It’s been almost a year since the world saw the shocking photos of Charles Saatchi choking his then-wife, Nigella Lawson, in public. They were lunching at Saatchi’s favorite restaurant, Scotts in Mayfair, when the deed happened. I went back and looked at those photos again, and Nigella looks so scared. She’s doing well for herself these days. I wish her nothing but healing and happiness.
After the throttling incident, Nigella almost immediately moved out of the marital home. Saatchi received a mere police caution and explained the fight as “a playful tiff.” Then he tried to say he was only picking her nose. After Nigella refused to defend him, Saatchi filed for divorce and threatened suicide. He also said he was divorcing her because she was a raging cokehead (she wasn’t). Nigella admitted to occasional coke use in her past, and she described her marriage as “intimate terrorism.”
Saatchi unofficially “won” Scott’s restaurant in the divorce. He quickly started dating UK tellie presenter Trinny Woodall. She began to regularly dine with him at Scotts, and there are tons of paparazzi photos of them enjoying meals at the infamous “throttling” table. Trinny raved about Saatchi to the media and made an inappropriate joke: “It’s great that, at 50, life can still grab you by the throat and shake you up.”
After nine months of dating, Saatchi is showing his true colors again — in public. The Mail has photos of Trinny and Saatchi arguing as they dine at Scotts. You have to scroll down to the bottom of this article to see pictures of Trinny crying. That’s disturbing enough already, but wait until you read Saatchi’s email in response to the Mail’s inquiry:
It seems Charles Saatchi’s favourite table at Scott’s restaurant holds no bad memories for Trinny Woodall despite being reduced to tears at it last week. The TV presenter was spotted crying her eyes out last Saturday in the company of the advertising mogul, but hours later they were seen arriving at his house with her suitcases in tow.
Saatchi and Woodall returned to the scene of the teary crime on Sunday, as though to prove the point that they are happier than ever. It seems Trinny manged to put any issues from earlier in the day behind her to stay with the millionaire art collector last Saturday evening. Earlier in the day she had been seen apparently wiping back tears from her face outside the couple’s favourite restaurant in Mayfair.
The exchange comes almost a year after Saatchi was seen rowing with his now ex wife Nigella Lawson in exactly the same spot. His now girlfriend appeared to become overcome with emotion during their three hour lunch, however lawyers for both parties have denied there was an argument.
However the images are still likely to raise questions about whether the couple’s nine-month romance is on the rocks. Onlookers claim the pair were indeed arguing and Trinny, who barely touched her food, burst into tears as the argument escalated, hiding behind huge dark glasses and smoking anxiously.
“She was a bag of nerves,” said one onlooker. “Her hair looked all ruffled and her make up was smudged. At one stage she removed her sunglasses to wipe away tears.” The art mogul drank almost a full bottle of red wine and smoked copiously during the lunch at what has become their restaurant of choice.
Trinny was also smoking but does not drink. As the meal ended, Saatchi stalked off towards the taxi rank while Trinny sat alone at the table for a moment as if trying to compose herself. She then followed him to the waiting cab.
When contacted by The Mail on Sunday, Saatchi denied there had been an argument. He emailed: “Why not send a photographer to Scott’s tomorrow lunchtime, and I will give Trinny a good throttling in time for your deadline?”
[From Daily Mail]
Not only did Saatchi throw attitude when contacted by the Mail, but both his lawyers and Trinny’s lawyers denied that any argument took place. If you look at the pictures, they are clearly arguing about something. This whole situation is extremely scary, and I hope Trinny soon realizes that Saatchi is a violent creature who will never change.
Run, Trinny. Run.

Just like with a cheater, it should be no surprise when an abuser repeats the pattern with his next partner.
This will not be a popular comment but this woman knew from his past actions what this man was all about and even joked about it in an off hand way. No sympathy here for her. She is with him in spite of his reputation.
I agree with you. WTF was she thinking?
