Walk Away Nigella

Wonder if Nigella will leave now that it's out in the open? Is it easier to walk away from abuse if everybody knows and hiding is pointless? Maybe the hard part is keeping it secret - when  that is broken open does escape seem possible?
Those pictures of Nigella with Saatchi's hand  at her throat and over her mouth are truly shocking. We saw in public what has gone on behind closed doors. This is a man who does not care what the world thinks about him. He does not care what his wife thinks about him.
When Nigella was married to John Diamond we learned a little bit about her through his columns. He used to try to boost her self esteem, because, amazingly, this bright, beautiful, loving woman lacked confidence. That came across.
Then she went on to huge success. We thought she lead a charmed life. Now we know different. There are other women out there who thought they were abused because they were hopelesws, ugly and useless. Nigella is none of those things. Maybe out of her sadness others can think; "If it can happen to her it can happen to anybody. It's not my fault," and just walk away.
