View Full Version : Paul McCartney & Heather Mills split
McCartneys: We've split
If the couple were to divorce, it is thought Heather, 38, could claim around £200m of his £825m fortune. The couple did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

I'm sorry to hear this. i wonder if she'll go after his fortune, or be content with just a few million and a couple of their houses?
what to do, what to do? :waitasec:
Update: Official statement
The couple, who have been married for four years, said they had "with sadness" agreed to split after finding it "increasingly difficult" to maintain a normal relationship in the glare of the public eye.
"Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways," they said.
"Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child," the couple added.
They also said they would find the split "immensely stressful".

Well, well, well...I am interested in hearing this story and to see how it plays out. I believe that at least one of McCarthy's kids didn't get along with Heather and thought that she was a gold digger. Only time will tell...
Ironically, Paul is 64 next month!

"His earnings are in the region of £25million ($42 million) a year at the moment. So she can expect half of £100 million. ($170 million) But because he is worth so much more she is also entitled to a certain standard of living. She would also receive a huge maintenance payment for their daughter. She will be entitled to in the region of £200 million ($340 million)."

Poor Paul. I was hoping he had found true happiness after losing Linda.

He isn't an angel. i have no doubt Heather will be painted forever as the wicked step mother and a gold digger, which i believe to be unfair. but what will happen -- is happening.
More background:
Is it back to the lonely hearts club for Macca?
According to those who know them well, the couple are simply incompatible. They want different things. At 38, Heather remains incredibly ambitious for herself and is a vocal and passionate animal rights campaigner.
Highly commendable, but Heather is so passionate about such causes and so energetic that Sir Paul has trouble keeping up. Having achieved so much already, he would like to slow down, unwind from time to time with a spliff perhaps, if only Heather would let him. (She refused to marry him unless he gave up his cannabis habit.)

I obviously don't know her, but from what I've read, she seemed to be pretty down to earth and involved in many charitible organizations and the organization that goes in and removes land mines. I'm sorry for the both of them that this didn't work out. I think after having the relationship that Paul and Linda had, it would have been hard for her to fill those shoes.

If ALL he did was smoke a little... I seriously doubt that would cause a divorce. Even if he wasn't who he is and she knew about the marijuana before she married him that alone wouldn't make someone get a divorce. I have always believed that smoking was way better than an alcoholic. Marijuana smokers don't get violent, they don't speed and kill people in car accidents - they just totally mellow out. I have done both and the booze is more destructive by far.

It wouldn't bother you, but it would be cause for divorce in this household. Heck, cigarette smoking would probably be cause for divorce here! That goes for either partner (my husband or me).
The article says that Heather insisted that he give up pot before she would marry him. So, if she were that against marijuana use before the wedding, nothing would change after the wedding. Plus, now they have a child to consider.
One more thing: Marijuana is still against the law in most places. So, even if you feel that it is better than drinking, you are putting yourself in jeopardy.

I am thinking this also- My first thought was he is more than comfortable with the exposure he has had his whole life, including the life with Linda-- what do they mean they cant deal with the media/press? makes no sense. I cannot believe he was foolish enough not to have had a pre-nup--that was just irresponsible in my opinion

Sir Paul is hardly just any man and I am sorry, they have a child together . I suspect the money wont matter much to him - he will fair with her for the child's sake. I think he is a decent human being in spite of fame and wealth . I Think it might be the attention factor more than anything else. He captures it easily and always will and she was a footnote. Only one of many ambitious married to wealth women working for causes.
Some woman will be more than willing to put up with any his habits good or bad
and live life at his pace fast slow or in between.

Rachael,
I agree.
I think Paul was still in the grieving stages over Linda,when he was first smitten by Heather. I believe he was subconsciously comparing Heather to Linda (tall,blonde,has other passionate interests), Heather fit well as a Linda clone.
Unfortunately,I don't think Linda and Heather had the same personality ... and it took a while for Paul to realize that. Too bad for the both of them.

I'm sorry, but he's just too old for her. 38 and 64??? I'm sure there are relationships that have worked with that big of a gap, but maybe they just didn't have enough in common. Maybe she wanted to do things that he was just too tired to do.

I agree with that. It is just really sad that it took four years and a child for him to realize that.
I just read an article a few days ago that she was at their coastal home and that they were still very much a couple.

Hello, Goodbye To £200m?
Sir Paul McCartney's failed marriage to Heather Mills could cost him a cool £200m legal experts say.
One lawyer said the former Beatle will be "bloody sorry" he did not get a pre-nuptial agreement signed.
Sir Paul, Britain's richest musician who made £48.5m last year, is facing what promises to be one of the country's biggest ever divorce cases.
***
"But you ask any ordinary person in the street whether they think Lady McCartney should get £200 million after a four year marriage.