Oh my god I know!
Sorry, but this isn’t a case of a woman falling madly in love with a man only for him to slowly reveal that he is a violent misogynist.
He is a well-known abuser.
I really don’t want to victim-blame but WHY would she date this asshole? Does she honestly think things will be different with her?
She’s a beautiful and seemingly capable woman, he has ZERO redeeming qualities and he’s proven himself to be a very dangerous man.
I just don’t get it.
I don’t get it either!
But sadly it’s not unusual for some women to be deluded into thinking that they are the exception to the rule, even despite past history. Her comments at the time they hooked implied she didn’t take the situation seriously and she showed zero sensitivity for Nigella in flaunting her new relationship.
Like you, I find it hard to sympathise with her, but I’m inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt and suggest she was just a fool who is now a victim.
I hate to say this, but that type of man attracts that type of woman. NO SHE DOESN”T DESERVE IT. Let’s get that straight. I am not saying that. But this man is infamous everywhere, certainly in the U.K. so why would any woman in her right mind even look at him? Run, lady-and don’t look back.
I would have said that was harsh, but what Trinny said about the throttling in that joke was so horrible and spiteful that I’m inclined to say screw her. Her chickens came home to roost, and I’m sure it’s a lot less funny now it’s happening to her. I hope she gets out, but I don’t feel that sorry for her.

First of all, what a horrible POS this “man” is. He has some balls on him.
I do agree with you though. I felt a twinge of sympathy/empathy for her (abuse is abuse, even if the victim is a POS as well), but remember her joke about the same damn thing made me not feel too sorry for her, I must say. Plus, she’s denying that it happened so I doubt she’s in a hurry to leave. Of course she needs to get out, and hopefully she will (before he seriously hurts her).
I thought he made the throttling comment, not Trinny?
Agreed. I am still as appalled by the “joke” today as when Trinny first told it (I mean, who jokes about something like that? How is it even possible for an experienced adult to be that insensitive and tacky?), so I am the very picture of schadenfreude now!
+3
Az, Trinny made a comment about being shaken up or some such thing when she first started with Saatchi.
Totally agree. If she can make light of what happened to Nigella and even joke about it then it’s karma.
Wow, I didn’t even know about her having joked about the choking when I made my original comment. Yeah, definitely *zero* sympathy for her now.
Wow at this whole thread. Domestic violence is reprehensible even when the person it happened to made shitty jokes. The cycle of violence is seductive and powerful, especially for as experienced and wealthy an abuser as Saatchi. Even if she knew he had the potential for violence, that does NOT excuse Saatchi’s violence. There’s a time and a place to judge Trinny, and it’s not when she is currently experiencing serious, humiliating, life-threatening domestic abuse. There are a lot of different ways for abusers to hoodwink their victims and we don’t know how he manipulated her.
Look, I don’t like Trinny either, but I have sympathy for ANY person who is being violently abused. I am saddened to see these comments.
You’re right.
Where is anyone excusing Saatchi’s violence?
All I see in the comments are people trying to understand what would attract a woman to a know abuser. I don’t see anyone letting Saatchi off the hook.
Instead of lecturing people, you would do better to explain what motivates women to get into a relationship with a known abuser.
Calmly enlightening people instead of sermonizing is a more effective way to educate.
FTR, I think most of us would find it hard to understand how a woman would date a man whom she knew had killed, raped, or violently attacked another woman. I think this is a natural response from people-it’s hard to comprehend why a woman would not see the danger in that situation.
No one is defending him but I stand by my comment as well.
You do not go into a lion’s cage knowing the lion’s reputation. You will end up dead.
I was a victim of terrible abuse at the hands of my ex. If I had known he was a violent POS I would not have been with him. This woman had the advantage of being aware of his temper and behavior towards women, unlike 90% of the women who go into relationships completely unaware of the monsters they are soon to be with.
