A different take on Heather Mills McCartney

JUST for the record - and because the girl is mourning the breakdown of her marriage, recovering from a major operation on her amputated leg, and enduring a complete character assassination - I actually admire Heather McCartney.

I've met her several times, and although I wouldn't call her the warmest person I've ever encountered, she has always struck me as a doer, someone who could have been a victim, but became a fighter instead.

I will always remember what Sir Paul McCartney told me when I asked him the secret of his long-lasting marriage to Linda:

"She still interests me," he said. "Every single day she interests me." And the same could surely be said of his second wife.

Heather is ballsy, sometimes disconcertingly direct, and a tad defensive, but then you would be if you'd been kicked out by your parents as a teenager and forced to live on the streets. I like her.

And I like her, not despite, but because of the things she's been accused of recently. She's lied about her past? She only fibbed to drag herself out of her past.

She's used her body for porn pictures and allegedly sold it to wealthy Arabs? If she has, so what? She hasn't harmed anyone.

She's a money-grabber? That'll be why she spends her life working for charity then.

She tried to change Sir Paul? Well, she got him off the wacky baccy if that's what you mean. Oh and she couldn't see what was so special about The Beatles. She's not alone there.

Let's put it another way - she's a gobby, gutsy girl from a rough background who did whatever it took to drag herself away from her past. After making it as a model she tragically lost her leg, but gained the motivation to fight for others who've lost limbs.

In 1996 she received a Nobel Peace prize nomination. And then she bagged a Beatle! And if it had been anyone else we'd all be thinking 'Aah, what a rags-toriches fairytale.'

And they might have lived happily ever after, only no one wanted happiness for Heather.

The woman has a point.

I wonder how much Heather paid this lady to write this.

I'm sorry, there are a lot of girls who get kicked out of their homes that don't go out and pose nude. If she's so 'disconcertingly direct', instead of trying to act like the victim, why doesn't Heather just fess up to it, say yeah, I did it and that's that? When you pose for pornographic photographs, you have to know that at some point whether it be 5 yrs down the line, 10 yrs down the line or 30 yrs down the line, they just might come back to bite you in the ass. She wasn't 16 or 17 when she posed for those photographs. She was well into her 20's. She knew what she was doing. And she also knew what she was doing when she married Paul McCartney if you ask me.

When the author of this article calls Heather 'defensive' and 'ballsy', I don't know if that's a good thing. It sort of insinuates a woman with a difficult personality. This writer didn't have to live with that shit--Paul McCartney did and he apparently didn't find it very easy. Add to that Heather's 'colorful' past, her troublesome childhood and God knows what else, there's no doubt in my mind that she has 'issues'. Yeah, losing a limb may have somehow changed the direction her life was going (and it doesn't look like it was too great), but there is no doubt in my mind that there has to be major problems, something very wrong, for Paul McCartney to file for divorce.

Paul is better off without her.

I actually find myself agreeing with the author but I've never been one of those that thought it was a travesty that she married St. Paul either.

So what if she's done dirt in the past. Everyone had skeletons in their closet.

PrettyGirl · June 19th, 2006, 05:43 AM

No one is a saint...and ahhhhh, should've known the 'saint' word was gonna come up...it does get it's full use around here with 'St. Angelina'. We should upgrade now. How about Pope? Heck, let's go even further, let's make him an archangel....lol

UndercoverGator · June 19th, 2006, 05:44 AM

Pope Paul, I like it, has a nice ring to it..

buttmunch · June 19th, 2006, 07:38 AM

Sounds vaguely familiar.

Alphachimp · June 19th, 2006, 09:51 AM

No one wanted happiness for her? Yeah, now it's everyone else's fault that her marriage failed. Poor, poor Heather - everyone's out to get her...

I don't feel the least bit sorry for her. Trust me, she's a tough cookie and she'll get through the divorce just fine-

I still don't see what the big frickin deal is about the porn pics. It was like ages ago, I don't think anyone really even cares especially Paul and why would he? I mean, most men would think it hot to see their wives naked and sexual. Ask your own hubby or boyfriend or siginificant other.

buttmunch · June 19th, 2006, 10:20 AM

I'm with you, darksith. People do things when they're young that they perhaps don't realize might come back and bite them in the ass when they get a bit older. And really, big fucking deal. I don't think he cares any more than anyone else should. Dear me, showing your naughty bits. Gasp.

Yeah maybe back in my prime. Now that my chesticles need to be rolled up into my bra each day I am not so sure. LOL

LynnieD · June 19th, 2006, 04:21 PM

Ok, I love Paul McCartney and The Beatles. I seriously do--like to an unhealthy extent.
Having said that, I thought he could have done better than this Ice Queen. BUT--she does do a lot of charity work (isn't that how they met?), and she is passionate about many things. I think her personality is just sooo horrid that some people have a really hard time getting past it, like myself.

I could give two shits if she posed nude, was a prostitute, drug dealer, whatever. Nor do I care if she was kicked out of the house as a teenager, so was I!

It all comes down to that god awful personality/ego of hers. If she handled herself better, she could have been liked far better.

Hell, even I started to like Linda McCartney....though not Yoko. Never Yoko.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

Bless my breasts, they are still standing proud...although it's only a matter of time, I suppose...

nana55 · June 19th, 2006, 06:21 PM

Here's another "roll up my boobies in my bra" gal. I'm old enough to have been a teen during the Beatles era. So of course I didn't like Heather. She saying she didn't really like the Beatles tells me she has a major character flaw.

She didn't like the fact that Paul got so much attention! Give me a break, what the hell did she expect. She just hoped some of the fame and attention would rub off. Why would a young good-looking woman marry an old man unless it was because he was rich or famous. She sure didn't seem to like his personality. Complained he was "boring".

ediebrooks · June 19th, 2006, 06:26 PM

Another "Poor Ole Heather" article. I don't feel sorry for her one bit. She's a tough broad and she can take care of herself. I do feel sorry for little Beatrice. She didn't ask to be born and she's about 5 years away from being teased on playgrounds about Mummy being a hooker and a porn queen.
