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..."

79. Heather Mills is a lying tramp. If anyone was abused, it was probably her abusing Paul. Poor Paul. Should have listened to his children. I hope he gets custody of the child and not that gold digging liar. Paul should sue her for misrepresenting herself. Good luck Paul and God bless you.

80. I had really hoped that this marriage would work. I felt they were both good people. I think Paul is the greatest. I'm sorry to say that Heather is living up to all the things people predicted about her. She is appearing to be a gold digger, and a lot of other things too. Paul should have stayed single. He had the best for a long time. Usually when people have a good marriage, they want to experience it again. You will never make me believe anything bad about him.

82. Someone asked if the charges against Paul were true--and he abused drugs & women then why did she have a child with him? Very simple-- MONEY. I would not be surprised at all that this is what she had in mind. Paul is the kind of guy who would always care for his child and I'd say Heather Mill's knew it. This little girl was her assurance that she would be very well provided for all of her life.
She was a nobody who came out of no where and married a man loved world wide. And I feel so sorry for him because he probably loved her. Now he'll never be sure if someone loves him or his money and title. I'd hate to be her--she is probably the most hated woman in the U.K. and a large part of the world too.

83. It is such a shame that Paul has to be dragged through all of this nonsense. He has already proven that he is not this man she proclaims just by his demeaner throughout this whole group of allegations. Even in the beginning, he was trying to protect her from those gossipy types. I seriously think Heather was the one who was drunk and on drugs! She should lose custody of the little girl, that cannot be the way to raise a child - through hysterics and name calling, god knows what else she's capable of doing. She should get a very LOW lump sum of money unless she's willing to relinquish her rights to the child. Even then, she doesn't deserve anything....he's already given her enough! One good thing ..if the child grows up and decides Mommy is from hell, she will leave and go be with her Dad, and Heather will have nobody...that's justice.

84. Well.....her own father calls her a liar. What does that tell you? Paul is doing the right thing by not responding publicly. She obviously is a on a mission and has no concern for the media circus she is exposing the whole family to.

85. Just goes to show you how much class Sir Paul has. He refuses to get into a pissing match with the one-legged bitch in the press.

We never heard anything about Paul hitting Linda, drugs, or alcohol until Heather came along.

However, he should have never married her especially when she threw away her engagement ring. That should have told Sir Paul what he was in for. The next clue for him should have been when she refused to have Stella McCartney, his daughter and famous designer make Heather's wedding dress. It's obvious she did not like his kids, and that should have been the biggest sign to kick her to the curb.

The only reason she is making up these allegations is to get money from Paul in the divorce.

I say take her leg while she is sleeping and beat her with it.

86. Heather Mills is a proven liar, fantasist and pathologically addicted to attention. Apparently, she used to get very upset when Paul got more attention than her. Hello - he's a living legend! She married Paul McCartney because he was rich and famous and she could have all the money and attention her acquisitive and damaged personality craves. I don't believe her nasty allegations for a second. She can't seem to accept that he doesn't want her anymore so the next best thing is to try and destroy his reputation by attacking him in the media (no hope honey) extorting as much money as posssible from him and of course using their daughter as a pawn in the divorce. She deserves a house, a percentage of what Paul McCartney earned during the short period they were married & child support - no more. Perhaps she could could go back to being an "escort" for rich Arabs.

87. In the 1990's on PBS I watched Sidney Poitier's Lifetime Achievement Ceremony, Paul Newman during his testimonial looked up at the Poitier's Family Box and jibed, "Smile Sidney, so I can see your face...Gottcha!", then the camera panned to President Bill and Hillary Clinton who was chuckling at the comment.

88. I don't think she'll do well in court--she doesn't have a leg to stand on.
