THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: Celebrity cook Nigella Lawson was “off her head” on drugs and let her assistants spend a fortune on a company credit card to keep quiet about it, a court has reportedly heard.
The court proceedings were reported by several British media, including Sky, The Daily Telegraph and The Independent.
Our clients have been the innocent pawns in a rather unpleasant battle going on between Mr Saatchi, Miss Lawson and their lawyersHowever, the court also heard that the allegation - that Lawson used cocaine, cannabis and prescription pills daily for over a decade - was “totally scurrilous and untrue”.
Two sisters who used to work as personal assistants to Lawson and her husband Charles Saatchi are on trial for fraud.
Italians Francesca Grillo, 41, and Elisabetto Grillo, 35, are accused of using the couple’s credit card to spend £300,000 ($530,000) on luxuries such as designer clothes and first-class air travel. » | Nick Miller | Europe Correspondent | Wednesday, November 27, 2013
