Heather Mills, Paul McCartney’s
estranged wife, has said that she has
received death threats and has
considered suicide since her
separation from the ex-Beatle star.
In an interview to ABC News, Heather
Mills, 39, broke her silence about her
ongoing divorce and expressed her
“disgust” with the media and refuted
allegations that she is a “gold
digger.” She said she was not after
any money.
Heather Mills told ABC News that she
had told McCartney, “Please protect
me.” However, she complained that her
desperate appeal was not heeded beyond
one paragraph in her defense posted on
McCartney’s website.
In the interview, Heather Mills
suggested that there was the
possibility of a quiet divorce, but
that McCartney, 65, would not accept
that. “It could have
all been over, and done with very,
very quietly had McCartney protected
me,” she said.
Heather Mills, former model, alleged
that she was not provided any security
amid death threats and, instead, has
been forced to ask McCartney for money
for herself and the couple’s daughter
Beatrice.
She also said that she now owes her
lawyers $3 million.
In the ABC News interview, Heather
Mills aimed her worst censure at the
media, which she said “manufactures
lies.”
Heather said she set up the website
Youcare.com for people to log on and
register supposed lies reported in the
press.
Heather Mills was a contestant on
ABC’s Dancing With the Stars in the
United States, an experience she said
she enjoyed.
She said at the interview that she
would like to live in the United
States, but cannot do so because Paul
McCartney does not want their daughter
to grow up with an “American accent.”
Beatrice is “stuck in a village” so
that her daughter can be close to her
father,” Heather alleged.
During the interview, Heather Mills
had wept, even while accusing the
media of branding her a “whore” and a
“gold digger.”
She promised to grant Sir Paul a quick
and easy divorce and “walk away with
nothing” if he admitted responsibility
for the breakdown of their marriage.
Heather Mills went on, “I fell in love
with a man, not a Beatle. I fell in
love with someone that chased me for
three months, that people forget, that
he
wooed me, that he was a broken man
when I met him. And everybody around
him knows he wouldn’t perform, he
hadn’t performed for a long time. If
actually someone sat down and did
their proper research and looked at
the facts, I was a huge support for
Paul. I put all my own work, except my
charity, on hold for the seven and a
half years we were together.”
When asked who she thought was behind
the death threats, Heather Mills
replied, “Well, I can’t say who I
think; it is because it will affect
our family, but I know a lot of
information and, you know, certain
people don’t want certain things
coming out because of their image.”
She also criticised the tabloid press
for “putting front-page news about
divorces instead of front-page news
about global warming and important
issues.”
Heather Mills met Sir Paul McCartney
in 1999 at a charity event and they
married at a remote countryside castle
in Ireland in 2002.
She gave birth to Beatrice in the
autumn of 2003, and the couple
announced their separation in May
2006.