If you’re so against domestic abuse, focus on the abuser. Don’t blame the woman for her abuse. Very simple. No one deserves abuse, even if they knew they were getting into a relationship with someone who has an abusive past.
I don’t like Trinny, but right now, she’s not the one being violent. That’s Saatchi. Let’s focus on him and how much he sucks, not concern-troll her choices.
@KennyBoy.Ok. My apologies to you and others I offended with my personal opinion. It was not my intent to anger nor sound as if I was defending Saatchi.
Who would defend him? He is a hideous freak and abuser. That said, WE ALL KNEW IT, and so did she. No sympathy.
Thanks Eliza, I appreciate that. I am sorry to hear about your abuse and I’m glad you got out. I’m not trying to lecture, these comments just hit me hard and affected me emotionally. It’s really scary to see people focus so much vitriol on a woman who is in the middle of a terrible situation that is not her fault.
I really don’t like Trinny at all, but I feel so strongly that domestic abuse is such a huge wrong, and there’s still a huge stigma against the victim and not the abuser. I’m all about giving her shit when she makes shitty comments, but not upon the news that she’s undergoing abuse.
@Liberty – we don’t know what she knew, is the thing. Maybe she knew and thought it wouldn’t happen to her. Maybe she doesn’t have great judgement. These are not sins for which she should be beaten. In any case, right now she is not the one to blame. Saatchi is.
Of course this woman deserves sympathy!
Let’s assume she’s a horrible person – horrible people can be victims, too. We can dissociate her horrible personality from what was inflicted upon her – or so I hope. The contrary would be that we’d only support likeable victims.
@KennyBoy- I do understand your point and thank you for the kind words.
I think my past experience toughened me up and maybe too much. I NEVER excuse an abuser. I simply will never understand a person who knows the horrible reputation of an abusive man or woman and still ventures into a relationship with them. As if the abuse of other women is not enough to tell you “This man is a sick, violent, mental patient”.
He IS the one we should focus on. I wish no woman harm. I suppose I have just dealt with my situation a bit differently to recover emotionally.
THANK YOU videli!!!! We can’t only support the victims who make it easy to sympathize. If you are against domestic violence, you should be against ALL domestic violence equally.
Yes and no. I’m also with OKitt on this one. I’ll happily go on the record and say that Saatchi is a piece of human garbage who should be in prison, and probably castrated. That said, I do feel like to paint these women as simply victims of a serial predator is to infantilize them, particularly Trinny, who consciously chose a wealthy and well-connected man who was in the heat of a very indisputable scandal about his violence towards women. It’s not about weakness, or falling in love, it’s about avoiding the d*ck at the bar the moment he hits on you. When Trinny made that comment publicly, she attempted to bully a woman and extend the public humiliation she was facing. She meanly sided with the clear-cut a-hole in this situation, demonstrating her public spite, presumably to endear herself to him, and now he’s turned on her. It doesn’t make her less of a victim now he’s hurting her, and I certainly hope she is strong enough to get out, but I’m not as sympathetic to someone who consciously engaged in the bullying of a publicly battered wife. I’m just not. That’s not the same thing as wishing her ill, or blaming her at all, but I think what Trinny has illustrated here is the VERY fine line between making a sh*tty decision and getting caught in the cycle of abuse in a extant relationship. To me, what she did reminded me of one of those women who writes letters to men in jail. I just plain don’t get it.
I’m with you, Kenny.
T. Fanty said it much better than I.
“That said, I do feel like to paint these women as simply victims of a serial predator is to infantilize them”
Exactly. At some point, it becomes incredibly disempowering and IMO not helpful at all for the woman who places herself in the hands of a known abuser.
@ T.Fanty
Thank you for so eloquently expressing what I couldn’t.
