Nigella Lawson was subjected to a brutal criminal trial that was supposed to be about her assistants alleged theft but instead put the TV chef on the stand having to confess that she had used marijuana and cocaine and in her first interview since the legal proceeding was “mortifying.”

“I have to be honest, to have not only your private life but distortions of your private life put on display is mortifying, but there are people going through an awful lot worse and to dwell on it would be self-pity, and I don't want to do that," Nigella told Good Morning America on Thursday.