For those interested, £200m would work out to 377,329,066.11 USD.

This is why IMO people should marry someone closer to their own age. Paul and Heather are at totally different phases in their lives, neither are wrong for wanting to do the things they want. He's ready to slow down and she's still energetic and ambitious. It's only natural that they are that way.
I remember when Eric Clapton married his current wife. She was in her mid 20's and he's around Paul's age. I remember thinking "WTF do they even have in common, she's young enough to be his child, maybe grandchild." It wasn't sour grapes on my part either. But they have 2 or 3 kids now so I guess they are still going strong. EC doesn't tour much now though. :(

I tend to agree with this.. Paul and Linda seemed inseparable and had a lot in common.. Heather could not fill her shoes. I think Paul jumped to fast into this relationship.. Maybe he's one of these guys that "needs" a woman and hates being single..
From the pics I've seen of Heather, she didn't look happy.. I personally don't care for her...

To me it seems like Linda was a real "earthy" person, she seemed pretty much no frills. I don't think she was into fancy stuff which Heather may be. I don't know a lot about either woman honestly. I do think the age difference was pretty big too. I agree with the poster who said that they are at different points in their lives. They really are. He's at the age where he probably wants to just sit back and enjoy life.
He isn't an angel. i have no doubt Heather will be painted forever as the wicked step mother and a gold digger, which i believe to be unfair. but what will happen -- is happening.

Maybe, his drug use played into the divorce.That is something that I WOULD NOT tolerate in any way. I would be totally freaked out if I saw any of it in my house or knew my husband was still doing it! JMO! Of course, I know that no one is accusing him of still being involved with drugs. I am just giving my viewpoint about how I would feel if this was going on in my marriage.
I didn't say he was an angel and I didn't say she was a gold digger.
LOL -- i know you didn't and i'm sorry if it looked as tho i was suggesting you did either. :dance:
i am sure in the days (month, years) to come all will be piled against Heather -- and i'm not suggesting you are up for a pile-on either.
it will be generally accepted as such, i believe.

I don't care for Heather one bit. She says she was 'famous' before meeting Paul although most people had never heard of her, she's more famous for being 'Mrs McCartney'.
She hates not being in the limelight as much as he is. I saw an interview with her on TV once and she was asked "What is it like being married to Sir Paul McCartney" and her reply was "It's no big deal", she couldn't find it in herself to give one ounce of praise for him!
She met Paul and eventually became Lady Heather McCartney, just exactly what she set out to achieve! She stands to come out of this marriage with £200 million, and therefore has achieved her goals and ambitions!!! She knew exactly what she was doing when she married Paul.
Harsh I know, but I wish he could have met a genuine woman and not a gold digger!

I think anytime a woman marries an older gentleman who has money, she is labeled a gold digger.
:furious: IMO just because he is older, doesn't mean he is not worth loving. I couldn't have found a better man for me if I had searched the world over twice, no matter what his age! Like some of the other posters have stated, time will tell if she is truly a "gold digger" or not. For the sake of the child, I hope they work it out. Maybe time apart will make each see a little clearer. The child is always the one who gets hurt the most. I wish all of the well.

Time has already told that she is a gold digger, as I said in my post she has achieved her goals in life, courtesy of Paul McCartney. You have a husband whom you love and respect irrespective of his age & financial status, it's just a shame Heather couldn't have done the same.
And I too stand by what I say, "How attractive would Paul have been to Heather without his £800 million"!!

"Friends of the 63-year-old musician revealed that he looked into the possibility of a pre-nuptial agreement shortly before his wedding in June 2002 but then abandoned the idea.
Sir Paul and Heather, 38, have always claimed they were too much in love to pursue the idea of such a deal.
According to a source, Sir Paul's former publicist Geoff Baker did look into a pre-nuptial agreement. However, the source added: "Geoff discovered it wouldn't be legal in this country."
It is not known how Sir Paul's vast fortune will be divided should the couple divorce. The source said: "If they do divorce, this is going to cost Paul a fortune. He doesn't have anything in place to protect his assets and estates, which was something that always worried the kids."
A leading divorce lawyer said: "She is not entitled to his Beatles and Wings fortune but he has enjoyed huge success in the four years they have been together.
"His earnings are in the region of £25million a year at the moment. So she can expect half of £100million. But because he is worth so much more she is also entitled to a certain standard of living. She would also receive a huge maintenance payment for their daughter. She will be entitled to in the region of £200million."

It will probably turn out that Heather has been "hanging out" with someone her own age - perhaps a fellow PETA member?

