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.

She's pretty much the last person you'd expect to find herself in an abusive relationship. She's independently wealthy and highly desirable.

Not that surprising. Some women like that won't settle for anything below their status. And she's already at the top of the social echelon, so some billionaire alpha-male might seem like quite the catch. He's already 'manly' enough in that he's gone out into the world and took what he wanted and made his accomplishments. Probably feels like nothing in the world can stop him. Also able to be a menacing dickhead.

This is quite shocking, I couldn't imagine her to be the type to put up with that sort of thing. I remember reading she has a grown up son from a previous marriage I think, hopefully he gives the old bastard a taste of his own medicine.

What kind of a place is this where someone can attack a woman in broad daylight, in public and not get immediately have the snot beaten out of him? I've seen this happen only once in my life. Some asshole in a car started yelling at a woman really loud and the started slapping her while they were parked. You know what happened? Men from the neighborhood gathered, pulled him out of the car, called the police and then kept him occupied until they got there. By beating him up. What kind of pussies can watch this go down and not intervene?

Yeah. This is where I lose all sympathy. I get that it's always more difficult when you are in the situation, but that is a part of being an adult.

What?! You lose all sympathy when an abuse victim is afraid to leave a relationship? Do you know how an abusive relationship works? The abuser fucks with your mental state and makes their victim feel powerless, helpless, and incapable of escape. Even worse, some victims' self esteem gets so destroyed that they think they deserve to be abused. It's a constant state of trying to appease their abuser and, when that doesn't work, rationalizing the violence with self-blame.

I really hope I'm misunderstanding your statements, otherwise that's an incredibly ignorant and loathsome thing to say.

Okay, I swear I'll stop editing after this but fucking seriously? "why do women do this shit"?! How about you ask why the fuck her husband has his hands around her neck. You're right, she's totally asking for more. Nailed it, genius.

It's sad how misunderstood the psychologies of the abused yet remains to many. It's the same thing we see in children who justify or rationalize their parents' abuse.

Looking at those pictures it seems they were taken from the other side of the window so I'd imagine it was a paparazzi outside and we all know what scumbags they are.
