14 DAY TRIAL // A little over a week ago, fans and the media were in an uproar as photos of Charles Saatchi apparently choking his wife of over 10 years Nigella Lawson emerged online. More photos snapped on the same occasion have hit the net.
This new set shows Saatchi apparently pulling Nigella’s nose in several painful ways, even sticking a thumb up one of her nostrils.
The Daily Mail notes that the photographer who took both sets told them that the whole thing lasted 27 very awkward minutes, during which times he clearly observed Saatchi abusing his wife.
This was no “playful tiff,” as Saatchi described the choking, and it’s definitely not a case where he was helping her clean her nose – as if she weren’t able to do that without assistance.
“Now it appears the wealthy art collector’s ugly physical manhandling of his wife went further than first realized and may have lasted as long as 27 minutes,” the tab writes.
“Disturbing photographs have emerged of Saatchi repeatedly tweaking and twisting Miss Lawson’s nose, and even putting a finger in one of her nostrils. She looks uncomfortable and upset throughout, and becomes tearful,” the Mail adds.
“The pictures were taken minutes after the infamous ‘throttling’ images were captured as the pair dined outside Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair earlier this month,” the report further says.
In a separate post, the Mail writes that Nigella has been telling friends that she still loves Saatchi and has no plans to leave him even though he has certain anger issues.
She also explains that she only moved out of their home after the pics went public because she’s waiting for this to blow over. In other words, she’s not really thinking of legal separation and will move back in as soon as people stop paying attention to them.
