Heather Mills:

[LucyJu]

Apparently. Obviously, I have no idea whatsoever if any of this is true.

agree with custy

Northerner - none of us knows about paul and linda nor will we ever
they were very private
Makes them clever but does not make Paul beyond reproach

ahem - custy's criticism was a fairly big one though...
HM is so incredibly hard to warm to (not that Ive ever met her), so I feel like giving her ex h the benefit of the doubt.

I remember thinking at the time (when they got together) that it was too soon after Linda's death, but most of the men I spoke to thought it was a perfectly decent amount of time.

I'd smack her one if I saw her, she isn't doing herself any favours that one.

The whole world (rightly or wrongly we'll never know) told him that she was a gold digging, drama making,tempestuous, dishonest ,media whore before they married.
I also question the brilliance of playing this all out in the media, but with the whole world slating her morning noon and night and beatifying Sir Paul of the Beloved Beatles - If it was me I'd be sullying him some too.

I think anyone who has not lived with a prosthesis and an amputation should not judge how it was she came to be stuck getting up stairs or how she crawled dragging things

I can well believe him falling out of love with her if she was as diffcult to live with as reports suggest - this can make people quite resentful esp as he was the "provider" and he might well have wanted to cause her some pain and shame.

Many of us here have been through devastating break ups, maybe the Sun and Mirror are famous peoples mumsnet

people tried to warn him.

his own kids tried.

he didn't listen.

you make your bed, so to speak . . .

The man is a legend. I guess I am older than most of you, the Beatles were incredible in their day. Everyone had a crush on Paul. He is incredibly talented and I guess for that reason it is so difficult for me to believe the things that Heather is saying...he wanted to be happy I believe. I never thought it was going to work for them, but I wished him all the happiness. As for the drinking and the drugs--I am sure this is part of his life as a musician and will always be that way, for her to think she would "change" him is ridiculous. I don't believe the Paul will ever find a love like Linda again. I guess I overlook his purple hair or the fact that he is an "old man" because I remember him when he was young and gorgeous.

I'm a bit disturbed by almost everyone here assuming that she's made it all up. Perpetrators of domestic violence often do appear to be paragons to the outside world. And as for the suggestion that she shouldn't be raising these matters in the divorce case in order to protect their daughter, would anyone on here be saying that about any other woman who said that she had been abused by her husband/partner? And no, I'm not a fan of hers.

Agree with sunchowder. Athough not quite part of my childhood, ahem, have such affection for the Beatles (and always seem to pick boyfriends who are huge fans) that I just can't think too badly of him.

Agree with ks as well. But not re being obsessed with the bedppan.

Campari? Italian boyfriends? They are compulsory at least once in your life.

the bedpan one sounds a bit suss. I mean didn't she already have one if that's what she did?

The bf comments don't sound like Paul either. He and Linda were into all things natural.

It's all very sordid.

Called her an "ungrateful bitch" in a dispute over an office.

An 'office'? WTF?

KS, I can assure you - there are some unlucky buggers like me that do pee in the night whether preg or not!

Agree Ghouls, since when would someone as wealthy as HMM have to ask her husband to buy a bedpan.

It's all very strange as you say.

I wouldnt know who to believe. I think her lawyers would have advised her differently if she couldn't prove it though - dont you? All that money at stake?

well unless she diaried it she can't prove it can she.

She may be telling the truth she may not - maybe she's going for the 'mud sticks' line to try and discredit him?

tbh I don't really care

Have never warmed to either of them - Have a friend who worked for Eurostar who told me that PM booked a train to go to Paris - he booked an entire carriage so he didn't have to sit with the lesser mortals - then 30 mins before departure he got a refund for all but 2 of the tickets - so he travelled alone but didn't have to pay for it. Honestly - what are these celebs like !

I don't think she would know the truth if it came up and biffed her on the nose. She is well-documented as being, if not an outright fibber, certainly a serial confabulator. Why should anyone believe her this time?

You might have thought her lawyers would have warned her that people who tell porkies are not going to be believed subsequently and that she'd do her cause more harm than good.

Meantime their little DD is bound to suffer. If they weren't getting on before they certainly won't now.

old cow.

I'm not judging her, and I do know people who are amputees, but I just cannot work out this thing about not being able to get a wheelchair ups the stairs, not to mention her statement about crawling out of the house on her hands and knees dragging her wheelchair and crutches. And she is a bit of a stranger to the truth, which makes people sceptical about everything you say in the end, sadly.
I'm sure he is pretty ghastly to live with too and they clearly tormented each other pretty thoroughly.
