Nigella: ‘I’ve endured a summer of abuse and bullying’

Nigella Lawson accused her ex-husband, Charles Saatchi, of threatening to “destroy” her.

The celebrity cook told the court she had been “put on trial” over false allegations of drug use and had endured a “summer of bullying and abuse”.

Ms Lawson told the court the “awful incident at Scotts [restaurant]”, when Mr Saatchi was photographed holding her by the throat, was followed by false allegations of drug use against her on a “PR blog”.
