Nigella is barred from U.S. over drug confession: Domestic Goddess turned back at Heathrow..
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 3, 2014 | Sam Mardsen and Neil Sears

Nigella Lawson has been banned from the US because of her court confession that she took cocaine. Humiliatingly, the celebrity cook was stopped from boarding a flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles, the Daily Mail can reveal today. Her television career in the U.S. - she is a judge on talent show The Taste - is now in peril. The 54-year-old ‘Domestic Goddess’ was forced to confess under oath during a trial last year that she had snorted cocaine seven times and smoked cannabis in front of her children. Although Scotland Yard did not act over her confession, the U.S. authorities are taking a tougher stance.

How about if the Brits lift the ban on Michael Savage traveling to the UK we will let Nigella in. :)

Nigella should never have testified on her own behalf. That was a huge mistake and she’s paying a big price. But she shouldn’t be barred from the USA. That’s ridiculous considering we have a druggie in the White House right now. It may be that Clinton was an even bigger drug user than Obama.

She really is a natural beauty. I’ve always liked her cooking show since living in the UK. Kids recently gave me her cookbook. She’s the daughter of former MP Nigel Lawson.

Obama and the EXEMPT in Congress use those drugs now.

Oh, I forgot, “laws” to not apply to the EXEMPT.

I don’t understand this. If publicl7y confessing to drug use was a reason to ban people from the US, we would have no rock concerts involving UK performers.

He was Chancellor of the Exchequer under Thatcher. He was once a dinner guest on her show!

I have all her cookbooks - easy recipes filled with photos of this gorgeous woman. I refuse to buy the new Nigellissima because it has no photos of her and I like her British/American take on cooking. She loves American culture which may be one of the reasons they’re barring her!

Nigella, high maintenance women are a pain. I had one. However you are welcome to stay with me till you find a place.
