How She Has Suffered

[seal_clubber]

Some awesome quotes from Heather Mills after being awarded $33.6 million in her divorce from Paul McCartney:

"It was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter's future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with — because you know it has been my life for 20 years

I have been finding myself adopting the philosophy that celebrities cannot be known. They are entirely a fabrication of what the media feels makes good copy. I conclude that the reliability of the information with which I have to judge is nil.

Of course, the judge's public comments are pretty clear on how he feels about her.

It's good that you know that. Too many people seem to be willing to make judgements on various cases without really knowing anything about the case (I know lots of people who flatly state that "O.J. got away with murder", despite the fact that they did not attend the trial, nor were sequestered with the jury as they deliberated over the evidence presented and acquitted him).

In this instance, though, I'm going on the basis of all the various quotes of her in the media. While I'll allow that quotes can be taken out of context, the ones I've cited here don't seem contextually-based. She just comes off as rather whingey, and eager to remind everyone that she is a paragon of virtue who deserves a whackload of money for having been married to a Beatle for four years.

who deserves a whackload of money for having been married to a Beatle

did you hear the clip where she said that poor bubby Beatrice will only get $35000 (I can't do a pound symbol!) per year, which means she will have to fly B class while her father flies A class...?

I can't be sympathetic to a 4yo who 'only' earns $35000 p.a.

Paul is my least-favourite Beatle, but I really don't like Heather.

You're not being overly judgemental. BUT, in her defence, I'll say that I think the British media have really slammed Heather ever since she and Paul got together. She's probably just trying to make it a little more difficult for them to bag her out.

I agree — I think she does get somewhat unfairly slammed in the media. What was really annoying me about her, though, was her constant reminders that she works with charities, has lost a leg, and oh P.S. Paul's a prick.
