Oh so you want the teenager who was abandoned to pick up the phone? Isn't it Nigella the adult who walked out of her life that should be calling her?
If it was roles reserved and Saatchi walked out and did not have contact with his step children, he would be condemned.
She walked out because he told her to go, so Nigella was made to leave.
As the reason for the divorce seems to be a very delicate matter (from the photo's taken that could be deemed as spouse abuse) and there could be other reasons we have not been made privy too, how EASY to you think it would be for Nigella to phone her, when it was her father's actions that are the reason for the divorce?
When you lose a loved one or go through a divorce/ separation, the person that has happened to are not the ones who should be phoning around everyone to ask "if they are o.k". It's the other way round.

This young WOMAN has her own mother ..so how has she been abandoned by Nigella?and from the sounds of it Saatchi hasn't had contact with his step kids either... Should we be abusing him??.
According to several separate comments in the DM she was invited to go with Nigella and family on holiday to new York - she refused! If that is true how can she say she has been abandoned? That very comment makes it sound like a poor little waif left in the gutter to starve! Nigella is keeping a dignified silence which makes a refreshing change from celebs who can't wait to sell their stories. I guess it's normal for a teenager to side with her father regardless but she would have done him more of a favour by keeping quiet than doing this silly story - which just sounds likes either spite or manipulation.
Charles Saatchi comes across as an extremely unpleasant control freak - to the point of actually having a personality disorder (maybe a narcissistic personality disorder?). His concerns seem to be all about how he 'looks' rather than actually caring about anyone else. His poor daughter. Nigella is well rid poor woman.
So she cant be the adult and do the right thing? Seems you are excusing her for abandoning her step daughter. A mean spirited thing to take it out on her.
I think Nigella needs to stay away from the whole lot of them. There is only one person coming out of this with any dignity.

I agree I cannot see that she was abandoned when she was invited to go to New York by Nigella?
I really don't understand the need to have a go at someone who has made it clear will not talk to the press so both sides of the story are not known.It is time like this when I feel sorry for celebs it must be frustrating to have people saying all sorts of things about them that they have no idea what is really going on.
Man strangles wife in public, seeks divorce, receives it, blames her for not wanting to come back to England to spend time with her adult stepdaughter in the city where she was strangled where the man still resides, invites her on holiday to New York instead, has offer rejected. Is that about the sum of it?
I'm sorry, all I see is a woman who doesn't want to be in the vicinity of the man who attacked and divorced her and had her offer to spend time with her stepdaughter turned down. What a surprise.
I also have to agree the actual mother has a greater duty of care towards the daughter than the stepmother should normally have, assuming she is not a danger to herself or others.

The more he tries to paint Nigella as the one in the wrong, the more he looks like an even bigger loser.
Nigella remains silent and classy. The way that she has walked away from the divorce is a lesson to celebrities on how it's done.
Wow! And people said she was a nice woman? :rolleyes:
Spoiled brat with daddy issues has rant about evil wicked stepmother in call to Daily Mail.
That girl needs a swift slap into maturity, 5 yr olds have a more grown up mentality than that brat, as for her precious daddy oh woe poor me my heart bleeds for cowards that abuse their partners when in a relationship.
Still he is 72 and he has one foot in the grave.:D
Remember that Rare Groove is the same person who kept saying in the other thread that Nigella clearly deserved the abuse because she didn't leave him.
I sense an under-bridge dweller with a wooden spoon.
As for the actual article. If the girl has been raised by a very controlling father, then I expect that she would find it very difficult to refuse if he kept pressuring her to make a statement to make Nigella look bad.
It sounds like she gave the mildest criticism that she could get away with and was very uncomfortable about it. Poor girl.
Any parent worth their salt would do their best to keep their child (of any age) out of the mess surounding a divorce. If he gave a damn about his daughter's feelings, then he'd be sending a private message to Nigella to highlight that the girl was upset, and offering to make it possible for his daughter to see her without any awkwardness from him being around.
As it is - he's forcing her into potential conflict with someone she probably cares a lot about. (Though hopefully Nigella will understand why she's had to do what she's done.)
"Daddy will take away your trust fund"
"Daddy won't pay for that holiday you wanted to go on"
"Daddy won't buy you any more pretty things"
"Daddy will write you out of his Will"
Well, indeed. She is possibly a very immature 18-year old, still tied to daddy's purse strings.
At 18, she is an adult and could feasibly walk away, but obviously there is too much at stake for her.
It seems like a contemptible position for any parent to put their child in.

Blummin' well said! All of it ^.
I am loving the fact that Nigella is keeping her counsel and behaving with such dignity.
The one thing that worries me is that the Press, Daily Mail included, might start picking at Nigella because she isn't giving them the 'scoop' that they'll be fighting over. The fact that she's saying nothing limits what drama they can create around this event. This story is maybe a taste of what's to come. All the same, it's true that Saatchi's attempts to drag Nigella into the gutter with him seem to be failing spectacularly, up to date. He should take a leaf out of her book and shut up, if he wants to regain any dignity. He sounds like a man who is out of his depth when he can't get his own way.
Using your 'children' to score points is pretty cheap anyway. I don't buy the suggestion (in the article) that his daughter did this entirely of her own volition.
