Do you remember Heather Mills?

I have been watching the Beatles documentary and got to thinking about her.

She was in the papers constantly in the 2000s, I remember her being painted as an absolute con artist witch. I googled a few articles about her from the time of the divorce. They are brutal in the misogynistic tone, she’s labelled as a slag, a goer, ex prostitute, you name it.

I don’t think papers write about women in such hash terms anymore. Maybe she was a bit of a twat, whoever married Saint Paul would have suffered at that time I think.

I suppose by AIBU is are the press less misogynistic.

John, who had spent the last three months doing interview after interview, ramming the Ballard of John and Yoko down the public’s throat, had also told his producer that he probably wouldn’t be seeing him again.

The day after John was shot, Kenneth Anger, who is always in the wrong place at the right time, was interviewed hanging around the crime scene.

Yes, they fired the security guards the week before it happened.

CPL593H · 02/12/2021 11:43

Well, for someone who thought he'd be assassinated, he famously had zero security around him.

EYProvider · 02/12/2021 11:40

Six months before John’s murder, Kenneth Anger met Mark David Chapman in Hawaii. Chapman allegedly gave him six bullets and told him they were for John Lennon. (Both Chapman and Anger have confirmed this.)

Chapman, a part time security guard, then sold a Norman Rockwell painting to buy a ticket to New York.

Chapman and his wife were both satanists.

Meanwhile, John was obsessed with the idea that (1) he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and (2) he would be assassinated.

She was having an affair with Sam Green, an ‘art dealer’, who had been implicated in the murder of Barbara Baekeland, a billionaire heiress, with whom he had also been having an affair.

She had a power of attorney to manage John’s image, finances and life, and she immediately rewrote his will, naming Sam Green as Sean’s guardian in the event that she and John died.

@EYProvider

There’s no conspiracy, *@TheBoots*, just a strange sequence of events.

It’s too complicated to go into details, so I will summarise.

Yoko’s art circle dabbled in Satanism. Actually, it’s probably more accurate to say that they used Satanism as a front for other things. One of them was a filmmaker called Kenneth Anger, who had links to an organisation called the Church of Satan.

Okay I can understand the level of "facts" you are coming from now. I shouldn't have bothered engaging.
EYProvider · 02/12/2021 11:26

The Church of Satan was peripherally linked to the Manson murders through Kenneth Anger.

John and Yoko were living in the apartment where Rosemary’s Baby was filmed. Yoko was obsessed with the occult and her life revolved around voodoo, hypnotism, tarot, numerology, astrology and heroin.

@TomPinch

Well, normally, parents aren't fabulously wealthy and so they don't have to beware of creating some kind of drone that can't make their own way.

But more importantly than that, why the assumption that McCartney should pay Mills when he could pay necessary expenses for his child directly himself?

That is not how child support works. Oh I wont have a fair divorce settlement, just tell me every time our child needs something and I will decide whether to give you the money or not.

This thread is absolutely mad!! I'm enjoying the mad conspiracy theories...maybe John isn't dead after all and is actually in hiding on the moon. Grin

UglyModernWindows · 02/12/2021 09:56

I love this thread too!! Don’t stop ‼️

TomPinch · 01/12/2021 23:56

@Grendalsmum

Wait, John Lennon is dead? When did that happen?
It's OK. He got reincarnated as Kurt.

Where do you want me to start, @MrsPelligrinoPetrichor?

I've loved this thread so far, keep going or start a new thread but don't stop please, I find all this fascinating!

@EightWheelGirl normally a childs living standards are determined by their parents income and wealth. Parents don't normally say, well its my money and so my kids don't need to live as good a lifestyle as I do.

EYProvider · 01/12/2021 22:09

No, it is not ‘tight’, Heather. It is a fortune by anyone’s standards.

No one, except you, cares about this.

Sparklingbrook · 01/12/2021 22:03

@julieca

And how do you know Beatrice will inherit? Have you seen Pauls will?
Oh no don't make us read any more wills. Grin
EightWheelGirl · 01/12/2021 22:00

That really is not a lot from a billionaire.

But he is the billionaire. It's his money. He has the duty to support his kid, not provide a champagne lifestyle for his leaching ex.

julieca · 01/12/2021 21:57

julieca · 01/12/2021 21:57

@EYProvider you are wrong. They had joint custody, Beatrice lived full time with Heather.
A billion pounds is a thousand million. Pauls current worth is 1.2 billion.
2.4 million is 0.25% of his total worth.

If Paul was ordinary with a house worth £150,000 and £50,000 savings, it would be the equivalent of Heather and Beatrice getting £500 as settlement.
So yes it is extremely tight of Paul.

EYProvider · 01/12/2021 21:48

24 million, modest?!!! Jesus Christ, @julieca, are you actually Heather?

McCartney had joint custody of Beatrice, so she lived with him half the time. She only had to slum it on her mum’s 24 mil for the other 50% of the time. She will inherit her share of his fortune, so no harm done.

What a strange sad attitude, @julieca (Heather? Yoko?) Mercenary, in fact.