If she's not into his money, then she should have no problem with leaving said money alone. She should expect and receive a decent settlement, enough for her and the baby to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, but not hundreds of millions of dollars. If not, let's see if he changes his tune about her if/when she demands half his money.
IMO, she shouldn't get what was his before the marriage, that money should go to his kids as their mother was with him for all those years. Hopefully she won't get any of that, like the above article suggested.
I wonder: could Heather Mills McCartney become the most despised woman on the planet? :doh:

I don't care for Heather one bit. She says she was 'famous' before meeting Paul although most people had never heard of her, she's more famous for being 'Mrs McCartney'.
She hates not being in the limelight as much as he is. I saw an interview with her on TV once and she was asked "What is it like being married to Sir Paul McCartney" and her reply was "It's no big deal", she couldn't find it in herself to give one ounce of praise for him!
She met Paul and eventually became Lady Heather McCartney, just exactly what she set out to achieve! She stands to come out of this marriage with £200 million, and therefore has achieved her goals and ambitions!!! She knew exactly what she was doing when she married Paul.
Harsh I know, but I wish he could have met a genuine woman and not a gold digger!
i must agree with you....them splitting up doesn't suprise me at all..

That's interesting isn't it!! Paul looks so old but he looks like he has had a face lift because his face is as smooth as a baby's butt :D But, to me, he looks a lot older then his 64 years. I will never understand why young women marry old men :confused: I guess we will find out if it is spelled M O N E Y.

He isn't an angel. i have no doubt Heather will be painted forever as the wicked step mother and a gold digger, which i believe to be unfair. but what will happen -- is happening.
More background:
Is it back to the lonely hearts club for Macca?
According to those who know them well, the couple are simply incompatible. They want different things. At 38, Heather remains incredibly ambitious for herself and is a vocal and passionate animal rights campaigner.
Highly commendable, but Heather is so passionate about such causes and so energetic that Sir Paul has trouble keeping up. Having achieved so much already, he would like to slow down, unwind from time to time with a spliff perhaps, if only Heather would let him. (She refused to marry him unless he gave up his cannabis habit.)
http://tinyurl.com/f6b5y
One of the world's most revered potheads, Paul McCartney not only smoked cannabis most of his life, he also wrote songs about it ("Got to Get You Into My Life," "Fixing a Hole") & got busted for it - famously spending 9 days in prison in Japan in 1980. But last year the 63 yr old musician admitted that marijuana was no longer in his life. "I have quite a liberal view on drugs", he reported, "but i find that I prefer to be straight".
Clearly, Sir Paul had "a little help" from his wife of 3 yrs in reaching that conclusion. Heather Mills, 38, recently explained to the The Observer in London that she disapproves of her husband's puffing past & wouldn't have married the Beatle "if he was taking drugs. I hate it. I could not have him lying to our child (2 yr old Beatrice) & then going out for a sneaky puff."
Mills claims to have "never taken drugs in her life," in contrast to Paul & Linda - his previous wife of more than 30 years (she died in 1998) - who Mills says "smoked (cannabis) every day," adding that she herself would "go wacky" if she ever turned on.
So will weed still need Paul when he's 64 (on June 18)?

"Update: Official statement
The couple, who have been married for four years, said they had "with sadness" agreed to split after finding it "increasingly difficult" to maintain a normal relationship in the glare of the public eye.
"Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways," they said.
"Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives...."
I think the statement they are giving the public is a cop out.
I'm not condoning what the media does,they are over the top and should be curtailed some how.But in this case...nothing has changed media wise in the last forty something years since Paul picked up a guitar and Beatlemania began,this is nothing new to him.In fact I think it was worse when he was married to Linda,and somehow they made it through.As far as Heather,she had to know marriage to Paul would not be your run of the mill normal marriage.In fact it could have been worse,it's not like Paul and Heather were on the cover of every magazine every other week.
Instead of just being honest and saying their marriage just didn't work out,they had to blame someone ... and they did.The media.

Capps,
I agree I think it's kind of a low blow to blame the media. Stars always seem to have a love-hate relationship with the media. They are only too happy to take advantage of their fame and profit from their noteriety or use it to promote their pet causes but when something goes amiss or they just get annoyed, they blast the media. Publicity is nothing new for Paul and he certainly hasn't dominated any tabloids or gossip columns that I know of recently. Who knows why their marriage is breaking up? I think it's a big cop out and I think it's a shame they had to raise the media card in explaining their break-up. They don't owe anyone an explanation anyway.

