Mum cut up husband's shirt with scissors and harassed him (2025)

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard the pair share a two-year-old daughter and are in the process of divorcing.

Abdullah, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, admitted harassment and criminal damage, while a charge of assault by beating was withdrawn.

Prosecutor Jonathan Bryan said: "On the 24 June they were both staying at the same apartment. There was an argument between them and during the course of that argument Ms Abdullah used a pair of scissors to cut it.

"The course of conduct which amounts to harassment occurred in the period after she was released on bail.

"She sent the complainant a series of text messages, one sent on the 13 July said: 'You are disgusting and pathetic and a pathological liar. I can’t believe I loved a monster like you. Such a coward."

The court also saw a call log in which Abdullah had repeatedly tried to call the Libyan businessman, and a message from his driver stating Abdullah was in his car.

She then made a number of posts on the social media site about her ex, the court heard.

One read: “To let everyone know I’m very proud to say I’m divorcing my husband. The monster gave me HPV-16 because he sleeps with prostitutes. If that makes me less of a human being that’s fine.”

It was said Abdullah, who has appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan Middle East, also posted pictures of his family members on Instagram.

The court heard on another occasion the couple bumped into each other at a restaurant in Knightsbridge and Abdullah convinced Mr Migariaf to meet with her at a hotel.

Mr Bryan said: “Whilst there she told him things that made feel guilty about getting the police involved and said ‘how can you do that to the mother of your child?’ And suggested they start all over again and travel together in order to restore their relationship."

Mr Rouse claimed Mr Migariaf is not supporting their young daughter, who lives in Dubai with his client, and is delaying signing divorce papers.

He said: "This is not entirely the fault of the defendant. Police have recorded it and he in the course of interview accepted he pushed her, pushed her in the face and caused her to be wounded in the face in April 2019.

"He has refused to support their child in any way. That’s why she has been pestering him - to try to get him to take his responsibility seriously.”

District Judge Briony Clarke fined Abdullah £6,500 and ordered her to pay costs of £565.

She said: "I take into account this is in the context of a domestic relationship which is always difficult for the court to determine what happened.

"Unfortunately you are the person who has committed the offences and must be punished for it.

"This matter is aggravated unfortunately by the fact the harassment was committed while on police bail not to contact him.

"There is limited value in imposing a community order as you are not remaining in the UK."
