Why does everyone hate Heather Mills?

Question

Every response is a leg joke, or she is a scheming money grabber, etc. But HE married having been advised to get a pre-nup and HE DIDNT - the fact is it has turned nasty as most divorces do - as a result she now seems to want the legal cut she is entitled to. She offered to sign a pre nup and he said NO - he knew how much money he could lose by doing that. Its reported she was slated by his family both before and during the marriage which could not have helped, and has been constantly sniped at by press. She will be cast as wicked witch forever no matter what she does so she may as well go for it.

Answer 1

I feel sorry for her I mean she took a lot of flak for marrying paul after everyone had turned Linda Mcartney into some sort of saint then she gave up her career to have Pauls baby then after a traumatic pregnancy and delivery she is now undergoing numerous op's due to messing her pelvis up during the prtegnancy.
I mean so what if she did some dodgy photo's or god forbid had a PAST, while her and Paul were together she always came across as a good and loyal wife who gave him a beautiful daughter which she has suffred a lot for.
I do not understand why she get's such a bad time but I do feel sorry for her :)

Answer 2

I don't hate Heather Mills. Truthfully I could care less. But really, do you think she deserves half of his fortune for being married such a short time? His daughter will be taken care of no matter what. I think she should get whatever she was paid before she met Paul, maybe alittle more. Yes, he was the one who chose not to get a pre nup. However, how do you know that she didn't influence that decision? Paul was also married for a long time to a woman which he would still be with if she didn't pass away and probably thought this would be forever. I disagree, if she would of said, forget about the money, just set up a trust for our daughter than the family and others wouldn't think she was a goldigger but might actually believe that she was interested in him for something other than the money. She makes herself look bad.

Answer 3

I don't hate Heather Mills. No idea what she's like, actually.
However - Paul McCartney certainly was no angel before he married. What's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. After reading the stories about the Beatles in the Cavern days, it was quite horrifying. I've never felt the same about them since.
Paul McCartney married a woman very much younger than he is. What did he expect? A meek little doormat? The 60's have come and gone. He's an old man, should have chosen someone his own age with whom he had more in common. There's no fool like an old fool.
Now he's playing nasty games with his wife. Well, she's the mother of his child and if he is responsbile for the child, he should be responsible for the smooth running of the household, as it was before they split. It's not as though he can't afford it.
I'd like to see some generosity on both their parts.
But actually - he's just a pop star and she's just a model who lost a leg. I hope they sort it out.

Answer 4

The Beatles could do no wrong! They have become a British institution! They are as holy to the British public as the Pope is to Catholicism! When Lynda McCartney died both Lynda and Paul were seen as holy martyrs! I think the press and people of Britain felt he should remain that way!

So how dare this little tramp (not my opinion!) come along and take him away from being that martyr!?

The public saw her as a little money-grabbing trollope of a girl who was only after Saint Paul's money and estate; latching on to his fame for her needs!

Have you ever noticed that when her prosthetic leg is mentioned in the press they always point out that it is very expensive and specially made so that she can wear short skirts and high heels? By saying this don't you think they try to make out that she should be a humble one-legged martyr (with an NHS standard issue leg) like Saint Paul is a grieving martyr?

I don't know about you, but I don't for one minute believe that Heather Mills-McCartney started the relationship other than for reasons of love. I admire the woman greatly.

For all the sh** she has had thrown at her by the press and the McCartney Clan she deserves her half in the divorce settlement as does any woman!

Go Heather!! Get your cut!!

Answer 5

Human nature is such that people find it easy to totally hate a person they have never met.
The very word celebrity is enough to do it for some people. Paul McCartney knew what he was getting into. He CHOSE not to have a prenup agreement in place so now he will have to part with the cash. She is entitled to her share legally just the same if he was a labourer & she a waitress. When they first got together everyone said she was great because of the landmine charity thing but people have extremely short memories.
She will always go down in history as a wicked ex-wife but she will have her cash to console her.

Answer 6

Sorry to say this but she appears to be almost American in her attempts to get what "she's entitled to".
He was naive not signing a prenup, but he may have been blinded by love, it does happen.
In what way is she entitled to HIS money.
She made a hell of a lot more money herself because of the marriage.
Surely he is entitled to HER money, after all she only earned so much because of the marriage.
If the press has its facts right then she really is a grabber. Offered £30m, said no I want £200m. That isn't justifiable.
His earnings haven't dramatically increased since their marriage, they have grown at same rate for many years.
I would also bar her from my house if she turned on me the way she has
She hasn't endeared herself to many people in UK, least of all his family.

Answer 7

Could it be because she turned down a settlement that is worth more in a year than most people will see in their lifetime?
more than £10 million for each year they were married. How does that compare with the average settlement for a divorcee?
What did she do to get that money?
how many of the beatles tunes did she actually write?
He married her and didnt get a pre-nup....that was a mistake that he is paying dearly for.... but dont make her out to be anything more than a money-grubbing T*rt

Answer 8

He married her on the re-bound. He probably should have mourned Linda longer, before jumping head long into another marriage. She wasn't what she first appeared to be and he was blinded by her outer facade initially. People tried to tell him she had a history and wasn;t what she claimed to be but he chose to ignore them. Now he's just found out the long/expensive way. Poor Paul, he's a nice guy too, everyone's always said it about him. I'm inclined to believe she is the problem.

Answer 9

Because she was offered 30 million as a divorce settlement and turned it down, asking for 200 million. Most right minded people would settle for 30 million quite happily for a couple of years of marriage. She has done nothing to even deserve that figure. The law is not always as straightforward as it should be...

Answer 10

i feel sorry for her in some ways, but come on she only married him for money and publicity, couldnt be for his looks cos he,s looking like an old man now, his hair is dyed and its so obvious, but i do think he,s a nice guy, i think his late wife linda would be morttified if she could see whats been going on lately, i do think the press give heather a really bad time, its sad she lost a leg, and why now bring her past up, why didnt they bring it up when she was with paul!
