Heather Mills' divorce blame game

Sep 27, 2006, 14:52 GMT

Serious allegations about Sir Paul McCartney's treatment of estranged wife Heather Mills will be made public in the divorce courts.

Lawyer Antony Julius has been compiling a file of complaints Heather has made about the former Beatles legend and Heather is reportedly determined not to be portrayed as the "bad guy" in court.

A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Heather has made a series of very serious allegations against Paul which are set to come out in court. She feels her character has been damaged irrevocably by stories leaked about her. If all goes to plan, what has happened in this marriage will not remain secret.

"Heather will not want to go down in history as 'Evil Heather' - the bad guy in this marriage."

Since the pair split in May, allegations emerged that Heather was once was a high-class prostitute - claims which she vehemently denies - and pictures were published of her posing naked in a German sex book.

The source revealed: "Heather feels she has been struggling against the might of 'Team Macca' since the break-up. She feels that Paul's side has been constantly leaking stories about her. Stories about her being offered £30 million for a quickie divorce and turning it down.

"There has been no offer yet. She has £1 million in a bank account and that's it."

A key part of the evidence against Paul is said to be the taped conversation between the 64-year-old and his daughter Stella.

The source said: "The pair are heard speaking unguardedly about their true feelings for Heather. The fact that this tape fell into Heather's hand has been unfortunate for Paul and is bound to cost him dear. Heather's lawyers will certainly be using it as a bargaining tool."