Is it really that hard to differentiate between a woman making a choice on the rational evaluation (or lack thereof) of her future partner and the fact that whether she made a rational choice or not it doesn’t give the partner the right to abuse her? Those are two different things. Was it bad judgment on her part or an underestimation of what he’s capable of – probably so, but that is not a crime, it’s a mistake that can happen to anyone. If we go down the route of “why did she get herself into this situation in the first place”, we’re doing the abuser’s job of blaming the victim for him. Well done.
It’s perfectly reasonable to discuss and wonder why someone would see photos of a man abusing his wife and say, ‘Hey, he’s a catch! I’m going to date him! And how funny it is that he did that! HaHaHa! Look at my funny puns about it!’
I’m with T.Fant. I do not condone abuse or this rotten man. However, there is accountability on Trinny’s part – not for any abuse he might target on her, but for hooking up with a man she knew was abusive and who damaged (what should be) a sister in the eyes of mankind. I felt the same way about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. She knew he was a cheater. She knew he was immoral and yet she married him and was bringing and adoptive child into it. What do these women tell themselves? I’m different? She deserved it? I see Trinny as willing to play the game and put on a front to hide it and protect him in order to continue living the life he can afford and she cannot on her own. That is a choice. If he get’s busted physically harming her, I hope he does time in the Clink.
Well, yes, it is reasonable to marvel at all you said, Claire, I’m perplexed by even less when it comes to some women’s choices, for instance by the fact that Glenn Beck is somebody’s husband, and he’s not an abuser, as known. But even the shade of a shade of the implication that bitch had it coming and abuse is a teachable moment is unnerving.
Nobody is excusing Saatchi’s behaviour, but everyone is wondering why Trinny got involved with someone whose abusive behaviour towards his ex-wife is well-documented. I compare it to this – if you are driving along a road and you come across a roadblock with a sign that says “Extreme danger – do not proceed” , do you turn back, or do you ignore the sign, drive around the roadblock and keep on going towards the danger?
Very well said TFanty.
I think we can probably all agree that he’s a horrible, abusive monster, AND at the same time wonder what on earth she was thinking, getting involved with him and being flippant about him abusing Nigella as she did.
I don’t entirely agree with you, but I can see where you’re coming from. I feel sorry for anyone who is terrorized by domestic abuse.
Having said that, she is a grade-a b!tch, isn’t she, having made that “life grabs you by the throat” comment. This almost feels like karma now. And it is hard to muster any sympathy for someone who can go online or pick up a paper or, heck, turn on the channel she works for! – and find out that her boyfriend is an abusive a-hole.
But I do feel sorry for her – no one deserves to be the victim of domestic violence. Even rude, nasty people like Trinny Whatserface.
Yes, she is, and that’s why I have little sympathy for her. She runs a television show where she gets paid millions to treat women poorly for appearance based reasons and then makes a comment that is in such embarrassingly poor taste that it isn’t even worth repeating. She is in a relationship with an abuser because money and attention are her values. She has chosen this for herself with open eyes. If one wants to have sympathy for her, feel bad that her values are so whacked that this is what she’s willing to tolerate.
T. Fanty. Well said.
Even if he is wealthy, it’s not worth it.
Your comment is popular with me. It was the first thing I thought of – she already knew he was abusive. What does she tell herself? She’s different or worse, Nigella somehow asked for it? I have no sympathy for Trinny. She wants the lifestyle and is willing to put out a false perception to get it. She’s going to be an isolated lonely woman very soon.
Not making excuses for her, but maybe Trinny has her own mental issues going on? I mean, why would she want to be with someone like Saatchi? Is it just for the fame? Also, it speaks volumes about her character that she made such a crass joke about “life grabbing you by the throat”.
Don’t worry about being ‘popular’- your comment is completely justified. Of course one has to question her motives here. I can only guess it’s the lifestyle/connections she’s after. Because next to being abusive, this man actually is also boring. For years, he’s eating at the same table, smoking and drinking, and he obviously loves to listen to himself. He wants a slave, and she is willing to put up with it. Trinny must be very desperate, so I can’t pitty her. There must have been warnings from friends/relatives, but she seems to ignore them, and even jokes about things that are not funny at all. Perhaps she’s thinking she is gonna be the exception- but it’s not about her, but him. And he simply won’t change.
