LONDON (AP) — Prominent art collector Charles Saatchi said Sunday he is divorcing his celebrity chef wife Nigella Lawson because she did not publicly defend his reputation after images emerged of him grasping her throat in a posh London restaurant.
...
The Mail on Sunday said that Lawson was not made aware of the divorce move prior to publication.

So, he is divorcing her, telling this to the news before telling her. All this, for not defending his abuse.

Some people just feel so entitled. This is an abuser shifting blame to the victim.

1. She's well rid of him.

3. Agreed!

Guy seems clueless.

2. Sick thinkin

What a frickin entitled jackass. The pics ought to be enough for her to prevail in any lengthly divorce proceeding.

[Xyzse]

5. Yeah... Then to cite the reason

Oh, she didn't defend me makes things look even worse.

4. He comes off as a narcissist and a control freak.

He said he is divorcing her for not defending him after he choked her. This is one marriage that should not be saved!

6. This is classic abuser behavior - "Look what you made me do to you!"

I hope she never has to worry about the evil bastage again.

7. So... That makes the divorce easier, quicker and cheaper for her.

That is a level of self-important, entitled jack hole usually reserved for Neocons.

8. One of the many things that were offensive in that event was his clamping his hand

over her nose. I believe the media called it 'tweaking'. This asshole tried to defend it by saying that, in essence, she had a booger hanging out of her nose and he was trying to remove it. First of all - bull fucking shit. Secondly, who picks their spouse's nose at all, much less in a public space?? The normal thing would be to discreetly inform them of the problem, perhaps offer them your handkerchief if they didn't have one, etc. But to try and excuse your behavior by claiming that you were picking your wife's boogers? It transfers the blame and embarrassment onto her, which is typical abuser behavior. He is too fucking disgusting.

10. He can pick his spouse and he can pick his nose

But as an abusive asshole he should keep his hands to himself and keep is idiot mouth shut.

9. While Saatchi is known for his art collection, his fortune comes from advertizing and we should

credit that industry with the actions of their own leaders. Art collecting is his hobby, his profession is advertizing. Calling him an 'art collector' is like calling Jay Leno a mechanic. Correct but not fully accurate.

11. Good riddance

The photos and that insane remark should guarantee that Nigella will be comfortable for years to come (although I'm not familiar with UK divorce laws, I can't imagine that she won't be receiving a good chunk of change.)

12. I hope she gets half his fortune ...

not that she needs it - but it will be fun to hurt this prick where it hurts most

- but alas I guess he pro'lly has a pre-nup protecting him
