So what do you think of Heather Mills? After her recent outburst on GMTV she is the talk of most newspapers once again.

I feel sorry for Heather, She is right in the fact that she gets treated worser then a peadophile or a murderer. I think the abuse she gets is horrific who are we to judge somebody we don't know? For all we know behind closed doors Paul McCartney might have been abusive and horrible and vice versa.

I read an interesting article today on MSN saying about how they think she just wants to tell her story and that is why the Divorce battle is going on because Paul Doesn't want details of their marriage to be released. I find this quite interesting, is being liked all that Heather Mills is after? To clear her name?

Also today in the newspapers, some have launched scathing attacks, purposely misquoting her to make her sound like she is comparing herself to Diana and Kate McCann (when she was really stating them as examples of victims of the press) and i think that is wrong, It's basically printing complete and utter lies, Even This morning picked up on this It's shocking.

In the end I think that she is being quite greedy (or maybe she isn't? We'll never know what her life with paul mcCartney was like) But I think that greed doesn't warrant the media response she gets.

Please don't rip me to shreds please! This is of course just my opinion.

I think it's disgusting how she is hounded by the press. 90% of what the press write is lies. I feel really sorry for her, as I do the McCanns. They should have learned better after Diana. I think the paparazzi should definately be licensed. What was it Heather said yesterday? A "photographer" had 167 offences relating to harassment. It's quite disgusting really. Fortunately, I don't believe anything I read in the press if it's concerning a celebrity.

[Arneldo]

I dont care for. That doesnt mean that I don't like her, It's just I couldn't care.

[GiRTh]

I’ve got nothing against her personally but surely she must understand why people look upon her as a gold digging slut. I believe Macca’s kid, with Linda, were against him marrying Heather from the start. In fact I believe they were very seriously against it.

Her background was always going to come out in the press, so I don’t understand why she didn’t try to control the stories more than she did.

Paul McCartney is a national treasure and a knight of the realm, it’s no surprise that so many people are concerned about his impending divorce. She claims that no money has been discussed. I find that hard to believe. He’s apparently worth the best part of a billion. I remember watching a documentary where two newspapers editors claimed that if she ends up with half of his fortune then they’re going to try their utmost to destroy her in the press. I don’t agree with that stance but I understand why so many people would be unhappy with Heather being awarded half of Sir Pauls estate. Heather needs to accept a ‘small’ settlement of say 50 million - the sum that has been printed in the press - and try and rebuild her reputation.

[Sunny_01]

This is a story of two sides so to speak. Like Diana Heather Mills courted the press, she invited them to be involved in her life. I am not saying that she deserves to be harassed, no-one does, I just think that she should remain dignified and silent about her relationship with Sir Paul. If she takes this approach more people will respect her and a settlement will be reached sooner.

I dont think for one minute she deserves half of Sir Pauls estate, after all part of that was earned by his late wife Linda, why would heather be entitled to a share of that? She was married to him for a brief few years and needs to bow out gracefully. 50 million I would settle for 5 if I were in her shoes with the understanding tha Beatrice's school fees etc were paid for by him and that she would recieve enough to live on should he die.

[supernoodles!]

I actually feel sorry for her,wether or not she has a right to feel this way due to her apparantly 'inviting' the press to hound her the fact remains that she is going through sheer hell atm and seems to have been doing so for some time.
It was sad to watch on GMTV shes obviously in alot of distress and something needs to be done about it.
I also feer for her daughter-I suppose she too 'invited' the press to hound her!Its not fair on her shes just a kid and there should be some law to stop the paps from behaving the way they do.
Id sign up to that thingy she was on about on her website but I cant for the life of me remember it

I think you've misread what Sunny was trying to say. I can't speak for Sunny but I think she meant that by inviting one kind of publicity, and using the press to promote herself, she inadvertently invited negative publicity. Celebrities can't have it both ways; if they invite the press into their lives, to the extent that she did, then there are consequences. Once you let them through the door you can't get them out.

Thank you G that is exactly what I meant!

My opinion is she has flirted with the press and invited them to be a part of her life, she cant pick and choose which bits she wants "sadly"

I dont think her daughter was ever flaunted for the press so I truly believe the press should back off away from that little girl, she is an innocent in this mess and every child has the right to be brought up out of the public eye no matter how famous their parents are.

I feel sorry for Heather that she is obviously very disturbed, she is very depressed about the whole situation and for that I really feel for her, depression is not a fun thing for anyone to deal with.

