson's obvious distress. If a man had his hands round the throat of another man during a meal would the waiters have carried on as normal?
What is going on here? The police are now looking into the incident though Lawson has not reported it to them. The Community Safety Unit is making inquiries: it deals with hate crime and domestic violence. And we mustn't fall into the trap of using "domestic violence" to imply a kind of cosier or lesser violence. Of course there are cases of women abusing men but this looks like common or garden violence against women. It is indeed frighteningly common. A few months ago we saw pictures of Saatchi clamping his hand over her mouth apparently to shut her up.

Advertising guru Charles Saatchi has been cautioned by police for assaulting his wife Nigella Lawson at a restaurant.

The 70-year-old voluntarily attended a central London police station and accepted the caution after photographs emerged showing his hand around Lawson's neck.

Good ..... :thumbs:

Stupid cowardly man, she should start divorce proceedings immediately...!!!

A playful tiff? okay.

[joeysteele]

I see nothing remotely decent as to a man having his hand/s at a woman's throat,especially when it would seem clear there was some disagreement at best going on between them in public.

I am glad he has been cautioned and if Nigella had any sense she would get away from him in my view.
It is these so called playful things happening that often lead to far worse,I am aware that Nigella can likely stand up for herself but you don't leave your home for any period with your youngest son following a playful tiff.

[Kazanne]

Apparently Nigella is no longer living in the marital home Joey,so hopefully she is safe.

I agree. I don't think the photos are anywhere near as serious as the papers drummed them up to be but what they do show is an unhealthy relationship so I'm glad she's moved out of their marital home. Even if he was just being unusually condescending in trying to get her to stop speaking, I still think that's wildly inappropriate and at least she has the courage to not stand for that and has moved out. I know I would be fuming if someone I was dating put their hands round my neck or over my mouth, ESPECIALLY in public, how humiliating...!

Absolutely, anyone doing that to me would not get the chance to do so again.
I'd be off,away from them completely, it shows no decency or respect whatsoever.

[Z]

I have no respect for people who resort to physical violence in a romantic relationship as a way of dealing with problems; and while it may not have come to blows, I think he has no respect for her as a person if he's placing his hands over her mouth or round her neck, and that lack of respect in a relationship is in my opinion why domestic violence occurs. If he truly respected her as a person and as his partner, he wouldn't have placed his hands on her in that way, in my opinion.

Charles Saachi voluntarily walked into a police station, presumably to cut short this trial by media, where the only people who profit are the paps and the lawyers. Everyone wringing their hands about poor Nigella should bear in mind that this happened over a week ago, and no complaint was made by Nigella herself. So it looks like some people are far more upset than Nigella herself was.

Many victims of abuse are very slow to report their partners, mainly because they have been conditioned to believe they are at fault for their partners behaviour. Nigella has moved out that is far more telling than reporting him, he is after all a seriously rich man who can employ top lawyers to defend himself. He has attended a police station presumably on the advice of his lawyers to minimise the damage to his public persona, nothing more.

So your assumption is that Nigella has been conditioned by long-term abuse, again with absolutely no proof apart from your imagination. Nigella's not exactly a pauper herself, you know, and I'm sure could afford a pretty good lawyer. And yes, Saachi may well have been advised to take himself to the police. However, I have highlighted the operative word in your last sentence.

Yes look at the Camera you Punk
its going Worldwide

[joeysteele]

Going voluntarily to the police is likely only because he may have had a tip off they would be coming for him anyway in relation to this incident.

To be given the caution,he will have to have admitted committing an assault in a public place,had he been protesting his innocence or otherwise as to it being fun then the caution would not have been given to him and the matter probably taken further by the police.
To get away with a caution,he will have to have said he was guilty of it.

Well really in fact ,it was said in the press too that the police were looking into the incident anyway so he would have been rather foolish to not expect them going to talk to him at some stage.
He did only go once the story came out and was made known.

Isn't it more likely that he was just invited to "attend for interview" as many celebrities, like Tulisa recently, are ?

There's no need for secret "tip-offs", surely - they belong in the world of snitches, grasses and frames.

Indeed, that is a possibility too Omah, however if you read my post properly you will see I said he may have had a tip off,I did not say he had for certain.
No matter why,how or what the reason was he went to the police, he got a caution when he did for committing the assault.
That is enough for me.

I stated nothing for certain expect that he would have had to admit he committed assault to get away with that caution.
If he was innocent then he could have fought it had he wished to but he chose to take the caution and admit his guilt.

Having said that and really I shouldn't need to point his out, had he not gone after being invited to go by the police,then I think even he would have been pretty sure they would have at some point gone for him eventually since they were investigating the incident.

[joeysteele]

Ugh! What a scumbag! :nono:

I agree and for me as others said too earlier in this thread, if he was so uncontrolled to do this in a public place then my concern would be what could go on in private.

My hope would be that Nigella keeps away from him with her sons too.His admission of guilt in this incident and receiving the caution from the police won't look good for him in any possible divorce.

I just really like Nigella though and I hate to see this unacceptable behaviour anywhere from anyone.

[Omah]

Indeed, that is a possibility too Omah, however if you read my post properly you will see I said he may have had a tip off,I did not say he had for certain.

Even "may" implies that you propose the existence of an "unofficial communication channel" between the police force and a certain individual.

My hope would be that Nigella keeps away from him with her sons too.

Nigella's children are Cosima Thomasina (f, born 1994) and Bruno Paul (m, born 1996)

[joeysteele]

May means might,if I say I may have done something or may go somewhere it does not imply certainty that I have or will.
Just as you saying it was more likely he was invited by the police to attend, that is not certain either and at this point in time not something you yourself know for sure to be the case too.

