  • On Today's Docket: Celebrity chef photographed being reported choked by husband

    Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson was photographed being choked repeatedly by her husband at a London restaurant, according to a report in the UK press.

     

    Charles Saatchi, 70, grabbed Lawson, 53, by the neck several times according to the Daily Mirror, which ran several photographs in the paper and on its website.

     

    After the meal, Lawson was also photographed crying outside the restaurant.

     

    "It was utterly shocking to watch," a witness was quoted as saying. "I have no doubt she was scared. It was horrific, really. She was very tearful and was constantly dabbing her eyes.".