That's right.
A short blurb "We are going through a hard personal situation at this time,an would appreciate privacy.",would have sufficed.
I think it's ironic that Paul is giving all these statements in print,and then Paul and Heather give a mini press conference about their break up.Sounds pretty media savvy,considereing they claim it was the media that broke up their marriage in the first place.
Ah the limelight ....

British law at work - more about the possible outcome of any settlement in case of divorce (which seems likely):
Why Sir Paul's 'genius' could save him millions
But intriguingly, Sir Paul's widely acknowledged creative genius may form the crux of any further legal argument, says Mr Kaufman.
"In the big money cases, especially where there are long marriages, the courts have upheld that instead of going 50/50, if there was a special contribution from one half and that was built up by a uniquely creative element, or genius, the other half would get less than 50%."

Heather is now supposedly in a wheelchair!
Heartbroken Heather back in a wheelchair
By PAUL KENT
20may06
SIR Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills is said to be so heartbroken over her break-up with the rock legend she has suffered a relapse that has put her back in a wheelchair.
The animal rights activist is recovering from corrective surgery after a metal plate in her pelvis which connects to her false leg shifted four weeks ago.
"We're very worried about her," a friend told a British newspaper. "She's at a very low ebb both emotionally and physically. She is unable to walk and is in a wheelchair.
"She is in so much pain. She's in a very low place."
Since Sir Paul told Ms Mills he wanted a divorce, the pair has remained cordial, intent on doing what is best for their toddler daughter, Beatrice.
Friends, however, fear that if they fail to reach a custody agreement, things could turn nasty. Sources close to the Beatle say he is "determined" to be the one who raises their two-year-old daughter. Ms Mills, 38, who is caring for her, is just as keen to bring up Beatrice her own way.
Sounds like there could be a nasty custody battle if Paul wants to raise Beatrice. Of course, this is probably tabloid news so who knows if it's true.

Sounds like she's jealous of him, and wanted him to fit her mold. That's weird about no friends, though. At his age I wouldn't blame him for wanting a quiet life at home with his new daughter.
She bragged about their sex life, and how "he couldn't believe his good fortune"?; she's a piece of work.

the money in htis case might catch our eye, but its a drop in the bucket for MnCartney..he is an industry and his wealth on daily interest alone repeats itself over and over-he will have his money back in no time..no matter what he pays her.
Maccartney is like a Mozzart..his place secured and he will have generations and generations of wealth..his lineage will be wealthy long after paul and his childrens, children, chlidrens, children die..
The money is nothing, it wont hurt him or his lgacy..just because he is a former Beatle...just like Lenon.
His daughter with heather will also always have money-there will be child support issues forever..though i dont see it as problematic. I am referring only to his ongoing payout to Heather even if she has joint custody.
Heather on her won wont earn money - and so Paul will be the sole provider to Beatrice..imo.
I think Paul and Linda were soulmates. I dont think u find what they had very often. I think they shared the same lifestyle.
It doesnt matter what u do if your spouse does it to. It is when one does not want to that there is a problem.
He deserves to continue on with life as he designed it..he just cant be married to her if he wants to. He is a pot smoker and right there u live differently in your head than someone who doesnt use it.
HM is way too young for him and I believe she will fade into oblivion quickly. Noone will care about her work after this either. Its good work but she wont have the profile she has now.
Hopefully Paul will find someone who doesnt want to be married but enjoys his world..maybe Cher..lol (j/k- cher isnt into drugs-or addiction and never has been)..but he needs someone not so young imo and someone who is already a person in their own right so his fame doesnt bother her.

As far as the "great sex" he was supposed to be getting with Mills, i would sugest Linda had been ill for a long time and it's probable they put sex on the back burner - so when McCartney was ready to chance his arm, he would have thought any sex great.
and i seriouly doubtr he was ever unfaithful to Linda during their time together - not a chance.

My husband gave this marrage 2 years. He couldn't figure out why Mills was always without her leg when she was talking to the media. He thought it was a pity campaign. As for drugs, She has taken a lot having a leg removed. However some people think taking presription narcotics isn't considered taking drugs but if you're taking them, your taking drugs. And, she could be a closet pill popper. A lot are after having to take them after seriious operations.
I'm sure Paul tried hard in the lovemaking department but he was in his sixties and it was bound to catch up with him. He was probably worn out. Poor baby. LOL. Married 4 years and she'll get all that money. Hell, in some states you have to be married at least 5 years to get any spousal support at all. :banghead:

