This Makes Me So Sad...

[tiggersmom2]

I have always thought her mentally unstable after the PETA incident....

 

[apirateslifeforme]

I've heard that a LOT of people in the industry who know one or both of them can't stand her.

I never thought he'd get married again. My grandmother and I both think he did out of loneliness.

 

[Annam26]

Well, the part about him keeping her from buyin' the antique bedpan
pushed it to the loony part for me, especially with her (lawyers)
playin' up her leg situation. I think they (lawyers) are tryin' to
push this to the limit of extortion, thinkin' he'll pay her to shut the
bleep up with these crazy accusations. Sad situation

ITA. And what about the part where she cites a couple of instances about her being forced to to crawl on the floor?

She's been denounced as a compulsive liar many times before, and her lies have always been over the top -A famous one: "I'd never heard about the Beatles" And other claims of a deprived and abused childhood, which were later proven to be false.

OP, it also broke my heart yesterday when I read this. I remember once when Linda was talking in an interview about how much Paul cared what the public and people in general though about him. He's had such a clean, good reputation for forty years. Now this...woman is trying to destroy it.

Sadly, some people who dislike Paul for some reason (mostly because they don't like his music) have taken these allegations and ran away with them
making all kinds of sarcastic and hateful remarks even when they know most of the allegations are too outrageous to be true.

My Grandmother used to say this about gossip: Take a feather pillow on top of a hill on a windy day. Tear it apart and watch all the feathers fly. Say you regret it later and what to restore the pillow. Go and try to take each and every feather back. It will be impossible as they will have spread everywhere far beyond your reach. Same with gossip. Even if you regret what you said afterwards you will never be able to undo the damage and make it the way it was before.

Poor, poor Paul. My heart aches for him.

 

[Chilehead Too]

I can't imagine Linda would have put up with such garbage.

My feelings as well. I have always been a big Paul McCartney fan. I would be hard pressed to believe anything from that womans mouth. Complete lunatic she is coming off as. The bedpan story and the crawling has sealed the deal. Whacko

I have always thought her mentally unstable after the PETA incident....

Which one??? There have been several.

 

[GraysMom]

I sincerely hope Heather doesn't get any kind of custody (other than supervised visits) although I doubt that will happen. Imagine what kinds of things she will poison her daughter's mind to think about her father . Unfortunately since Paul is famous and busy, he might not have as much face to face time with Beatrice to show her what he's really made of. So sad.

 

[Hannathy]

she's giving her age and stupidity away when she said he wouldn't let her breastfeed. Why Paul and Linda where some of the original back to nature, vegetarians out there. Does anyone else remember the magazine article and pictures from when the lived in Scotland or ireland or somewhere like that in the cottage and their kids, toddlers ran around naked and ate all natural foods, yeah this sounds like a man who wouldn't want his wife to breast feed.

I was very angry at Paul when he married her, I thought it was to quick after Linda. And I also felt he shouldn't remarry anyway but that's my personal oppinion, so at first I kinda thought good for you I hope she takes you for millions(like that would hurt him) but now she is just getting vicious and nuts.

 

[Disney Doll]

I thought she was a gold-digger from the word go.

Widowers often make bad decisions, as I truly don't think men are as capable of being alone once they have been happily married. I have known of many of my parents' contemporaries who have done this same thing. After a long, happy marriage with their first wife, they remarry quickly and realize later that it was a mistake.

I recall his kids not being all too thrilled about thier marriage at the time...perhaps he should have listened????

 

[Sk8Leigh]

Exactly. Stella, particularly, was against the marriage, and he didn't listen. At least he has them to help him through this now. He'll really need them.

I'm sorry, Macca, for introducing you to this monster
By Piers Morgan. A personal view

Last updated at 08:13am on 19th October 2006

Like most Mail readers, I read the McCartney divorce papers yesterday with mounting astonishment. But unlike everyone else, I also read them with a mounting sense of guilt. It was me, after all, who first introduced Paul to Heather, at the Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards in 1999.

I remember the moment well. It was Macca's first real public appearance since the death of his wife, Linda, and he turned up an hour late after agonising all morning whether to come or not.

'This is not easy for me,' he whispered tearfully in my ear, as one particularly heroic piece of child bravery was saluted.

More here...
• The McCartneys at war


I genuinely felt for him. But Paul perked up enormously when a feisty buxom lady called Heather Mills marched on stage and delivered a speech about a young girl who had lost her legs to meningitis.

Heather was articulate, opinionated, determined, well-researched and inspiring.

I introduced her to Paul after the show, and before I knew it they'd fallen in love. It was supposed to be the happy-ever-after script that everyone wanted for the world's favourite, tragic, Beatle.

