Mills McCartney talks about split

Heather Mills McCartney broke her silence Wednesday about her divorce from Paul McCartney, saying in TV interviews that she fears for her life because of death threats, and blaming tabloids for her problems.

Mills McCartney appeared on an ITV television morning show to complain about media coverage and to announce that she would seek European legislation to compel newspapers to apologize for untruthful stories. She also urged the public to stop buying sensationalist newspapers.

“We’ve had death threats, I’ve been close to suicide. I’m so upset about this,” Mills McCartney said. “I’ve had worse press than a pedophile or a murderer and I’ve done nothing but charity for 20 years.”
