Tomorrow's Sunday People cover. Where do we even start with this?

yep stealthpolarbear that piece in the telegraph is written by a woman - a catholic woman.

Blows me away it really really does.

I really really hope someone can help her.

And some PR people will be making up stuff for the violent abuser. I really really hope some close friends or family help Nigella.

Roy Greenslade also says: The incident took place seven days before it was published and the couple went on living happily together afterwards. (my emphasis)
And then the very next sentence goes on about any comments from the neighbours being hearsay. What the hell is that happily then? Not even hearsay, just pulled out of his arse I presume.

SecondRow I pointed that out in my complaint by email. It's not at all logical to say that anyone else's comments are just hearsay when he freely states that they went on 'living happily together' - how would he know? Utter crap.

guessing if she's not dead she's assumed to be happy. because a bit of a slap or a choke every now and again is just what a loving husband does to keep his woman in her place, isn't it?

The Christine Odone article appears to be basically telling domestic abuse victims to put up and shut up. I can't understand why police shouldn't investigate an act of violence just because those involved are known to each other? What is she trying to say?
Disgraceful victim blaming.

Odone is a professional troll.

Is odious odone friends with Saatchi ?

CS's brushing off this incident as a "playful tiff" is typical of these powerful, high profile bullies, don't you think? They think they can behave however they like and are not accountable to anyone for their actions...

I see latest news that Stuart Hall got 15 months sentence. Wtf???? Another bully gets away with abuse...

So when I throttle DH later, playfully of course, I can say to the judge at the trial "But m'lord, I was only forcibly making my point" and I'll get off?
Utter bastard, hope his wizened cock gets the rot and falls off.

Oh she's a Catholic. There you go then - marriage above everything.

Odone I mean. Not all Catholics are like that about marriage but it is certainly a view held by some.

I know of a fair few Catholics who cringe when her name comes up. She is not helpful. To anyone, ever.

Christine Odone is an odious troll. She can't possibly believe half the things she writes.

I'm sure next time one of saatchi's art dealers disagrees with him he won't object to having said dealer put his hands playfully around his throat to emphasise his point.

I'll try it tomorrow actually, I've got a difficult case conference. If the client doesn't take mine and counsels advice I will put my hands around her throat, playfully but with emphasis until she agrees with me. Then she can leave my office in tears and I will tell the SRA it's all fine. I'm sure that will work.

Or maybe I will get struck off and she will call the police. I'll let you all know shall I?

From what I read of what Christine wrote a few years back, I thought she was ok.
Not any more.
Is she married?
So if her husband "jokingly" puts his hands around her throat.....

There are other pictures about of Mr Saatchi putting his hand across her mouth to stop her speaking are'nt there?
Guess that was a joke too?
How many jokes has he played?

He's clearly a really funny guy yam

Christine Odone seems to have worked with his brother Maurice

My husband once put his hands round my throat. It took me two months to LTB. I bet that because of all this publicity it will take Nigella less time than that.

So, while I deplore celeb tabloid stories in general, I think its a good thing this has been publicised. Men like this should be named and shamed. Obviously its awful that Nigella is in the limelight too, but I think running this story will turn out to be a case of "being cruel to be kind" it will be much much harder for her to continue making excuses for him now.

The whole point of her article seemed to be that the marriage was under threat and this Cannot be Allowed to happen

as though however shitty your marriage, well, it's more important to stay within it than to have any sort of happiness or self respect.

Fine if that's what floats her boat but it looks out and out bizarre to most sane people.

I see the story is making it to Channel 4 News tonight.

Abusive men probably shouldn't threaten marriage, along with their wives, then. Too obvious a conclusion?

Did someone say that Nigella is a Catholic?

I think Odone is the Catholic referred to above. Wiki lists Nigella as an atheist - she is of Jewish heritage.