No, you’re entirely correct. She’s with him in spite of his reputation and possibly because of his high profile which makes her judgement questionable on both counts.
He has no remorse for it and probably did worse in private.
Who would expect change from someone who never regretted his actions?
He doesn’t care at all. Gives no sheets about abusing women in public.
She said recently “It’s great that, at 50, life can still grab you by the throat and shake you up,”. I don;t think it was an unintended pun.. No sympathy from me.
He later said that they were consciously uncoupling lmao.
I was disgusted when she made that ridiculous “grab you by the throat” comment last year, but now I just feel sorry for this woman. The photos taken after their fight are so obviously staged to convince us they are happy, and in turn it’s just painful to look at.
Urgh.
F— this guy. Seriously.
What is it with him and this restaurant? Is the food that bad it’s sending him into a rage?
control, control, control.
with some control thrown in.
It’s very disappointing to see people blaming a victim of domestic violence for the abuse she’s undergoing. Not cool at all. Negative, scolding, well-you-should-have-known-better comments only make it harder for victims to leave abusive situation.
I don’t think it was a good idea to get with Saatchi, and I AM judging her jokes about the abuse Nigella recieved. But Trinny is not responsible for his abuse, and like Bedhead, I only hope she is able to leave the relationship very soon, because NO ONE deserves physical or emotional violence.
She’s not some poor, destitute housewife with battered wife syndrome, but a highly successful woman in her own right who is seemingly independent who thought it acceptable to ridicule another woman for being a victim of violence. I’m not going to go so far as to say she ‘deserved’ it but the universe has ways of running checks and balances on this type of asinine behavior.
So only poor, destitute housewives don’t deserve to be abused? The universe set her up for this? No one deserves physical violence!!! I can’t believe I am in the minority here.
This. Trinny thought it was hilarious to make a cruel joke about how Nigella was treated by Saachi. Where was Trinny’s sensitivity chip? Nope. Zero effs for Trinny.
Of course not. I didn’t say that she deserves this. In fact, I clearly state that that wasn’t what I was saying.
She knowingly walked into a relationship with a man with atrocious publicly documentated reputation as an abuser and is in a better position than most to leave of her own accord.
Really…It’s like knowing the stove is hot and wondering why you got burned after willfully sticking your hand in.
I made the battered wife comparison to illustrate the power dynamic that keeps many women locked in these types of relationships.
Who knows what psychological complexities that attract her to this man that belie her status, but I maintain that she was dead ass wrong for what she said and shouldn’t be surprised that he’s starting in on her.
Commenters around here have very staunchly spoken up about domestic violence and continually talked about the cycle of abuse. But Trinny got romantically involved with a man who very, very publicly choked his wife. She knew what kind of man he was going in to the relationship, but for whatever reason (I suspect its the money and the notoriety) she decided to go for it. Of course she doesn’t deserve to be abused, but usually the first step in that is not to date a known abuser. It would be like dating Charlie Sheen – it is just a bad, bad choice.
Well the commenters around here certainly have very selective standards about who does and doesn’t deserve blame when they are being abused in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence is reprehensible and no one deserves it, full stop. I can’t believe I have to argue this again and again. This is BASIC stuff.
I agree that it was a bad bad choice. But you know what wasn’t her choice? The physical violence. She is being abused and all we’re talking about is how she made her bed and has to lie in it! This is 1950s rhetoric. I’m not telling anyone to give her a pass – I’ve said, several times, that it was a gross comment. But that doesn’t mean that she should be hit or beaten because that’s what the universe wants.
