Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson was accused of being a habitual junkie and criminal who allowed two sisters to steal nearly half a million dollars from her estranged husband in exchange for staying quiet about her drug habit.
Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, former assistants to Lawson, accused her of having a major appetite for cocaine, marijuana and pills, getting high on a daily basis for a decade, while married to Charles Saatchi. The sisters, accused of theft, said Lawson allowed them to steal $480,000 from Saatchi, so long as they said nothing about the drugs.
