That is a bit oddHow come no US sites are picking up on this? Googling only brings up British sites. She's was on The Taste which I think was pretty popular.
She should call Bourdain over to fuck him up.
Those choking pictures look suspiciously like lymph node checking.
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.
god speed, and good on ya.

That is sickening and what a bastard of guy he is. He needs to go to jail for sometime.
The phenomena you're speaking of has been demonstrated and discussed for decades though. People in large groups tend to think that someone else will step up and that their intervention is not necessary. The most famous case of this is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese, something I'm sure you're familiar with.I am always weary of assuming that the anonymous mass known as "people" are a giant seething mass of stupidity while I (and a select few of my closest friends) are the only ones capable of making the obvious, rational, clear choices.
Generally speaking if almost everyone does X in a certain situation, it isn't because they are weaklings while only you are strong and intelligent, and if you were there you totally would have done Y. More likely, some significant psychosocial phenomena is at work that you are also influenced by, as you are not a special snowflake (nor am I).
It doesn't mean that the people involved are cowards or weak, it does however mean that humans have to understand their own social instincts and how best to govern them. I was in Toronto during the g8/g20 riots, right at the epicentre of the rioting and people running from police. Some cunt screamed "the rioters are coming back" And people immediately began running for their lives. I was there with my girlfriend so I was more focused on protecting her from the stampeding mob, but one guy in the middle of the crowd yelled "stop running" which I echoed as loud as I could and immediately the crowd became more placid. It was utter proof of people simply watching out for their own interests in the most short sighted manner possible, similar to the situation with nigella.
Good.

Good on her. Hope she leaves the dirtbag.

Police are inquiring into reports that the millionaire art collector Charles Saatchi gripped his wife, Nigella Lawson, by the throat several times during an argument outside a London restaurant.
Photographs of the incident at Scott's restaurant in Mayfair – where Saatchi and Lawson regularly dine on the terrace so that Saatchi can smoke – appeared in the Sunday People, part of the Mirror group.
The photographs were taken through the screen of olive trees and box shrubs that partly screen the terrace, but the row could reportedly be seen and heard by other customers and passersby.
An onlooker said Saatchi had gripped Lawson first with his left hand, then both, and that by the end of the meal, despite kissing him on the cheek at one point, she left the restaurant in tears. "It was utterly shocking to watch," the source said.
The story, and the ethics of its publication, were hotly debated on Twitter, with many shocked that people looked on and took photographs without making any attempt to intervene or call the police. One tweet suggested that whoever sold the photographs should donate the fee to domestic abuse charity Refuge.
The author and former MP Louise Mensch tweeted: "Every single person saying 'it's Nigella's business' and 'don't interfere in their marriage' is a man."
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said police are making inquiries, but have not launched a formal investigation.
"We are aware of the reports, and we are making inquiries to establish the facts – but that does not constitute an investigation. No allegation has been made, and we have not spoken to any of the principles."
The incident apparently happened a week ago, and there has been no response to the publication of the story from either Lawson or Saatchi, who married 10 years ago, after the death of her first husband, the journalist John Diamond.

I love Nigella Lawson so the last thing I want to see is something bad happening to her. Looking at the pictures of the incident was awful but knowing that she left her house makes me hopeful that she'll leave that idiot and move into a better situation.
Not only is he willing to do it in public, but also in a restaurant where she's surrounded by sharp utensils she could easily use to defend herself with. I can't imagine being attacked like that and not even trying to fight back. Must be pretty used to being abused.Holy shit, that poor woman. And if that's what he's willing to do in public where anyone can see...
I hope she runs away from that monster and never looks back. Better yet, throw him in jail for domestic abuse. Those pictures are chilling, ugh, I'm so fucking disgusted.
Nigella has to be the most attractive 53 year old there is. Even her husband doesn't look 70... It must be something in her food!
Good on her for leaving him. Hope she doesn't come back to him regardless of how many times he apologizes/grovels. There's no excuse for abuser.
Good for her.

A situation like that actually happened a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if it's the same gang or not, but yeah.Yeah, they were a gang that operated in the area for a while. Until they got caught. It was quite the master plan apart from the bit where they'd target the same bar and alleyway every week.
Even more reason to stay the hell away from here. Bournemouth is a shithole.
She may be leaving because of the scandal rather than the abuse - I'm very sure it wasn't the first time he has abused her. Still - leaving is leaving, I hope it sticks.

Those public photos may have been the best thing that happened to her and she may be able to use them to take the bastard for as much as she can.
Hopefully she can stay away and perhaps her story can help others in a similar situation.
lmao, love that CK bit
I just like to imagine the Sonny/Carlo scene with Bourdain/Saatchi.
i hope she's okay. it must be horrible to have something like this play out in the public eye, but hopefully that the exposure and support makes it easier for her to get away.
Good on her for leaving him but I hope she doesn't go back to him which unfortunately happens in a lot of abusive relationships.

I can't believe someone could harm her Nigella though - she has such a warm fun loving personality.
Rethinking why she staid with him so long, it may have been because she was trying to protect her kid.
I don't think she's that well known in the states. The only reason I know who she is is because I listen to NPR.How come no US sites are picking up on this? Googling only brings up British sites. She's was on The Taste which I think was pretty popular.

What a coward and a scumbag. He hasn't even got the guts to admit any fault whatsoever.Speaking to the London Evening Standard, 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.
"The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place. 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."
Lawson's spokesperson has been quoted as saying: "I can clarify that she has left the family home with her children."
Scotland Yard said that officers from the Community Safety Unit are "carrying out preliminary inquiries" after the photographs appeared in the Sunday People newspaper.

Wow, Nigella is 53?
I like: "so I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled." Dat control.hahaha, check out dat spin. "playful tiff that we reconciled. Oh and she's left the house and taken the kids."
What an utter fucknut. I would hate to work for him, a motivational speech from him would probably leave me in hospital.
I looked at the pictures and they are pretty weird.
Why exactly was he checking her nose?
I dunno, still it would have been better to have Nigella issue a statement.

Possibly, but I've actually been in almost identical situations and did something either verbally or physically that ended it. I believe I would do the same given a similar situation again. I'm not really seeing that as special, just the person I am. I know very few people that wouldn't do something when confronted with that.I am always weary of assuming that the anonymous mass known as "people" are a giant seething mass of stupidity while I (and a select few of my closest friends) are the only ones capable of making the obvious, rational, clear choices.

More likely, some significant psychosocial phenomena is at work that you are also influenced by, as you are not a special snowflake (nor am I).
Weak, no account is hyperbole to some degree, but is it really so hard to say, hey, stop hurting that person? I can see mass indecision, because I've seen it before, but this is a man physically abusing a woman in a restaurant. I'm sorry if you see that as just big upping myself, because that isn't my intent.
Good point, and without knowing more specifics it can be hard to say. The op sounds pretty bad though, but it's all context sometimes.Problem is, we don't know how long the violence took place for. We just have snapshots of a moment. We have no idea how many people were sat around them, how close they were, what they could see or hear. What we can see of the table next to theirs looks unoccupied and the "onlooker" they interviewed was almost certainly the paparazzo who will milk every single moment and make it as salacious as possible because of it's monetary worth.
Urhhh. I agree with him and it makes me feel scummy.Originally Posted by Cosmonaut X

Disgusting. I didn't read the article, but no one at the restaurant did anything? Someone should have messed this idiot up.
