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.

Like laying on your back and seeing a cloud, you see whatever you want to see, it takes whatever shape you want it too, and before you know it, the cloud has passed and you are just staring into the sun. blinded.

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. It at least strengthens her hand if she sues for divorce on grounds of physical/Mental abuse.

From the daily mail article pictures i saw, she at one point is clearly looking at the cameras, also she is eating in a very public place. I think she knows damn well that she is being watched. if she actually was in any kind of distress or danger, why wouldn't she say no or stop him or cry out for help?

This all just feels like a publicity stunt to me.

Nigella Lawson is the new Amanda Bynes.

But in all seriousness, a lot of the "celebs" that get papped are looking at the camera. They can see them.

Sometimes they don't care about being discreet and will shove the camera in people's faces without another thought.

So, not necessarily proof of any stunt.

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...!!!!

Ziggy from BB8 said that Chanelle from BB8 liked being abused. He said that during sex once, she told him to hit her in the face, and he refused.

Some girls do get off on being abused.

Some girls get off on being smacked around and dominated. Maybe they have already talked about it, and she wanted him to treat her that way. It might be some sort of weird exhibitionism.

yes exactly, she's a public figure, and that didn't happen by accident, she's a public figure because she WANT'S to be in the public eye. It's not a stretch to think she might have exhibitionist tendencies.

Thumbs down Nigella Lawson images 'playful tiff', says Saatchi

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22935683

Quote:
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 .....

What husband holds his wife's neck across a restaurant table to "emphasise a point about the children" .....

Question If it's a 'playful tiff', what does a serious one look like?

Suzanne Moore

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

Quote:
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.

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.
