Celebrity Chef Charged With Attempted Murder After Secretly Giving Girlfriend Abortion Drug

Joshua Woodward has owned restaurants in Los Angeles and New York, including Table 8, and was once partners with Govind Armstrong. Back in 2009, Joshua's girlfriend got pregnant. He immediately told her that he wanted her to get an abortion. She refused. Suddenly after a few weeks of hammering to get an abortion he backed off. He then told her he wanted to be a part of her life and the baby. According to the charges brought yesterday in Los Angeles, Joshua tried to induce a miscarriage in his girlfriend, who was 13 weeks pregnant,  using a topical application of the early-stage abortion drug misoprostol while the couple engaged in foreplay. The girlfriend has stated that Joshua kept reaching into his backpack during foreplay. After she miscarried a few days later and saw white powder in her underwear, she notified police who advised her to not tell Joshua anything and to invite him over again. She did and police were there and arrested him with the drug in his possession which he tried to get rid of while talking to police. He has been charged with attempted murder and bail set at $4M.
