"   It has been a terrible couple of weeks for Nigella Lawson after photographs emerged of the chef being seemingly throttled by her husband Charles Saatchi in public. Now, in the wake of those pictures, she is reported as being on the verge on filing fordivorce. The cookery star is said to have confided in friends about the subject of divorce. The friend, who let&amp;#039;s face it, isn&amp;#039;t really a friend if they&amp;#039;re chinwagging to the tabloids, has told Sunday People: &amp;quot;Her heart is bleeding right now. She wants out. &amp;quot;Neither she nor Charles are \u00ADinterested in counselling or trying to save the marriage. It seems they&amp;#039;re done and she is broken and desolate.&amp;quot; Nigella has been spotted out since the incident at London restaurant, Scott&amp;#039;s, and was seen without her wedding ring. Another &amp;#039;friend&amp;#039; has spoken out to the newspaper about Nigella&amp;#039;s state of mind: &amp;quot;This is not how Nigella imagined her marriage might end but she realises it was the tipping point. &amp;quot;The marriage has been under strain for some time but the \u00ADchoking incident was the end. &amp;quot;If anything it is a \u00ADrelief for her that it could all be over very soon. There&amp;#039;s a sense she has \u00ADalready moved on in her own head. Rather than \u00ADdwelling on the past she is already thinking about life without him.&amp;quot; Interestingly, the photographer who took those pictures has also spoken out about the attack. Jean-Paul wrote a piece for The Sunday People and said: &amp;quot;\u2026what I witnessed was 27 minutes of madness,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;what I saw outside that restaurant isn&amp;#039;t something you can brush under the carpet.&amp;quot;  The photographer addressed the concerns of why he didn&amp;#039;t step in to help, &amp;quot;People have asked why I didn&amp;#039;t intervene, why I didn&amp;#039;t go over. The answer is simple \u2013 I would have been arrested. I&amp;#039;m paparazzi so everyone hates you to begin with. &amp;quot;We are all lumped into the same \u00ADcategory but I wasn&amp;#039;t hounding her. The best thing I could do was carry on taking the \u00ADpictures because now everyone can see that Charles Saatchi is an abuser. There is no doubt about that in those pictures.&amp;quot; What do you think of the incident? Was Jean-Paul right not to step in, or do you think photographers should claim more responsibility?
