The very first article is from US.

And I'm sorry - I think Heather's full of it..I just have a feeling. You're telling me that for years and years this abusive man has been allowed to go on -with tons of staff, paparazzi and other around? No it just doesn't add up

not for years and years....I think its probably as a result of his depression over Linda's death. I think that devastated him and he never really was the same, and I could see a depressed man drinking too much and being violent and verbally cruel. yes I can.

oh and the first article is from the Daily Mail, which I know nothing about. I dont know if it is a tabloid or just a daily paper...but I'd be willing to bet its a daily paper.

EDIT: Deanna, I thought you were referring to Chris' article about Heather's tapes. Thats the one IM referring to...

Oh yeah - we were talking about two different articles - I brought up the thread starting article...but yeah -that's not the source that talks about the tapes.

I'll just be interested to see how this whole thing plays out. If she is exaggerating (I do believe there is some truth to this - as has been said re: the drinking and verbal abuse) she picked the wroooong man to try to take down.

A NEW wrinkle:

Heather Mills McCartney sues newspapers

By TARIQ PANJA, Associated Press Writer Tue Oct 24, 2:45 PM ET

LONDON - Heather Mills McCartney's lawyers said Tuesday she is suing two newspapers over "false, damaging and immensely upsetting" stories surrounding her divorce from Paul McCartney.

The law firm Mishcon de Reya named the Daily Mail and London's Evening Standard as the subject of legal proceedings, adding that a suit will also be filed against The Sun.

Mills McCartney had been vilified in the media and was now being stalked by photographers, the firm said. It alleged that other newspapers had also printed false statements but the three listed would be the focus of the lawsuit.

"She cannot sue — for now, at least — every single newspaper that has published false, damaging, and immensely upsetting statements about her. She should not thereby be taken to have accepted that these statements are true," the statement read.

Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and the Evening Standard, said the stories about Mills McCartney in both papers "were obtained by proper methods and in accordance with good journalistic practice."

"Our exclusive stories were extensively followed up in detail by all other newspapers and media outlets," it said in a statement. The publisher said it would deal with the legal claim "in the normal way."

The McCartney divorce has become the most sensational marital breakup since
Prince Charles and Princess Diana parted ways a decade ago, sparking immense rivalry in the British press for the best scoop.

Last week, the Daily Mail splashed its front page with what appeared to be legal papers drafted by Mills McCartney's lawyers against the former Beatle that alleged drug use, drunkenness, callousness about his wife's amputated leg, indifference to her pain, and even an assault with a broken wine glass.

Mills McCartney's lawyers said British media claims that she has been offered a $56 million settlement by her husband are false and "the truth is that no settlement offer, in any amount, has been made."

"She is pursued everywhere she goes. She is stalked by press photographers, who congregate outside her home and chase after her in cars — regardless of her safety or the safety of her daughter," her lawyers said.

Mishcon de Reya issued a copy of a letter, apparently from The Mail on Sunday's investigations editor Dennis Rice, offering Heather's sister Fiona a "substantial sum" for information about the divorce.

It said the letter was hand-delivered and promised anonymity.

"It requires no imagination to conclude what kind of information was being sought from our client's closest confidante, nor why the assurance of confidentiality was believed to be necessary," the statement said. "We ask on behalf of our client for the media, as a matter of common decency, please now to show some restraint."

Associated Newspapers said the Mail on Sunday had been "led to believe that Fiona Mills had important information about this case and a perfectly proper and courteous approach was made to her."



well well well.............comments anyone?

^^

Yes - I STILL think it's bogus - of COURSE she's going to sue - but she still won't win...she doesn't have a leg to stand on as the saying goes.

I really think this will come out in the end - her psychosis will come out in the end....

Oh...and the timing of this? Her accusations came out right as Paul was going to push for custody of Beatrice. Shifty. It's bullsh*t and I believe Heather is a lying slag.

Yep...we'll definitely have to wait and see...Heather's own father has said she's bonkers....as have various other sources - the gal is going to get her ass handed to her.

So we'll have to agree to disagree where one HEather Mills is concerned.