I feel that the tabloid press in our country have slowly but surely sunk to seriously low levels of integrity, particularly in the area of celebrity and gossip where their careful selection of words often leaves them free from litigation. I have no doubt that Heather Mills has been subjected to an onslaught of such abuse and bullying.

I have long wanted Parliament, a group, or person to take this issue to the courts. However, a government won’t do it because they depend on the press and consider it political suicide to do so. Others haven’t because of the finance required. Heather Mills has the bucks and has already pulled a masterstroke by taking it straight to the European court rather than our own.

Having said that, I am really doubtful that she is the right person to take on this tricky task. To be successful in a court of law where reputation is part of the issue itself one must have a squeaky clean image and history. She once apparently claimed that The British Chamber of Commerce had given her the ‘outstanding person of the year’ award , which came as a surprise to them as there was no such award!!

Her life has been littered with endless such confusions and allegations, many of which will be taken to pieces in a courtroom. When the press are able to provide the tiniest piece of evidence to discredit her it will doubtless cause the challenge to fail before it even starts.

I would advise her to finance an anti bullying organization to undertake this litigation, using her experiences as only a bit part to the case. I feel there are many others who have suffered worse ordeals.



An interesting insight into the life of Heather Mills.
Hope this link works.

Edit: I have deleted a small part of my post relating to the employment of Heather Mills at a certain jewellery shop. This was something written in her book, but didn’t rest comfortably for me within my post.

I agree with Arneldo, I don't really have an opinion.. doesn't mean I dislike her.

[Billy]

I dont know much about it, but noticed what Katie Price said. When she was on SCD she was whizzing about on the dancefoor, but when things get tough she gets her leg out. Im not being bad against disabilites as its not that I have a problem with it.

[Jackie]

Im not sure what to think of her i did see her interview on Gmtv,she was really mad at the press and i do think she has a hard time.

No, you're not being unkind about disability. There are many people who feel that she is inclined to focus on all areas that portray her as a victim. This is unfortunate and probably won't help her case.

I am not really a supporter of her but not certain if that's because I have been so brainwashed by what I have read or if in fact she is genuinely a bit too manipulative. ??

I guess we can let the courts decide on how fair or unfair she has been treated.

[Sod_James]

I feel quite sorry for her.

[J.C.]

A divorce specialist on GMT this morning has suggested that the outburst by Heather Mills on American TV today may have broken subjudicy laws, preventing her from revealing information about her current divorce.

She is running the risk of being in contempt of court, something that can technically result in a prison sentence.

According to the lawyer,this could now cost her £20 million and potentially give Macca the opportunity to apply for some type of residency order over his daughter.

I think this is a further example of why she may not be the best person to take our press to the European court. Imo, this is important because if she starts the process and then fails, it could be years before anyone else dares to tackle an issue which many people feel is a genuine problem with the UK press.

[DreadPirate]

Don't like her. Obvious money grabbing cow, out to fleece Paul McCartney for all his hard earned Beatles money.

[001steven]

the Papers have spreaded alot of horrible rumours about heather i beleieve what she says about Paul.. i mean why does he want her to keep quiet of what went on behind closed doors... strange if you ask me....i meanapparently he dragged her out of bed... without her leg ect why dont he just give her the 50million he is loaded he will make that up again Due to the MASSIVE interest he will get on his money

[\PJ/]

I watched this LIVE it was a little bit embarrasing but i did feel a little bit sorry for her.

[001steven]

i felt sorry for her i mean Death Threats is true i mean there are some maniacs who are OVER the top with celebrities.....im on her side sorry but i think she IS telling the truth

[Cfan]

I feel sorry for her, she's only claiming what she's entitled to and if she wanted to she could take millions more off him. It really annoys how Paul's come out of this smelling of roses and she's been made out to be queen bitch.

[spacebandit]

Money grabbing groupie slag - although about to be, probably, the single most succesful money grabbing groupie slag.

The end result of this "marriage" was obvious from the getgo, it would end in tears and recrimination and big fat paycheck for Mills.

You didn't need supernatural abilities to predict it - it was soooo obvious.


So - a money grabbing groupie slag it is.

There are *****s and Pretty Woman fans looking on, and dreaming the green dream of the envious every day she keeps herself in the gossip columns.

entitled to?

She's entitled to millions of pounds for this divorce is she? My arse she is. She's a money-grabbing bitch.

And as for the person who said "Why should Paul want this to go on quietly behind closed doors?" - Because some people value privacy, and not all celebrities are publicity-seeking *****s trying to scream out about what's happening with their everyday lives.

Divorces are a very private affair.

[Matt]

Oh god... don't get me started on Heather Mills

[001steven]