Apparently she amasses men akin to a butterfly collector (and treats them thusly):
The ex weighs in with a letter to Paul sending his thoughts:
Heathered - by the former 'Mr Mills'
I am the bloke Heather left in the lurch for you five years ago. No hard feelings now. All is fair in love and war and all that. And, in any case, as things have turned out, I should probably thank you for having taken my seat on a plane that was doomed to crash in flames.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2190138_1,00.html
His dad on Heather:
I phoned my father. “The wedding is off,” I said. There was a pause. “Christopher,” he said finally, “I have never been so relieved in all my life.”
i am astounded she decided to spread a rumour her fiance was gay to explain why she stopped the wedding going ahead. :doh:
so if what this bloke says about her really is true, that's it. all bets are off. the woman really is a harridan and Paul just saved his sanity by stamping cancel on the relationship, bless!
i have to say if it is so paul began to see the light around 18 months ago he is a truly honourable man by trying to give it his best shot for so long. :angel:

Paul's £25m offer to keep baby Bea
Paul McCartney has offered his estranged wife Heather Mills a £25million "quickie" divorce - if she allows their daughter to live with him.
He has told friends he is close to reaching a deal with Miss Mills, even though they only announced their separation a week ago.
Under the deal, the couple's two-year-old daughter Beatrice will have "residency" with 63-year-old Sir Paul, although they will officially share custody of her.
And although there has been speculation that Miss Mills, 38, could get up to £200million of Sir Paul's £800million fortune after being married for four years, her settlement is likelier to be closer to £25million.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=387493&in_page_id=1773&in_a_source=
That would be 47,093,888.43 USD.
cheap at the price, when one considers what it could be if she put her mind to it. as Mills appears to want to travel non stop for charity it would seem better Beatrice has a permanent home at McCartney's.
apparently she'll most likely give a large amount of any settlement to her anti-landmine charity.

You're a tough crowd. :truce: :truce: :truce:
Heather has just had major surgery. Perhaps she's thinking that it would be difficult for her to be the best mommie possible to a toddler when she can't even walk. I think the age difference is something that's very difficult to overcome. Its too bad that they didn't take the time to be sure their relationship was solid before they brought a child into the world, but regardless of that. I'm sure this little girl will grow up knowing that BOTH of her parents love her very much.
I don't know anything about either one of them other than what I've read, but let's face it. The world has treated him like a GOD for the last 40 years. I'm pretty sure that he's used to getting his way no matter what. That doesn't always make for the most compromising individual. He may not be willing to change in ways that most people have to change when they get married.

I read that she had surgery. What exactly did she have done? More of the leg removed? If so, that sure seems pretty painful to me.

Sir Paul McCartney's wife Heather Mills has undergone an operation on her partly-amputated left leg.
The landmine campaigner had a "revision amputation", which involves re-attaching muscle tissue to the bone.
"It was a major operation - but it has been a success," a spokesman for Ms Mills told the BBC News website.

I see what you're saying and based on what's behind that offer, it may be valid. I'm just saying that we don't know what his motives are. People with a lot of money are used to sometimes just throwing cash on the situtation in order "not" have to go through a long process. Perhaps he just doesn't want their business dragged through a court process. The London tabloids are even worse than the rags in America. Maybe he doesn't feel that due to her health situation of late that she would necessarily benefit from long hours in deposition and court procedures. I would have given anything to not have heard some of the stuff I did during my parents divorce. Maybe knowing that one of my parents did everything they could to prevent us kids from having to deal with that would make me feel better about what happened.

I do feel that Sir Paul is acting in the best interest of the child. Now and in the future.
The money that he paid to Heather Mills ensure that she will not leave the child with nannies etc. while she is off on her "charity cause".
Some people will put their own self interests, promotion, ego, and their "work" over and above the well fare of their own child.
Heather does seem this type, so Paul steps in to ensure the child has a normal loving home.......
Not that Heather would be home much and then the child would feel that her Mommy does not love her, because he is off again to some place else, while the child is left behind......
I don't think so......

From the current issue of The Star:
"While contemplating the situation, he [Paul] flashed back to a huge blow up during a skiing vacation in Verbier, Switzerland the month before. Neighbors could here Heather screaming at Paul in their chalet. "Heather lost it, a source says. "She's frightening when she loses her temper."
"According to one British paper, Stella told her famous father: "I won't tell you I told you so, and I don't care how much it costs you. I'm just glad [the marriage] is over."
"Although McCartney's breakup announcemnet insisted that "our parting is amicable, and both of us still care about each other very much," sources say the reality isn't quite so civilized. One insider described "a mismatch made in hell."
"As might be expected, Heather didn't make a great impression on McCartney's children......."Stella detested her from the start," a source says. "Paul hates friction, but the day he married Heather, he opened the door to warfare."
"But Paul finally decided to pull the plug on the marriage, friends say, because he was sick of being publicly humiliated by Heather. "She was always inviting her friends over for girlie nights," a source says. "She's send Paul packing and make him take Beatrice with him. She'd bluntly tell him, "You're not here tonight!" In the end, though, sources says, Heather miscalculated badly. "She thought she could dominate and manipulate him," says a source. "But she misread him. Paul can be steely tough."
"Nor is he afraid to admit a mistake. He recently sent a single rose to his friend and ex-publicist, Geoff Baker, whom he parted ways with, reportedly at Heather's insistence. "It was Paul's way of admitting he'd made two mistakes," says a source. "Firing Geoff and marrying Heather."

