Paul McCartney Speaks Out About Allegations

Paul and HeatherSir Paul McCartney says he's going to fight his estranged wife tooth and nail, but not in the press.

The ex-Beatle issued a statement through his reps, and Paul has made it clear he will "vigorously" defend himself in divorce court. In court documents leaked to several London newspapers, Heather Mills alleges Paul brutalized her and was often drunk or high on drugs.

In the statement, McCartney's reps say "Our client would very much like to respond in public and in detail to the allegations made recently against him by his wife and published in the press but he recognizes, on advice, that the only correct forum for his response to the allegations made against him is in the current divorce proceedings."

The statement makes it clear, Paul will not take Heather's allegations lying down: "Our client will be defending these allegations vigorously and appropriately."

The reps say Paul has responded with "dignity," and is "saddened by the breakdown of his marriage..."

32. It is the fault of Paul. He was horney for this bitch. She is a lot younger than him and that satisfied his ego. I hope they kill onanother.

33. Paul McCartney has always been a rock star and has been into drugs and partying since the 60's. He's a poor street kid from Liverpool who made good, and over the years he has tried to clean up his image. Those from the 1960's know the true story, about all the acid, pot, alcohol etc. that Paul consumed and probably still does. Now he has been knighted and has the Sir Paul McCartney to further make him a Proper Brit, but sorry Paul, we know who you really are, you don't have to deny anything. You preached all those years ago about how great drugs were, and alot of people didn't survive those days, but here you are, worth several hundred million, and now you're crying the blues to have to share some of it. John wasn't crazy about you for good reasons.

35. I can't help it - I quite like Heather. She's just not going to lie down and take it.

36. If this poor excuse for a woman can mysteriously pull all these allegations out of her ass, come on Paul, you and your lawyers can mysteriously pull the "long lost prenup" out of thin air!

37. By the end of John's life John and Paul were becoming friends again. They had begun to mend the fences so to speak and had started talking on the phone and playing music together when Paul was in New York. So they may have had issues from when they worked together, but then who doesn't.

This makes me sad for the little girl, but Paul of course is handling this all with dignity.

38. Paul,Your doing the right thing.save it for court. It seams she got nothing better
to trash your name.What goes around,comes around. You and your family are very close,From the sounds of it,She all talk,more like garbage,Just hang in there.
And you will have your day in court.All she doing is burring her self.I never meet you,But from what i can see,My vote is on you.You and your family hang in there.
A great Fan,Scott Lowe

39. Ok. Does anyone else out there find it a tad bit odd that Heather can haul herself around on her hands and knees, schlep up and down the stairs whilst dragging McCartney with her, and it not able to defend herself against him. Here she is, supposedly dragging herself around on the ground with her wheelchair in tow and all her incidentals, and we are to believe that this woman is a cowering victim in the face of McCartney's abuse?
There are two sides to every story. This woman can take care of herself. And as for the whole bed pan issue? Ye Gods! My husband is completely disabled, yet the idea of peeing in a pan right next to me in bed disgusts him. He would never do such a thing. Who wants a pee pot in their bed? Anyone?

40. i hate women like Heather! she came into Sir Paul's life when he was vulnerable-played nice & married him & now she wants his money.SHE IS LOWER THAN WHALE SH*T & THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

41. Let the courts decide who is right and who is wrong in this messy divorce court. Sir Paul should keep quiet and not air the dirty laundry in the press. Life goes bra.

42. Heather has no class at all.To get this out in the press is
pathetic.This should only be heard in court where it belongs. I
personally feel Paul did not do those things she claims.She is a low
life money hungry bitch.

43. 1st, i doubt paul would've stayed married to linda for 30+ years, if he's have ever demonstrated this type of behavior. and so NOW, all of a sudden, he's become this evil, vile, violent man, according to heather, huh?? doubtful!!! but, if he did, (and this is the first time i've ever in my life felt this way....) she probably did something to deserve it. such as tell some horrible lies about him or something, bad mouth his kids or something. i'm not a big paul fan either, i love the beatles, and all the other members of the beatles, individually, but not paul... but i sure as hell do not believe for a second the B S this gold digger, trashy biotch is saying about him. just another way for her to try and get a few more millions on top of the millions, she already stands to gain... what a sad, sad, excuse of a human, she is. i hope she walks away with only the clothes on her back, but i know she won't, poor paul gave into her plan, on having the baby, so she'd make sure, when she did walk, she'd be a verrrrrrrrrryy rich woman. hope she meets and marries a man,(just like her) that'll take it allll away from her too, 1 day.

44. You are so wrong about Paul....I work with someone whose friend was caretaking Paul's home in Los Angeles...and I knew 6 months before the breakup that they were having problems....she was up to NO GOOD then....and set up my friends friend to get fired for what SHE was doing to cover her rear end!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paul doesn't change over night my dear....he has a track record..the press would have had it all over the newpapers otherwise......the man has earned our respect...give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!! What has Heather done, other than cause misery in the McCartney household??? THINKI!!!!!!!!!!! Paul....if you are reading this...contact your house caregiver........from LA...she will give a statement!!!!!!!!!

45. For the full statement made by Paul through his attorneys, go to Pauls website. I am a Paul fan, and while I may not be totally objective, Heathers' accusations are assinine. I'm quite sure they fought, and that Paul is not "Saint Paul", but it is so obvious that she took advantage of his grief and vulnerability.

If you have ever seen her on any talk show, she is not a pleasant person. She comes off very hostile and angry, and rarely lets anyone get a word in edgewise. She is very aggressive, and I think she downplayed that during their courtship. I have read that Paul was bewildered with her actions and attitudes after their marraige, especially with insisting on being called "Lady Mills McCartney."

I just feel bad that at his age he should have to deal with this, but when one is grieving, one doesn't always make rational decisions. God Bless you Paul