Can we just please focus on Saatchi and not blame his victim? No one has to say “oh, Trinny is great!” I don’t like Trinny at ALL. She is clearly a jerk, but she does not deserve abuse. Just focus on how despicable Saatchi is, because he is the one who is being violent and abusive.
When women abuse people often swipe it under the rug (see Solange-Jay Z). I don’t and Trinny’s ‘joke’ indicate that she is or can be, just as nasty as her ‘boyfriend’ Saatchi. Some people are not good people, men or women. Trinny has been through a lot but at a certain point, you have to look at your life and your choices and take some responsibility.
She consciously made the choice to start dating an abuser. I’m sorry, but she needs to be culpable there. She doesn’t deserve to be abused, but she is a woman of means, of social standing, who went into this relationship knowing all the facts. The reason why people aren’t condemning Saatchi more? Bevause he has been so thoroughly condemned already that again, it is like her choosing to date Charlie Sheen.
Kenny Boy, we’re going to have to disagree on this one.
Let me state that I don’t condone violence as a proper means of engagement. Saatchi is a vile human being of the lowest order -entitled, megalomaniacal, and narcissistic.
And my apologies if my sensibilities seem draconian, but I believe that if people court disaster…..disaster is what they’ll get. Especially if they are glib and dismissive about someone who was the same position. Doesn’t make it right. It doesn’t make it excusable. What it is, however, is causal. You get with a known abuser, chances are he will…well….abuse you.
@ViktoryGin:
I agree. If Trinny wouldn’t have ‘joked’ about that incident, people would defend her (more).
It’s because she slyly acknowledged Nigella and therefore DV, that she’s in this mess where people don’t care for well-being. She made it aware that she knew of Saatchi’s behaviour and she sided with the abuser. She didn’t have to let it be known, keep it in your rich inner circle but no, she had to say something AGAINST a woman who went through hell during that time.
Obviously, I hope he doesn’t hurt her (in any way) but she didn’t have to go there with that joke and she showed how disrespectful and plain cold she can be towards people in pain. Which is astonishing considering her past.
After the throat-incident, Saatchi and his friends and family did everything to destroy Nigella. Trinny W. was a big part of that: look at this gorgeous, young, accomplished woman dating Saatchi, surely he can’t be that horrible? Her ‘joke’ was one of many comments of Saatchi’s female friends to shade/insult Nigella. And the full ‘joke’ is just shade against DV in general. Her agreeing with that type of PR-shenanigans almost the second after that poor woman was attacked in public shows she’s just as calculated, cold and dare I say abusive as this asshole. We all know she’s rich so it’s not for the money. And it certainly isn’t for his looks either.
They both knew that Scott’s would be the place they would be seen and both their behaviour is appalling and attention seeking. She was seen stumbling in the taxi and as a recovered drug abuser (coke and booze); not a good look. Nigella’s name was slandered as a ‘coke addict’ but Trinny who IS a self-confirmed mess is displaying cringe-worthy behaviour for the world to see has the nerve to shade a DV victim? Ok then girl, Nigella is 10x as strong as Trinny and doesn’t need to kick people who are down to make herself feel better.
The whole world knew about the throat-incident, a picture says more than a thousand words, Nigella was on trial for the abuse she went through, Trinny can’t claim she was sucked in by charming man. He’s vile and she’s messy, if she chooses to enter a relationship under THOSE circumstances, then I’m willing to believe it’s all for PR. Nigella lost her husband and was very vulnerable; she WAS sucked in as he charmed her pants off and was basically there for her as a shoulder to cry on. Trinny associated herself with Saatchi and made it pretty clear who’s side she was on and I think it’s all for business. The Saatchi brand is not one to trifle with, anybody who sides him/herself with it, is pretty much showing their colours.
+1 Totally my interpretation of it. She is just as bad as he is. Two users and abusers don’t make anything right.
Thank you. She is verbally and emotionally abusive herself.