Kinda hard to believe this is the first time he is hearing about them. More likely it is the first time they are surfacing in the news. It is common knowledge in England that Mills had a rather racy past. I think that Paul McCartney was so smitten by her that he went into major denial mode, and just ignored all warning signs. There may even have been many palms greased to keeps things out of the press. Now all bets are off, who knows.
It is funny how it is showing up now when there is NO prenuptual agreement and Paul wants full custody. Just my opinion but me thinks Sir Paul is not that devastated, he knows what he is doing. Ms Mills is NOT walking away will half his fortune or his daughter.
If Heather Mills thinks she is dealing with a dummy, she better think again.

Elizabeth was born in London England on February 27, 1932. so she is English. As for being Knighted by The Queen, when Heather divorces Paul she loses the title of Lady. The children don't get the tiltle either it is not handed down, because it is not a royal succession title. It is an Honorary Title only given to the person.

As the couple last night appeared to be on the brink of an ugly public battle, a friend of Macca's insisted the ex-Beatle merely wanted a no-fuss divorce.
The friend added: "He has stipulated there will be no tears and tantrums, just a clean break.
"Paul just wants to get this over as quickly and cleanly as possible and put the whole sorry episode behind him."

In all the pictures of them together she is standing not sitting in a wheel chair. SO what is this about her crawling? Where was her leg?
Sounds to me like they (she and her attorney) are playing the pity me I am disabled card.
Trying to make her look like just some poor disabled women abused by her hubby.
If he did in fact call her an "ungrateful *****" well IMO she does seem to be.
And lets remember her history. She has a history with men. She jumped ship on her last fiance because she met Paul.
No doubt with $$$ in her eyes.

I'm having a hard time buying into Paul being abusive.. If he was I think Linda, his 1st wife would have accused him of the same thing.. I could be wrong on this but I still think something isn't right about Heather...
I'm not sure if this figure is correct, but I heard Paul offered 50 million to settle. That seems like a pretty good deal for four years of marriage to me. I feel bad for the baby.

OH PULeeze!!!
First off "Lady McCartney" Has a prostetic (sp?) leg...
In all the pictures of them together she is standing not sitting in a wheel chair. SO what is this about her crawling? Where was her leg?
She had "amputation revision" surgery back in March and subsequently was confined to a wheel chair. The surgery was in March and I believe they split in April.
Article about surgery:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4896754.stm
I snipped the following from the above article about her leg surgery:
She has left hospital following the operation last Monday and will be confined to a wheelchair during the initial period of her recovery.
The spokesman said Ms Mills had been experiencing some discomfort in her leg in recent weeks.
"Heather has been putting off having the operation because she knew she would need time to recover," she said. She added that her husband Sir Paul has been "very supportive".
Yet in her court claims (see link below) that mysteriously leaked to the press, she said that the surgery was put off because it would have interfered with Paul's holiday plans and that he was not supportive of her.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_headline=macca-v-heather-%2D-court-claims-in-full%26method=full%26objectid=17955604%26siteid=94 762-name_page.html
And in another article, a lot of things she has said in the past were later proven to be un-true or inaccurate.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_headline=can-we-believe-heather-this-time%2D%26method=full%26objectid=17955608%26siteid =94762-name_page.html
I think she's totally full of it. :liar: Paul has been in the entertainment spotlight for over 40 years and if any of these claims of his bad behaviour were true, we would have heard something about it by now. I'm not saying he's a perfect angel, but these claims are so outrageous and farfetched, I'm not buying it. He wants custody of their baby and she is trying to portray him as unfit. I bet poor Linda is doing somersaults in her grave. :twocents:

No doubt with $$$ in her eyes.and actually I have trouble believing the bedpan thing - here Linda dies of cancer..now when u are around someone dying of cancer u see alot of things that are not pleasant..why would a bedpan bother him or anyone for that matter..it doesnt make sense..
I think it spossible that she provoked paul into some rages and maybe he did throw something or his wine at her..I cant see him stabbing her though..i just cant.
I can see him shoving her ONLY because she would be the type to never shut up. Its possible but if some of it happened u can be sure she was driving him crazy.
I also think that Paul had no idea about how some women behave-he had a perfect match as a wife..they were good together and that is rare.
I do think he is likely a very spoiled guy..and heather obviously didnt realize that someone at his age isnt going to change..he does do a lot of pot-dont know about the drinking..however, if he was having to hide his use-he could have been dealing with withdrawal from years of chronic use..it would make anyone edgy.
I dont care if he smokes dope..its not going to change now..she should have thot that thru..and what did she expect..I mean he is Paul McCartney..his whole life all he hears is how wonderful he is-how brilliant etc..he isnt used to having a bossy ***** of a wife.

