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

Oh God that is horrendous :(

Look in the gallery of pictures and see how the man grabs her neck and then pulls her nose upwards.

I hope he is fucking arrested.

LTB Nigella.

Can't believe that anyone decided to take a series of photos rather than walking over and asking if she was OK.

EleanorFarjeon · 15/06/2013 23:11

She doesn't exactly look upset - he may have been feeling her tonsils!

A literal snap shot - it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Kneedeepindaisies · 15/06/2013 23:12

Poor Nigella. Awful to have to suffer this and have it all over the papers.

What a fucking prick this man is.

BoffinMum · 15/06/2013 23:12

K8, quite, I am just as shocked at the public nature of this but I do hope the police deal with it properly.

Eleanor, see the link with the gallery set of pictures and it looks a lot meaner.

Seeing those second pictures I can't believe the restaurant didn't call the police. That's a sustained assault.
Doesn't the Mirror tell a familar story - she's happy, doing well and confident. He doesn't feel so great about himself so how can he control her - with his fists. I hope the police are on their way round right now to arrest him.

BoffinMum · 15/06/2013 23:13

Eleanor look at each of these pictures

It's the one where he yanks up her nose that upsets me the most.

What an absolute cunt.

Northernlurker · 15/06/2013 23:16

It IS a violent assault.

Her family and friends are going to see those pictures. I hope they can find some strength to help her. I think she should leave but even for a famous and successful person that's very hard to do.

EleanorFarjeon · 15/06/2013 23:18

Nope. Still not getting the outrage. He's holding her hand in many of the pictures. It could be interpreted in different ways imo. I wouldn't automatically assume something sinister.

Look, it's awful either way. Either she's living with a violent man or her private life is being plastered everywhere, or even worse, both.

BoffinMum · 15/06/2013 23:20

Eleanore, what do you attribute the nose grabbing to?

OP posts:
PicklePants · 15/06/2013 23:20

What a nasty piece of work. I hope he is dealt with by the police and that Nigella gets away from the sorry excuse for a human being.

Sickening.

Helpyourself · 15/06/2013 23:21
Sad I'm afraid if he'll do that in public... God, what an utter bastard.
Northernlurker · 15/06/2013 23:22

Eleanor I've been married nearly 16 years, known my husband for 18. How many times do you think he's put his hand round my neck?

The answer is zero. There's never any need to do that. It's not open to interpretation. It's assault. You should be ashamed of yourself apologising for him.

Helpyourself · 15/06/2013 23:22

Why wouldn't you think he's abusing her Eleanor? Confused

PareyMortas · 15/06/2013 23:23

I want to scoop her up and keep her safe. I hope her friends and family will support her.
