Well-known British chef, Nigella Lawson, 53, famous for
her television cookery shows and line of books on cuisine, was publicly
choked by her husband, Charles Saatchi, 70, in
one of the couple's favorite Mayfair restaurants, Scotts, located in London, England.
Witnesses and paparazzi spoke of the incident to the press,
stating the couple were having lunch and began arguing.

Shortly after, Saatchi began choking Lawson, who erupted in tears at
his shocking conduct. He repeatedly put his fingers around her neck and
squeezed, causing her visible discomfort. Police are investigating the
incident as one of domestic violence. Lawson, the mother of three
minors, was later seen leaving the couple's multi-million dollar
Chelsea home in London, carrying suitcases. Saatchi, a wealthy gallery owner, is known for likening himself to
the devil in promotional items regarding his work. Now he's behaving
like him as well, via attacking his wife in what onlookers indicate was
an unprovoked incident.