I'm sure Paul is not the wonderful God he's made out to be and I'm sure Heather is not the angel she's trying to make herself out to be. A lot goes on in a marriage that the public never sees-who knows what the two of them were like behind closed doors.
While I have no real love for Heather I get a little tired of the "poor Paul" version of things. He's 60 something, was a member of the biggest rock band ever, and has scads of money. I'm sure everyone-family, friends, lawyers, financial advisers were screaming-prenup, prenup and he chose to disregard that. The man has more money than god-you can't tell me in his whole life he's never seen a gold digger or had a clue that some people are more interested his money than him.

You are right, no one knows except the people who are behind the closed doors... However, IMO I still think if he was abusive and mean, then I would think it would have leaked out that he was that way with his 1st wife Linda.. If anything I got the impression that him and Linda were inseparable... I've never heard any bad thing about those two.. :twocents: :p

I dont think its a Poor Paul thing at all..not based on it being Paul McCartney. He has stood the test of time..if he was a maniac without a heart we would have heard about this somewhere along the way..people dont fool people for a lifetime..not in everyway-and all the time.
Rumors would have swirled by people who saw Paul and Linda together over the years..believe me someone would have loved to leak it to the press.
I also think some of this happened..but we dont know in what context.
What if Paul was making a fun coment or a sexy comment about her breasts?
What if he did restrain her in a fit of her own rage..what if she was drinking and he walked away from her in disgust saying u are an ungrateful *****.
The problem with the whole thing is that it makes Paul look like the second coming of Scott Peterson when he has a solid track record as a very good person..
All of a sudden she comes along and he is a monster.
I think he does drink and smoke pot to excess and so on..but that doesnt mean he is mean or a monster when he does.
Writing things down out of context can make people look very bad..and if your spouse or mine listed everything we have said or done without explaining the context we could all look like abusers.
There is alot more rumor about Heather from her ex's etc. that paint her in the light of an untrustworthy person. She is not an emotioanlly safe person to be around.
She is a all about herself.
She has to know how what she is saying will hurt Pauls reputation (built over 40 years), in a irreversable way..I dont think someone married to him for a short time should hold that much power..its an abuse of it if anything.

Sorry if this is a repeat of something that has already been discussed, I haven't read the entire thread. I read the other day that Heather is now accusing Paul of abusing Linda. How, I wonder, would Heather know this? Linda's friends and family deny it, Paul denies it, yet Heather insists it's true. So where did she get that information?
The DJ for the Radio station that I listen to said that Heather has a long standing reputation in England as a liar, that Americans are just beginning to see the real Heather. I'd like to know Heather's history.

You probably aren't in your late 40s or early 50s. There have been plenty of stories about McCartney over the decades. Mostly that he's needy and old school when it comes to his women, and more than a touch narcissistic. Bear in mind this was a man whose mother died when he was young and has a lot of abandonment issues and has basically been able to call the shots in not only his life but the lives of those around him since he was 20. I know someone who knew all the Beatles as a fellow professional musician in the 1960s and basically you have to remember all these guys came up in households where using the back of your hand on your wife was pretty much an accepted part of the culture. Ditto the drinking.

Heather Mills stole my name, says journalist
By Ben Hoyle
http://images.thetimes.co.uk/images/trans.gifLADY McCARTNEY impersonated a successful newspaper journalist in a largely failed attempt to break into the media before she met Sir Paul, it emerged yesterday.
Heather Mills, who now writes for Private Eye magazine, said that the former model had begun posing as her in the late Nineties, when she was working on The Observer.
NI_MPU('middle');“She pretended to be me for over a year,” the journalist wrote in The Mail on Sunday.
“She has been accused of being a mad fantasist. Certainly posing as me for such a long time adds a new dimension to her controversial and colourful career. “She posed as me not only to her friends but in a series of meetings with TV executives. She even showed people cuttings of stories I had written.” At the time Lady McCartney had yet to meet Sir Paul, or find widespread fame, and was trying to establish herself as a television presenter.