No one deserves it, but she wasn’t the victim when she was making her throttle comments. I find it completely crass and pathetic a comment to make. Ultimately, I hope she now sees her error for making such an ignorant remark, and understands how Nigella must have felt. Hopefully she can move on in a healthy way.
I agree. She was mean spirited and callous; and while I don’t wish her any harm, necessarily, you reap what you sow.
I love her outfit in the very first picture. Want it all.
Agree the blue jeans and the shoes are great.
I can not see the picture of them arguing, if it was the last picture i see it more as someone telling a story and the other listening. if i mistaken please where can i see it?
There is a link in the story to the Daily Mail–the photos are not featured here.
I can’t help but believe that she, and possibly Nigella, are attracted to the dollar signs, not the man. They tolerate it until they can’t stand it anymore and/or become publicly humiliated and then move on. It’s sad. He’s not handsome, he’s old and he’s mean. Why would anyone be with him apart from the bank account?
Nigella got with him during her husband’s illness. She was very vulnerable and being the child of an abusive mother, I think she didn’t want to confront her pain. Drugs didn’t do it for her but I think the over-idealization of love did. She loved John Diamond so much as she’s naturally caring, selfless and romantic and when he was dying, she basically took up with Saatchi who wasn’t mean to her and married him pretty quickly.
Both Trinny and Nigella are very rich in their own right and don’t need Saatchi per se for money unless they’re very greedy; Nigella isn’t (by all accounts and confirmed by the trial, very giving). In fact, both women came from a good background and had the ambition to make more money on their own at which they are very successful at.
It was quite the opposite – Nigella comes from big money and made a ton of money with her cooking career. It was Saatchi who took advantage of her while her husband was dying. She’s often said she’s never happier than when she’s in the bosom of her family – Saatchi saw the opportunity and went for it. He’s a mean, cold, calculating b*stard and Trinny is an idiot to take up with him.
Though she was a complete horse’s ass for her earlier comments at NL’s expense, I hope she has the strength and wherewithal to get herself the hell out of there, as NL did. TW needs to run, and run fast.
It was made public the violent handling of Lawson by this crazy crack head guy so if she chooses to think that he would never do this to her then I don’t feel sorry for her.
Such a sad situation. I do feel sorry for her but she’s not a child and if she wanted out of this relationship she could leave. I’m kind of offended by the people who treat her like she’s poor orphan annie who had no idea what she walking into. She knew exactly what she was getting when she got together with this POS. She’s an adult and I agree with the others who hate this kind of infintalizing of women as if they need their hands held and “there there’d” and led gently to see the light. She’s an intelligent adult. No one here would have half as much sympathy if some man was being mentally or physically abused by some known psychopathic female celebrity. We’d all say the same “it’s sad but he should have known better”.
She’s an idiot. Maybe she’s one of those romantics who thinks she could change him though I doubt it.
Apart from that, Saatchi is getting really old. Death is going be staring at him not that far down the road. And this is what he’ll be remembered for, that’s he’s a violent, misogynistic , abusive THUG- not his achievements, etc. Good.
Two narcissist a-holes, quite frankly they deserve each other. I wish Scott’s would just tell him to sling his hook as I refuse to eat there again whilst they entertain him seemingly daily.
Trinny must have very low self-esteem for getting involved with that beyond awful POS. And while she has no excuse for that life is grabbing you by the throat remark, I wouldn’t be surprised if “somebody else” made her say that, just to taunt Nigella.
I don’t like the idea of a man physically or emotionally abusing any woman. This Trinny person has repeatedly gone after Nigella, whose abuse was caught on camera, her pathetic excuse for an ex husband angry because she wouldn’t lie to make him look better. It seems Trinny is already getting hers, you cuddle a scorpion or viper you will be bit. Saatchi is a violent control freak, he’s elderly and gotten away with it due to his money for years and many relationships, he won’t stop or change. The only true punishment is that his Nigella is gone forever and that has made him miserable. Trinny is not Nigella’s replacement, and never will be.
