Heather Mills McCartney Loses Leg In Row With J Lo's Guards
http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/61252004.htm

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY'S amputee wife HEATHER MILLS McCARTNEY lost her prosthetic leg during a violent confrontation with security guards at JENNIFER LOPEZ's New York office.

The incident happened on Tuesday (13SEP05) as the former model-turned animal rights activist attempted to deliver a People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) DVD showing creatures being killed for fur to Lopez, following a demonstration at which the 37-year-old pleaded with fans to boycott the superstar's music, movies and clothes because she uses fur in her fashion range Sweetface.

After striding into the building opposite Manhattan's Bryant Park, accompanied by an entourage of journalists and photographers, McCartney Mills - who lost a leg after being hit by a car in 1993 - was confronted by burley minders who yelled "you have no authority to be here. Get out! Leave the floor immediately!"

In the tussle that ensued, Mills McCartney's prosthetic leg became detached.

She bent down and clutched her knee in pain, before asking to use a bathroom so she could reattach the leg. Guards refused and she was forced to cling onto a photographer as she carried out the humiliating task on a stairwell.

Photographer Richard Corkery tells 25hoursonline.com, "I saw her touch her knee and I could see she was in pain. She limped to the ladies room but it was locked. I found another door open - it lead on to the stairwell. At least she could have a private moment - which is what she needed." .

According to 25hoursonline.com, Lopez's guards continued to verbally attack the group - screaming "Call the cops! Call the cops!!" - until Mills McCartney recovered her composure and was able to leave the building.

Meanwhile husband SIR PAUL McCARTNEY is backing his younger brother against claims he groped a waitress at a party, calling the allegations "ludicrous".

MIKE McCARTNEY, 61, has been charged with sexual assault following the incident in a suburb of the brothers' native Liverpool, England.

But the former BEATLE, 63, is adamant his brother, "A devoted family man," is innocent.

He says, "Mike has respect for people and has earned respect for himself in his professional and private life."

I feel so bad for her. I can't imagine how humiliating that must have been, especially with those goons being so cruel and nasty about it.

Yes, I agree, it sounds like they werent very nice to her to say the least. Oh well, I remember one time hearing this story about J-LO that in London she and her entire posse got into the limo to go like 50 feet from one end of the hotel courtyard to the other.

J Lo's a heartless bitch. There have been campaigns for months to get her to stop using fur in her clothing line and she won't hear any of it. She even used her "clout" to get Billboard to pull a PETA ad. I won't pay to see any of her movies and I certainly won't buy one of her **** albums.

That is really awful. On the other hand, what a good way to draw attention to your plight.

GODDESS6 · #8 09-17-2005, 10:35 AM

Hey now - PETA could never have any intentions like that

On edit and because I just cannot resist

Who does HM she is that she can "stride" uninvited into a private office with an entourage apparently immediately after publicly insulting the people in their and with the sole intent of causing trouble. Did she think they would welcome her with open arms because she is someone famous' wife? Moreover, why didn't she just leave when told to leave, which could have avoided the tussle that happened after she was told to leave. Thus, according to the facts presented in this article, HM acted in a way that knowingly put her in situation where she could be thrown out and J-Lo is not at fault for what happened.

I do think she should have been allowed to put her leg back on, but I am sure after the tussle people were really not inclined to be nice to her. This is PETA we are talking about and they are known to use violence to get their point across no matter how genuinely noble their point is.

I'm not fooled by the rocks that she's got, J-lo is a bitch. She's approaching "washed up" status quicker then she can fire an assistant for not opening her water bottle before giving to her.

They torture the animals before they die. The traps that are set to catch them usually don't kill them, only wounding them instead. Then they're put into cages to suffer until these butchers deem it time to skin them. When they do murder them, they either electrocute them, poison them with carbon-monoxide, break their necks, slit their throats, or strangulate them. Unfortunately, a great number of them do not die from any of that and end up being skinned alive. People who wear real fur when they can wear faux fur sicken me.

I tend to agree. Its one thing to demonstrate across the street, thats protected speech. But to agressively enter someones office and berate them and get in their face, what did she expect? Her cause may be worthy, but her methods crossed the line. PETA lost some credibility for me when they started resorting to agressive protests, vandalism and intimidation tactics.
Sorry. not a good way to get people to sympathize with your cause IMO.

That's the whole point, not any of that other predictable stuff you said. It was downright cruel for them to treat her the way she did after her leg fell off. I get that they were pissed off and wanted her out, but christ, that was low.

In any event, Heather Mills McCartney's behavior in no way changes how heartless and disgusting an individual J Lo is for using real fur in her clothing line.

Janet · #15 09-17-2005, 11:20 AM

I just don't understand why HM didn't do things in a different manner. It's totally humiliating how that all went down but I just don't get why the woman, with her newfound clout, just didn't go about it differently.

Fur is horrible, I would never wear it. I never touch veal either.

But there are ways to go about protesting it without looking like a crazy madwoman. The story of the leg will be alot bigger than the issue at hand, that J.Lo hates furry little animals.
