Heather Mills says Paul McCartney also beat Linda

[teforde23]

A close friend told The Mail on Sunday: "She told me that he did to Linda what he did to her. She says that staff of Paul's told her that Linda had also suffered abuse."
The allegation sickened friends of Sir Paul, who said the war of words between the couple had now reached a new low. His marriage to Linda was famously loving and there is no evidence whatsoever that he ever attacked her. Even friends of Ms Mills admitted the claim would make her look ridiculous.

Already Ms Mills' honesty was being called into question yesterday. The Mail on Sunday has learned she has told friends that police were called on several occasions during fights with Sir Paul - but police appear to have no records of such incidents.

This newspaper can also reveal Ms Mills will make an application to the High Court on November 3 for the £1billion divorce case to be heard in open court. The full case is expected to go ahead next March. The latest shocking allegation appears to be part of Ms Mills' increasingly desperate attempts to justify the claims that she was attacked by Sir Paul on four occasions.

She has insisted to her friends she has evidence, yet there is a total lack of support for the bizarre claim that he attacked Linda.

"Vilest woman"

Writer and vegetarian campaigner Carla Lane, who was one of Linda McCartney's best friends, said: "That's nonsense. I haven't said anything about Paul since all this blew up but I can't let that pass. I was very close to Linda and I know she would have confided in me if anything like that had happened. It's just not true."

Sir Paul's former publicist Geoff Baker said: "It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. How long is it going to be before she falls into the sewer that she seems to be making her home?

"Everyone knows, and it goes without saying, that Paul and Linda had one of the happiest marriages in showbusiness. In my opinion, Heather Mills is now making a bid to become the vilest woman in Britain."

And a close friend of Sir Paul's said: "It's a horrible thing to suggest and Paul will be very upset. He doted on Linda and she doted on him. It's just not in his nature to do that."

Another added: "This is ridiculous. This is a man who gets distressed if he steps on an insect."

A friend of Ms Mills, 38, said the pressure of the divorce was now taking a huge emotional toll on her. She was suffering from alarming mood swings and insomnia, and making increasingly outlandish - and sometimes contradictory - claims.

Sir Paul was married to Linda for 30 years and they reportedly only spent a week apart until she died of breast cancer in 1998. He insisted she played in Wings, the band he formed after the Beatles split, and doggedly defended her against any criticism.

Sir Paul has also continued to support all the causes she espoused, including maintaining her range of vegetarian food, founding a cancer clinic called the Linda McCartney Centre in Liverpool and donating £1.5million to hospitals that treated her. His latest work, Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart), is a choral piece composed after Linda's death.

"Looming divorce"

The court documents leaked last week alleged that Sir Paul, 64, had subjected Ms Mills to four violent attacks, including pushing her over a coffee table, shoving her into a bath and stabbing her in the arm with the broken glass.

The papers lodged by Ms Mills' lawyers also allege that he had broken his promises to stop smoking marijuana, that he called his wife an "ungrateful bitch" in front of their staff, that he tried to prevent her breastfeeding and that he stopped her from buying an antique bedpan which she wanted so that she did not have to crawl to the lavatory in the night.

The claims will be vigorously contested in the High Court by Sir Paul's lawyers, and the first battle comes on November 3, when Ms Mills' lawyers, Mishcon de Reya, will make the highly unusual application for the case to be heard in open court.

A legal source connected with Ms Mills said: "She wants to lay bare everything that happened in the marriage and make sure everyone hears her side of the story. She told me she's got medical records that back up the claims of violence against her.

"She's got witnesses who have given her statements and she says she has admissions from Paul but I don't know in what form. It's certainly not audio recordings."

Despite the increasing acrimony, Ms Mills and Sir Paul had been in touch with each other every day, by phone and text message, to discuss two-year-old Beatrice's care.

Many people would find it astonishing that Ms Mills would be on such cordial terms with a man she said lunged at her with the stem of a broken wine glass.

A friend said: "Heather calls Paul and tells him how much Bea is missing him and that she loves her daddy, and Paul does the same for her when he's got Bea. She's been getting texts from him all the time. Until last week they had remained on good terms despite the looming divorce battle."

Domestic violence

The last text she had from him was around 9am on Wednesday, the day the documents were published, when he sent her a message saying: "I just found some pictures of you when you were pregnant with Bea".

Since then, there has been no contact between them and friends of Ms Mills are saying he has withdrawn her security, in retaliation. Those close to Sir Paul deny this.

A friend said: "She pleaded with him to keep security, particularly for Bea's sake, but he told her, "I don't want Bea growing up spoilt. None of my kids had protection when they were growing up and I want Bea to grow up in the same way."

"Heather then told him she needed security because she is being pilloried in the street by people and has serious concerns over her safety."

Heather has now hired her personal trainer Ben Amigoni to be her security. "She can't afford any security of her own, other than Ben", the friend said. "She's really struggling financially because Paul froze her bank account."