I haven't weighed in on this thread, but I've been lurking with enthusiasm! :) :rolleyes:
This post really stuck out at me. No matter how independent or how well her career was going, she sure as heck hit the jackpot when Paul fell for her. Honestly, I don't even know what she did for a living before she met Paul. Could someone fill me in on that?
IMO, meeting him was the equivalent of winning the lottery. And the more I hear about her, the more heartless and calculating she seems. I believe he genuinely fell in love with her, but I personally don't think she fell in love with him.... I think she fell in love with his name, fame and money. Of course, this is all JMO. :truce:
Even if she were to not get a penny out of this divorce, she will still be famous, (or infamous) and have a better shot of furthering herself financially. She could write a book about Life With Paul McCartney and make a MINT!
The image of a gold digger seems to be more supported every day, as all these stories come out about her. Stealing the identity of a journalist in an attempt to further her career? That doesn't seem like something an independent career woman who is doing well for herself would have to do...

[QUOTE=mfmangel1]Heather Mills stole the identity of a jounalist named Heather Mills for over a year!

Oh Boy. I bet she thought she had her foot fully in the door when Larry King had her guest host for him last April. She interviewed Paul Newman by choice!

I haven't weighed in on this thread, but I've been lurking with enthusiasm! :) :rolleyes:
This post really stuck out at me. No matter how independent or how well her career was going, she sure as heck hit the jackpot when Paul fell for her. Honestly, I don't even know what she did for a living before she met Paul. Could someone fill me in on that?
IMO, meeting him was the equivalent of winning the lottery. And the more I hear about her, the more heartless and calculating she seems. I believe he genuinely fell in love with her, but I personally don't think she fell in love with him.... I think she fell in love with his name, fame and money. Of course, this is all JMO. :truce:

I assume you are talking about Heather. She was a sometime model. She lost a leg in an accident and began an anti-landmine campaign. While that is admirable, I never understood what her accident had to do with landmines other than the loss of limbs and the need for prosthetics.
It seems as though she was a desperate woman to try to impersonate a known journalist.
Linda was a well-known photographer when she was assigned to photograph The Beatles in 1967 and met Paul. She also authored vegan cookbooks and was an animal rights activist. She did not have to impersonate anyone. She grew up wealthy. Her father was an attorney and her mother's family owned a department store chain.
edited to add addition info.

I could be wrong about this and forgive me if I am, but I think Paul was only married once before Heather, and that was with Linda.. He had a girlfriend that was an actress named Jane Asher...

I got the impression from mssheila that she was lumping Linda and Heather together. I was pointing out that I was talking about his two wives,
not just Heather.
I had mention that Linda was independent, etc....
She asked how Heather's act of identity theft showed independence....

Poor heather is starting to look like a seriously disturbed woman.Paul attorneys are doing a great job for him.Having said that I think Heather saw Paul as a fantastic meal ticket and he was a silly old fool. They deserve each other.I disagree-he isn't a fool for falling for someone..he was made a fool of-there is a big difference..many men and women fall for the wrong people..for one he had no experience with women as live-ins..he only had Linda for all those years.
I think he has a daughter from another relationship but that's when he was very young..before Linda..
I don't judge anyone for falling in love with someone-she likely played him like a fool..that doesn't mean he was one to go for it.
How could he NOT think she was genuine..women have been throwing themselves at him his whole Beatle life..he would not think she was any different-he would believe her.
I also think many women threw themselves at him after Linda died-he did not end up with the first one he met.
I give anyone credit for trying-u cant detect insanity in the face of an angel so to speak (not that I think she is an angel face)..she looked normal, hardworking, exceptional really..it was a big con job by her-not just an overactive erection by Paul.
He could have had almost any woman he wanted- even now.

Count me in, I'd take him (if I wasn't married:o )

I wouldn't want some old pot smoking geezer even if he was rich. That type of stuff would really be boring and unhealthy to have to live and raise a child around. I'd think though that anyone would know ahead of time about the drug use. Too bad it didn't work out for them.

That was John's first wife.
Patty Boyd was George's first wife.
Maureen was Ringo's first wife.

I don't get it either.
At first I thought she'd lost her leg due to a landmine lol

John Lennon.. that was his 1st wife and from what I read, he hit her one time so if any Beatle was abusive, I'd bet it was John..

Looking up ladies skirts is not the same thing as bashing them Billy.
Heard of a game called 'Chinese Whispers?'
Who?
I want names :p lol
I'm not going to name him because he's still in the biz. But all four of the Beatles had domestic abuse issues at one time or another. In Paul's case they were with girlfriends, as he didn't marry until comparatively late in life, considering his availability. Rock stars aren't terribly well known for being the best husbands in the world, regardless of what decade they were married in.
