Shortly after, Saatchi began choking Lawson, who erupted in tears at his shocking conduct. He repeatedly put his fingers around her neck and squeezed, causing her visible discomfort. Police are investigating the incident as one of domestic violence. Lawson, the mother of three minors, was later seen leaving the couple's multi-million dollar Chelsea home in London, carrying suitcases. Saatchi, a wealthy gallery owner, is known for likening himself to the devil in promotional items regarding his work. Now he's behaving like him as well, via attacking his wife in what onlookers indicate was an unprovoked incident.