Of her claims that police were called during alleged domestic violence incidents, Sussex Police - the force that covers two of the homes the couple shared - confirmed to The Mail on Sunday there was no record of 999 calls.

Meanwhile Sir Paul's legal team have been studying a book written by Ms Mills which seems to contradict many of the claims in her court documents. And in an interview with Michael Parkinson in 2003 she contradicted her claim that she is expected to prepare two dinners for her husband and Beatrice every night.

She said her husband brought her breakfast in bed every morning, and she had an agreement to do the dinner. An official spokesman for Sir Paul declined to comment. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/mailFr...n_page_id=1770

Paul should just keep quiet. Heather is digging herself deeper and deeper

OMG! R u SERIAL?!?!?

Well, if she says it, it must be true!

I love this line: 'Another added: "This is ridiculous. This is a man who gets distressed if he steps on an insect." Bout sums it up no?

[LizaMarie]

That's what I don't get about this situation...why does Paul keep trying to blacken HER name when she's doing it all by herself? he DOES seem to be desperately trying to cover SOMETHING even if she is becoming desperate

That is what I don't understand to be honest...his 'counter-attacks' just seem really strange to me, more strange than hers. As I said, i don't understand why he is so determined to counter-attack everything, as the public already seem to have sided with him almost whole-heartedly..it's very very strange.

Saying that however, his children have kept very quiet about it all. MAYBE i'm getting this wrong and really it's just his friends genuinely so angry that she is doing this....hmm....

As I've said before, this whole situation seems so strange to me and I really don't care about either of them as a result.

What is her motive? she is seriously pushing herself beyond all limits if thiis is JUST about money. it's almost at the stage where she wont be allowed out in public, and if she does make out with more than 100 million what use will the money be to her? She won't have any friends or family left AT ALL at this rate so money will mean nothing.

Maybe its all about getting custody of Bea (if he IS falling into baths drunk and high and vomiting all over himself then maybe he isn't really well enough or stable enough to take care of the child on his own...WHO KNOWS how Linda's death truly affected him, he could well be taking out his grief on Heather you know...grief does do strange things...)


Or maybe it's both. Maybe she just wants everything....

I think she's insane. This is simply too far out.

paul would be damned if he did and damned if he didn't. if he was quiet about it, then people would still say "gee, why is he so quiet about this? shouldn't he stick up for himself if he isn't guilty of anything?"

[aabbcc]

I want to take this bitch's fake leg and beat her fucking unconcious with it. STF up already!!

I love it!

This bitch needs to stfu. To say that he beat her is one thing, but to assume that his past relationship was as awful as hers is just downright cruel. She's only doing it because Linda's dead and she knows she can get away with it. Linda was with him till she died and I think that says a lot. They were together for, what, 30 years? I just think that's foul to say that about their relationship when she has no fucking clue.

Can you imagine how angry Stella and Mary are? It's rather terrible for them that she drags their dead mother into this.

It's bad enough that Heather Mills has to make this outrageous claims of abuse against herself, but bringing Linda McCartney into it is just beyond vile. The poor woman is dead and cannot speak for herself. Not only does Heather want Paul's dollars, she wants to completely blacken his name. She deserves child support for Bea, but that's it. The woman is a total psychotic bitch.

[bite me spidey]

Exactly. I'd be furious if this nut-case was making such claims about my father and dead mother's relationship. She's been with Paul for a few years, compared to Linda who was with him for a long ass time and would still be with him today if she had not have died. It's just disgusting she would use Linda as some sort of "proof" that Paul not only beat her, but Linda as well. Ugh, the entire thing is infuriating because it's just unfair. If I were Stella, I'd beat Heather Mills ass to the ground -- and as someone said in another post -- with her own damn leg.

[ediebrooks]

I can't wait til Stella gets into the mix. She's one tough lady.

[SlimandSexxy]

Said I wasn't going to get into all this, but I aint saying she's a gold-digger, she ain't nothing but a .......

What did Paul Mcartney see in her in the first place. If so many people are saying that she is vile, then believe me there is some truth to it. I've always believed in the saying that where there is smoke, there is a fire.

I hope she doesn't get a penny from him, I know that won't happen. Psychotic gold-digging bitch!!!

[Reptillycus]

She did the bait and switch, acted one way before marriage, then another way after, men do it too. Often people don't even know they are doing it, but I feel she knew what she was doing, only she didn't calculate that Paul was his Own Man, and wouldn't put up with her for long, after she relaxed and started "being herself".

[Chilly Willy]

Usually, I don't care about that lying bitch, because I assume everyone knows she's a liar. But dragging Linda into it is repulsive. Linda and Paul's marriage was so harmonic, it's legendary. They spend about two days apart during all those years. Besides, the woman is DEAD for fuck's sake!
