Publicity seeking Heather Mills complains about publicity

[dancingme]

“They’ve called me a whore, a gold digger — the most unbelievably hateful things,” she said of the tabloids. “I’ve had worse press than a pedophile or a murderer, and I’ve done nothing but charity for 20 years. They’ve put my life and my daughter’s life at risk.”

She pointed to the media’s pursuit of other celebrities, and asked, “What are we doing as a nation? What did they do to Diana? They chased her and killed her.”

Mills said she tried to keep a low profile for 18 months, but the paparazzi never went away. “They followed me to the supermarkets, they pursued me. I never spoke and I never said a word for months and months and months and months. And they never went away,” she said.

She said that she and McCartney could have had a quick and painless divorce and said she didn’t want any of his money, if only he had agreed to take the blame for the marriage’s failure.

“When we first split, I said to Paul, ‘I’m going to be crucified. I’m going to have a modern-day stoning. You know why we split, you know the truth,” she told Lauer. She said she told him to stand up and say, “‘I’m responsible for the breakup of this marriage.’”

If he had done that, she said, she’d have walked away with nothing, but he didn’t.

“I insist on being cleared,” she said. “Money — that’s the least of my interests. I have to clear my name.”

Mills said that she’s counted more than 4,000 articles in the media critical of her, most of them containing what she called “rubbish.” To document her claims about the paparazzi, she’s taken to filming them as they photograph her and is pursuing several libel suits against various newspapers in Great Britain.

1. Uh, lady? YOU MARRIED PAUL MCCARTNEY.

They followed you to the supermarkets?? You're lucky they weren't microscopically examining your bowel movements!

2. Libel laws in the UK are different.

In the US to prove libel in a suit you have to prove the accusation false. In the UK it's up to the defendant to prove the accusation true. That's a huge distinction and leaves her with very good odds of success in suing the tabloids.
