McCartney / Mills divorce gets REALLY ugly - her interview

Sorta feel the same way. I was never overly fond of either of them.

It’s like she’s trying to do a low-rent version of the Princess Diana “Charles is a mean man and I have sad puppy dog eyes with too much eyeliner” interview, only she’s overestimated her appeal compared to Diana’s, and underestimated the public’s aversion to Paul compared to Charles.

She should have hired a good PR firm to advise her; this is all just kind of stinky.

Plus Paul is taking the high road, so it’s not even fun to watch.

I don’t buy it-doesn’t she have a history of lying? Someone on another board mentioned that she claimed that she was kidnapped and molested along with this other girl. Only the other girl, while she had been molested, was never kidnapped, and sued Mills-McCartney and such.

If someone had told these stories about say, John, I would have bought it. But Paul? It just seems way too convenient. And why isn’t she filing for sole custody then? Hmmmm…

I miss Linda. :frowning:

Youre not the only one.

It’s going to be decided by a judge, right? What difference does it make what other people think anyway? Especially in the U.S. I think she’s underestimating how much most people apparently like him. Sucks for her if it is true, not that I have an opinion either way but it seems a little convenient for it to come out now. Unless she thinks if she embarrasses him enough he’ll cave. I doubt if it’ll happen, there was always rumour about him being a little on the thrifty side.
If anything, I think it’ll do the opposite.

I don’t care about either of them. He has more money than God, and he was an idiot not to have a prenup. She seems to enjoy drama. Remember the gossip about her throwing her engagement ring away on vacation and everyone looking for it?

Telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty

Well, he is known to beat his women, and to keep them apart from the things that they love.

There is speculation that the judge may award her a lesser settlement if the accusations are clearly untrue.

There was a bit about this on the news last night and when asked for a comment on the situation, she said something to the effect “Boo hoo! I’ve only got one leg, you know. Do you know how hard it is to only have one leg? I have to crawl to the toilet to take a piss at night. It’s really hard”.

Well, yes. I imagine it’s pretty tough, but what has that to do with the price of eggs?

I don’t understand why she wouldn’t just grab a crutch to get to the can. She’s making it sound like she’s Tiny Fucking Tim or something.

I’m not buying it. He may not be perfect, but I don’t believe that he’s the monster she’s making him out to be. I’d like to see her hop away with nothing. Including the baby. He’s an old hippie who simply didn’t see it coming, looking at the world through kaliediscope eyes… Poor guy.

It’s amazing how many column inches the Australian press is robbed of by no fault divorce and the proscription regarding publication of any details. The divorce of even famous couples in Australia is just ho-hum. Sometimes you hear some salacious rumour down the track but by then no-one cares.

My husband only had one leg and he got anywhere he wanted by hopping on one leg. That one leg gets really strong after awhile. I can’t see him ever crawling anywhere, just wouldn’t happen.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? If she’s lying (and I think she probably is), it was a pretty dumb gamble. Sir Paul has been in the (very) public eye for nearly fifty years now. He had a very public marriage (hell, two, he might as well have been married to John), and while none of us know him, a person can’t keep such a violent, nasty part of himself hidden from view from everybody for nearly 50 years.

Plus, heavy drugs and alcohol? I have no doubt that he still smokes pot, but come on. He looks great for his age, not like somebody who regularly absuses hard-core substances, and it’s not like he’s retired to Scotland and does do anything all day except snort blow. A 22 year-old Beatle can do every drugs and function to fulfill all his responsibilities, but a 64 year old man, who is still active with his fingers in several pies? How does that even make sense?

He stabbed her? More likely, she got cut while he got the bottle away from her. :dubious:

I agree, no way that’s a drunk doper in his sixties; I’ve known a few. There’d’ve been more except they usually die before they get that old.

Can he grow his hair out its real color now?

Paul McCartney is known to be very controlling, particularly where his women are concerned. Longtime girlfriend Jane Asher didn’t marry him because he insisted she would have to give up her acting career. Linda was willing to quit her photography to become a member of Paul’s band. Heather had to know this going into the marriage, and if she doesn’t like, too bad.

And I bet you refused to get him an antique bed pan as well. Monster.

Ahhh…he’s just a slightly gullible old [del]fool[/del] Rocker, who remembers all those sexy teenyboppers, & wanted one last bite.

And she’s a [del]peg-legged pirate[/del] golddigger.

Interesting point of English law - prenups aren’t actually legally binding. The court may take one into consideration if it’s been a short marriage, but it’s by no means the only thing they look at.

Anyways, as she’s a lying manipulative money grabbing attention seeker, a judge would probably have taken a long hard look at that prenup and executed it to the letter.

No fence sitting round here.

Heck, you’ve probably directly quoted a number of their messages. :slight_smile:

I heard a guy on the radio say that he has one leg, and he just keeps a pair of crutches next to the bed in case he has to get up.

God help her if the house burns down…her antique bedpan won’t help her then.
