Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson faces some serious allegations from her former assistants, sisters, Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, who accuse Lawson of taking drugs every day for ten years.
The Grillo sisters are standing trial for allegedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on luxury items with Lawson’s ex, Charles Saatchi’s business account. However, they argued that Lawson allowed them to spend the money in exchange of keeping quiet about her drug use.
According to CNN, Saatchi spoke in a London court on Friday, saying he never saw any evidence of Lawson taking drugs during their 10-year marriage.
He did testify that he believes what the Grillo sisters are accusing her of and stated he’s “bereft” that an email he wrote about the situation leaked to the media.
In the email, he told Lawson "Now the Grillos will get off on the basis that you were off your head on drugs and you allowed the sisters to spend whatever they liked, and yes, I believe every word the Grillos said."
