Lawson’s ex-husband took their former assistants to court
The claims were too much for Charles Saatchi, who ended up taking the Grillo sisters to court to refute everything they said. This was just the beginning. Elisabetta and Francesca also admitted that they were allowed to spend Nigella’s money so long as they never revealed that she had been taking illegal substances behind her husband’s back.

On the other hand, Charles claimed that the sisters had tried to fraudulently get hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the couple. Nigella was forced to admit that she had taken illegal substances and narcotics – and that she had on more than one occasion. However, the chef claimed that it was only once or twice, adding that she had never been an addict. In the end, the sisters were acquitted of all charges.
