The Battle Continues for Heather Mills

After pleading for help from U.S. media, now Heather Mills continues to attack her former husband on interviews.

Heather Mills continued her vicious attack on estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney in three US TV interviews yesterday (01.11.07). The 39-year-old former model - who claimed she was suicidal and likened herself to the late Princess Diana on UK TV on Wednesday (31.10.07) - appeared on 'The Today Show', 'Good Morning America' and 'Extra' yesterday.

She claimed The Beatles legend refused to give her a "quick and gentle" divorce. She told 'The Today Show': "All I can say is when we first split, I said to Paul, 'I'm going to be crucified. You know why we split. You know the truth. They don't need to know the details, but you need to stand up and say, I'm responsible for the breakdown of this marriage. If you say that, I'll walk away with nothing, and we'll do a very gentle and quick divorce.' And he promised he'd do that. I have evidence of that. He knows I was suicidal and he did nothing."

Heather, who split from Paul in May 2006 following a four-year marriage, insisted the legendary musician was a "broken man" when they met and she put her life on hold for him. She said: "I fell in love with a man, not a Beatle. I fell in love with someone that chased me for three months and people forget he wooed me. He was a broken man when I met him. And everybody around him knows he wouldn't perform, he hadn't performed for a long time. If actually someone sat down and did their proper research and looked at the facts, I was a huge support for Paul. "I put all my own work, except my charity, on hold for the seven-and-a-half years we were together."

Heather also says the couple regularly rowed over Paul's refusal to give more money to charity. She fumed to 'Good Morning America': "I was very passionate about the power Paul had. How could anybody have that kind of money and not do more for charity? That is what we argued about all the time."

Heather claimed she is "stuck in an English village" because Paul won't let her move to the US as he doesn't want their four-year-old daughter Beatrice to have an "American accent". Heather also accused Paul's "jealous" daughter, fashion designer Stella, of ruining their marriage. She told 'Extra': "Stella has done some evil, evil things. Every single week Stella tried to break up our marriage. She was so jealous. Her friend told me Stella was jealous because I would get all the planes and the diamonds. Stella wasn't interested in her dad's happiness. I can't protect her any longer."