Best end this here Omah because I don't, with the fullest respect to you as both a person and member, enjoy much in the way as to debating with you.
My apologies for that too but I guess we are just people who are poles apart.

I still cannot get over me thinking she had 2 sons to her first husband who died barely in his 40s, I think.
I would have argued that with others if it had come up in conversation so thanks to Omah for putting me right as to that.

Saatchi’s second wife, American-born art collector Kay Hartenstein, mother of his daughter Phoebe, 19, was dumped by Saatchi, who moved the newly-widowed Nigella and her children into his home in Eaton Square, Belgravia, barely nine months after Diamond’s death. Saatchi and Hartenstein then became embroiled in a bitter divorce fought on the grounds of his ‘unreasonable behaviour’ that ran up a £1 million legal bill.

Saatchi’s first marriage, to advertising executive Doris Lockhart, also ended when she divorced him citing ‘unreasonable behaviour’ after 17 years.

Saatchi’s third marriage - in the balance?

TROUBLED Nigella Lawson sits alone at a café table — ten days after another diner visit sparked a fateful row with her tycoon hubby.

The Domestic Goddess, 53, looked pale and drawn as she spoke on her mobile yesterday — notably minus her wedding ring — close to the Mayfair bolthole where she has been living apart from Charles Saatchi.

It was the first time the sexy chef had been seen in public since fleeing the couple’s home last Sunday.

Nigella left her £10,000-a-week rented apartment in central London shortly after 10am yesterday — WITHOUT her gold wedding band.

Unaccompanied and wearing little make-up, she appeared to have lost weight since she was last pictured leaving the family home, where Saatchi, 70, continues to live.

She paced just 20 yards to a restaurant for a late breakfast. But within seconds she walked out again to take a call on her phone, then trawled distractedly up and down the street, deep in conversation.

At one point Nigella, in knee-length boots, trousers and a blouse, grew so engrossed that she sat at the café table.

It is understood Nigella has been at the flat since Monday.

Of course, the ring may be off for cleaning or repair ..... :idc:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/nigella-lawson-wants-divorce-charles-1982779#ixzz2X0MDFmVf

Nigella Lawson is preparing to DIVORCE her abusive *husband in the wake of the Sunday People photographs that captured her being *throttled by him in public.

As she faces the biggest decision of her life, the woman the world knows as the “domestic goddess” has *confided in her loyal circle of friends, colleagues and advisers that she is on the verge of ending her 10-year marriage.

A well placed aide told how Nigella, 53, feels “broken and *desolate”.

If she takes him back her *flourishing career in the US could suffer if Nigella is viewed as a woman prepared to put up with domestic violence.

The aide, who has been in regular contact with her since the incident 10 days ago, said: “Her heart is bleeding right now. She wants out.

“Neither she nor Charles are *interested in counselling or trying to save the marriage. It seems they’re done and she is broken and desolate.”

The aide is among a group of friends who have spoken anonymously to the Sunday People.

Nigella’s heartache was clear when she was seen out and about on Friday with no sign of her wedding ring.

According to those close to her it was a sign that her intention to divorce Saatchi is all too real.

A legal adviser with links to the couple has told the Sunday People a separation agreement is expected to be drawn up shortly and a divorce *finalised in two years.

The adviser said: “It should be done confidentially and quietly and in a dignified manner.”

But should the divorce turn *acrimonious Nigella may face losing a chunk of her £20million fortune as most of her fame and earnings have come while married to him.

Another source, who has also *spoken to Nigella in the last seven days, said: “This is not how Nigella imagined her marriage might end but she realises it was the tipping point.

“The marriage has been under strain for some time but the *choking incident was the end.

“If anything it is a *relief for her that it could all be over very soon. There’s a sense she has *already moved on in her own head. Rather than *dwelling on the past she is already thinking about life without him.”

Another *matter Nigella’s friends say she will need to consider is how her relationship will affect her career in the US. She has just *finished a series there starring as a judge on a *reality TV show called The Taste.

Nigella is a domestic *goddess in American eyes too. To stay in a violent relationship could *harm her reputation as a strong woman.

The female source said: “Nigella’s friends know there will be no getting back together. If there was, her career in America would nose-dive. Charles comes across as a thug in an Armani suit after this whole sorry episode.”

Saatchi, according to friends, has become a cantankerous old man. One of Nigella’s confidantes said: “Saatchi used to be the king, regarded as the man who made Brit Art. Now he comes across as a grumpy old man.

“The 17-year age difference is *becoming a problem. When they first married it didn't seem so great .Now it is like an abyss. There are so many things that they don’t see eye to eye on.

“Nigella lives for food and parties while Charles is slowly starting to be just the opposite. Not many of Nigella’s friends like him but they tolerate him. He is quite old *fashioned.” Saatchi *divorced his first wife Doris in 1990 after 17 years of marriage.

His second wife Kay divorced him 12 years ago for unreasonable *behaviour after 11 years. They have one daughter, Phoebe, 19.

His estimated worth is £120million but divorce lawyer Vanessa Lloyd Platt said: “She would not be *entitled to his assets because he amassed most of them before the marriage.

“Anything they have amassed during the *marriage, such as *property bought together, they’d divide equally.”

Nigella Lawson could fly out to America soon in an attempt to escape the media spotlight surrounding her controversial marriage to Charles Saatchi.

Ms Lawson's plans to move out to America earlier than expected came as Mr Saatchi today said he was attempting to wipe his wife's nose.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, he said: 'Even domestic goddesses sometimes have a bit of snot in their nose. I was trying to fish it out'.

Fish out snot, eh ..... :rolleyes:

Hmmmm.... is there some inference there? I still say she's had an affair.
