Default FLASH: PAUL McCARTNEY ACCUSED OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE

The Daily Mail has claimed Heather Mills is basing her divorce defence on the allegation Paul McCartney subjected her to physical violence on one or two occasions - although he strongly denies the claim.
Heather has apparently alleged that:
(1) Paul subjected her to four violent attacks, including one in which he stabbed her in the arm with a broken wine glass.
(2) Hurled abuse at his wife, calling her an 'ungrateful bitch'.
(3) Made her cancel a crucial operation because it interfered with his holiday plans.
(4) Shoved her, sending her flying over a coffee table.

McCartney's spokesman totally denies the allegation:
'The suggestion for instance he stabbed her with a wine bottle is an outrageous accusation which is designed to damage his reputation and hurt him.î Geoff Baker, McCartney's former publicist, said: 'Heather Mills is a complete fantasist and I would not believe her if she told me the sun set in the West.'

For once, I'm at a loss as to an opinion. I really don't know what to make of it all. There's been a lot of stuff written about Heather, namely that she's been impersonating Linda, has a legacy of prostitution and is supposed to be a gold digger.
On the other hand, you could argue she suffered a bad start with childhood abuse, temporary homelessness, the loss of a leg in an accident and then overcame all of that to campaign for charity - work she did before she married Macca.
So, I'm puzzled.
What I can tell you, Pro, is this isn't the first time a negative side to Paul has been portrayed. Do you remember what Denny Laine wrote after he left Wings as the lead guitarist, namely that Macca and Linda had smuggled dope through customs control in a baby pram.
Are we really to believe it was Heather who forced Paul to remove John Lennon's name from some of their early Beatles' songs and was the rift with Yoko Ono really so one sided?
I really don't know what to make of it all but it could be possible Heather isn't the bitch people assume she is. Maybe the truth will emerge at court.

Another thing that made me have a few doubts is why didn't Macca stay with her during surgery? I mean, if you fall out with your wife or girlfriend and then later she's taken to hospital for a serious surgical operation, wouldn't you be there as a friend, if nothing else? Hell, I know I would if it was an ex-girlfriend. I think there was time for the divorce to be sorted out after the surgery as the woman must have been sick with worry.
Just a possible take on the situation.

The guy has been in the limelight for many years. I have never heard or read stories of Paul being violent towards anyone. We would have heard similar allegations from his late wife Linda if he were truly this kind of person.

Heather Mills is an imposter, a scoundrel, a gold-digging bitch.

Perhaps Linda was far more passive and congenial, whereas Heather appears to be far more contolling and assertive. So, there was a possible conflict of egos?
I did hear one of Heather's gripes was against Macca hanging around with George Michael specifically because GM was heavily into dope and has been arrested twice now - once in the U.S. So, you can imagine it may have been a case of Paul heavily resenting being told how to live his life and what friends he should have e.t.c.
This is a tough question. If Heather has made this all up, then she's obviously a very dark horse indeed. I can only guess this is one of those situations where there may be right and wrong on both sides and that this was just a total mismatch.
P.S. It's true Macca has never been accused of violence before, although John Lennon had a bit of a temper.

I find it hard to imagine Mccartney as violent in the home. However, he does come across at times as a guy who has been surrounded by too many yes men who hang on his every word. Certainly I was disappointed over his having go at John Lennon and changing those song titles while Lennon wasn't around to defend himself.
Macca seems at times like he can't get over the idea many people consider John as having been the greatest Beatle talent. I mean, A Day In The Life and Strawberry Fields Forever were amazing compositions John wrote and Imagine was voted the greatest ever no 1.
To this day Macca and Yoko Ono don't get on.
Heather accused Macca of being tight - but so did Stella McCartney when he didn't send her to a private school. She (Heather) dragged him on the Chris Tarrant show and nagged him to go out more and be seen in public. Macca just isn't used to being told what he can and cannot do but that's women for you.

Paul has always been my least favorite Beatle non-musically speaking; over the years he has come off to me as controlling and egotist, (the Abbey Road issues, greedy about song rights and royalties, the Yoko thing). But then, having been in bands myself I know that someone has to be in charge and there are usually conflicts about it. There can be enormous problems otherwise too. Playing music professionally can be one of the worst jobs there is, and at times one of the best. A lot of musicians turn out to be real pricks.

This Heather it seems would have come out before about any abuse, had it really occured. OTOH, I've heard that Paul is worth somewhere around a billion dollars all told - would you let someone beat yerass for 20, 100, 300, 500 million? I'm sure most of us would.

News Flash!! The Beatles did droogs!! I think that issue was moot after about...when they returned from the India excursion? There must be one disgruntled ex-Beatle fan that refused to buy their records, now living in a yak-skin hut in Outer Mongolia that actually still gives a shit.

Well, Carrera needs his ass beat anyway...for free!

The media opinion has gone against Heather but I suspect some of her allegations may contain an element of truth. I can recall reading just a few weeks ago how Macca stormed out of an awards ceremony because his latest album didn't win the main award. Apparently he flew past Sting in a temper without even so much as saying "Kiss my ass!" He ignored everybody there.
I suspect this has been a major clash of egos with Heather trying to control Macca to the point he may have gotten close to violence, maybe shoved her or something. I think this is a case of there being two to tango and both parties are far from innocent.
For the first time, Paul may have been involved with someone who refused to bow to all of his whims and tell him how great he is and it may well be the case Macca couldn't deal with such a situation. Maybe Linda was far more passive and meek so the relationship worked in that case.
At any rate, if Heather can show this scar she says she has of the wine-glass attack and prove Macca also has a scar from falling over in a drunken stupor, there will be big damage to his reputation. She also claims to have a tape of Paul and Stella running her down and being very nasty during a phone conversation.

so what..the guys only human....if we are talking drinking related scars, i can boast a few.

also, turns out the psycho-bitch is actually the one doing the beating. I tell you, that leg of hers can be classed as a deadly weapon, plus its handy when your hanging a picture and you've mis-placed your hammer.