But Heather quickly began attracting unfavourable headlines. Her past, to put it mildly, was 'murky'. She'd been a party girl for wealthy Arabs, had run through boyfriends and fiancés like a bull through Pamplona, and developed an unfortunate tendency to tell endless porky pies about herself.

She was also a fiery little number, prone to rages, rows and general 'anger management' issues.

Stories soon emerged that the marriage was in trouble - at one stage I was played a tape of a message Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone.

It was heartbreaking. The couple had clearly had a tiff, Heather had fled to India, and Paul was pleading with her to come back. He sounded lonely, miserable and desperate, and even sang 'We Can Work It Out' into the answerphone.

But despite it all, I still rather liked and admired Heather. When I interviewed her for a TV series, I found her to be a tough cookie with a waspish sense of humour, who was rightly proud of the very effective work she does for charity.

But I also didn't believe a lot of what she said, and thought she was ludicrously obsessed with - and touchy about - the Press. I could also sense a growing - and even more ludicrous - irritation that she had to constantly play second fiddle to Paul.

Becoming 'Lady' Heather had compounded her sense of self worth to dangerously high levels, and I began hearing more and more stories of her diva behaviour.

The separation, when it came, only served to confirm what many already suspected: there had been three of them in the marriage - Paul, Heather and her Ego, and one of them had to go. It was Paul.

Since the split, she's been fighting a PR war with Macca - from being photographed locked out of his house, to hiring Princess Diana's divorce lawyer. Operation Make-Me-A-Martyr has been fought with ruthless efficiency in the pages of the popular press over the last few months.

What Heather has never understood, though, is that she can NEVER supplant a Beatle in public affection. However difficult Paul might be - and I suspect that, like most geniuses, he's not the easiest guy to live with - he's still the man who wrote Yesterday, Hey Jude and Let It Be. And the man who had one of the happiest, most loyal marriages in showbusiness, until Linda was so cruelly taken from him.

We all love Macca because he's always seemed such a nice, ordinary type, relatively untainted by fame. And that's why Heather has made such a hideous mistake in making all these horrible allegations about her husband in the divorce papers.

Even if she was not directly responsible for the leak, she must have known that the details would come out, and presumably assumed we'd all read them with horror and a sudden new sympathy for this poor, tortured, tormented soul.

But we didn't, Heather. We all read them with horror alright - horror that you could be so disgusting about our Paul. As for sympathy, that's all going to swing even further his way. Fast.

Let me be clear at this point. There is nothing remotely comical about genuine victims of domestic abuse. But the woman who emerges from these papers is no victim.

The picture the documents paint is of a self-obsessed, demanding, selfish, whining woman, apparently intent on making Paul's life as unhappy as possible.

Every two paragraphs, another incident seems to have occurred because Heather was, by her own admission, 'in a bad mood', usually because someone's said something nasty about her on TV or in a paper.

On one extraordinary occasion she even tries to get Paul to pull out of the Superbowl in America, the single biggest entertainment event in the world, because the Sunday Times is about to be *****y about her - and Rupert Murdoch owns both the paper and Fox TV, the Superbowl's official broadcaster.

I laughed out loud when I read that. The sheer scale of her self delusion is scary.

As is her hypocrisy. Heather always used to bang on about how she didn't want people to think of her as 'disabled.' She wanted us to treat her as a perfectly normal, able-bodied person.

Yet her court papers are peppered with constant references to her disability. She's permanently either 'crawling up' stairs, or slithering on her hands and knees on to planes, or trapped wheelchair-bound and helpless.

But later we read that she's strong enough to haul a drunken Macca out of the bath, upstairs and into bed.

Make your mind up Heather, you're either Stephen Hawking or Superwoman. Which is it to be?

I felt thoroughly sickened by the time I finished raking through this self-serving rant.

Any sympathy I once had for Miss Mills has evaporated. Instead, I am filled with guilt and sorrow that, as a lifelong Beatles fan, I am at least partly responsible for the hell Paul McCartney is going through at the hands of this vengeful, shameless, ghastly woman.

Paul, it may be a bit late now, but I'm sorry.

 

[Mary Anne]

Wow, that is some article. I have to say after reading it she makes Yoko One look like a Saint.

 

[RitaZ.]

I'm with the skeptics. She was really clever to have a baby with him, he will be tied to her for the rest of his life.

 

[Mono~rail]

Oh, please! Heather Mills is far too tough to let any man beat on her! She lived on the streets of London as a teenager! She's a liar!

Paul McCartney lived happily in a stable marriage for many decades with Linda. He would still be married to her had she not passed away. Heather Mills, on the other hand, has a record of unstable affairs, marriages, and engagements.

I wouldn't believe a word she said if her tongue came notarized!

LOL
I totally agree with you.
