SPITEFUL Heather Mills accused Macca of physically ATTACKING her, claimed she had a damaging VIDEO of him and tried to FLOG it to American TV bosses for a MILLION DOLLARS, says her former publicist.

But when the high-powered moguls flew all the way to Britain to view the goods, lying Heather could only muster a collection of INNOCENT family footage and the deal collapsed.

Michele Elyzabeth, Heather’s mouthpiece for four years, last night insisted the money- grabbing deception exposed her former boss as a two-faced fraud.

For just months earlier Mucca insisted on US TV: “Paul is the father of my child and whatever he’s done, whatever has happened, I can never speak badly about the father of my child. We’ll have a relationship forever. I still love him.”

But early this year Macca contacted Michele in America and asked her to sell her secret stash of film ‘evidence’ titled ‘My Life With Paul’ to the highest bidder.

Michele told us: “Heather told me she’d made this documentary about her relationship with Paul, which showed he was an abusive husband.

“She said that it was going to be explosive and destroy Paul’s world. It would prove to the world he was an abuser.

“She said it showed him drunk, high on dope, being abusive towards her and depicted the Paul McCartney he didn’t want the world to see.

“Heather told me she’d produced the film in England, and asked me how much we could get for it. Using what she told me I pitched the show to a major US network, who was very interested.

Explosive

“They were ready to pay a large sum and I told Heather it could fetch a million. But naturally the company wanted to see it first. So in March they arranged a quick 24-hour trip to England with me for what they thought could be one of the biggest coups in modern television history. Heather insisted on them going to her Robertsbridge home in Sussex for a screening and negotiations in her front room.

“On the morning of the meeting she wanted to give me a brief preview and said, ‘I’m gonna show them this trailer.’ And then she put on this five-minute compilation of home videos, including a short clip showing Hillary Clinton saying how great she was.

“I was stunned, these were simply home movies of happy times with Paul—her wedding day, Bea’s birth, the honeymoon, time in their LA home and in his music studio.

“Unnerved, I pleaded with her, ‘These guys are here to see tapes depicting Paul as ABUSIVE.’ But Heather ignored me, just saying, ‘You told me they’d pay me a million dollars.’

“Again I pleaded with her to get the tapes she’d promised as these guys were expecting explosive material.

“But unbelievably, she led these people into her lounge and just played them the same tape. My heart sank. I thought to myself, ‘What the hell is she doing?’

“Then, after twigging that they weren’t impressed, Heather said, ‘I’ve just realised I don’t have the tapes here. I’ve sent my bodyguard to my Brighton home to get them.’

“As we all waited, Heather called me into the kitchen. Incredibly she laid it on thick, blaming ME for this fiasco. She still thought she’d get a million but I told her she had NOTHING. Again she didn’t listen.

“When the guard returned he just brought back an extended version of the home video. As it played I felt totally embarrassed and wished the earth would swallow me up.

“Heather had manipulated this whole thing just to find out how much money she could get for selling her personal family home videos. The TV guys were very professional but they, like me, were expecting her to prove to the world that Macca had been abusive.

“The bitch lied. It was now obvious there was no documentary of any sort. I sat in the room absolutely dumbfounded, I couldn’t believe what she was doing.

“The TV guys soon went and Heather just left me alone in the lounge for almost seven hours. It was so rude, and I was fuming.

“Later that night she again angled the disaster at me, moaning, ‘Why are we here? Everybody wants something from me. Why did you fly them over here anyway?’ That moment marked the beginning of the end for our relationship.”

But astonishingly the TV executives came back to Heather with a Plan B.

Michele revealed: “Incredibly these guys came up with an offer of £75,000 upfront for an interview after the divorce.

“It was an amazing deal for Heather and would have given her the chance to get her public image really high in the US.

“But Heather wasn’t having it. She said, ‘I consider it an insult. I’m NOT doing it. You told me I could get a million dollars.’ I explained that it was a great deal, and she didn’t have the material to warrant the fee she wanted.

“When I then asked again about the location of those infamous but never-seen tapes, she told me yet another story claiming she had given them to the judge and he hadn’t returned them. She said they’d only come back when the divorce was finalised. Needless to say they never materialised. By the end it was clear she had NOTHING on Paul. Heather was just making stuff up.”

Heather’s non-existent domestic abuse tape wasn’t the first time she tried to brand Paul a wife-beater, says Michele. Early on in their friendship an angry Mucca first revealed to her pal that she wanted to leave him after a big row.

Martyr

Michele told us: “Heather admitted she wanted to KILL Paul in that heated moment of fury. She didn’t shout, but gave me a steely stare and said coldly, ‘I could have killed him—he tried to choke me!’But I didn’t 100 per cent believe it.”

In December 2007 Heather made another sick attempt to tarnish Paul’s respected public image by leaking to the media that DRINK and SMOKING DOPE had caused him heart problems. On Heather’s orders, Michele told the New York Post’s gossip column about a secret operation—a coronary angioplasty—Paul had last September to increase blood flow through his arteries.

Michele confessed: “Heather instructed me to leak news about Paul’s op in a bid to win sympathy.

“She told me his procedure was the result of drinking too much red wine and smoking too much dope. I don’t know if that was true, but I greatly doubt it now.

“Heather’s gut feeling was that she could manipulate the judge and public into thinking she was a martyr for putting up with this outrageous behaviour.

“Heather had first told me about Paul’s heart problem in 2006 when they were still married. She said his doctor had told him to stop smoking pot and drinking because he was going to die. She claimed he didn’t care and refused to stop. But he still went ahead and had the op.

“Heather never produced any evidence to back it up, but she insisted it was true so she wanted it out there.

“I still remember Heather sitting there inside their LA home, by the pool, telling me about her husband’s health problems.

Porn

“But she didn’t talk about it in an emotional way, like a worried wife or even a friend would. She delivered the words in a very matter of fact way. Paul had kept it a secret from many of his close friends, but she was happy to blab about it. I know what Heather said, but I think Paul’s op was more likely to have been caused by all the touring demands on him at that time. He’d been under enormous pressure, playing three hours a night and travelling everywhere. Leaking it out like she did just showed what a cold-hearted woman she is.”

Meanwhile Heather kept quiet about scandalous skeletons in her own cupboard. At 19 she played a major role in a hardcore German sex manual in which she stripped naked to perform a sex act on a nude male porn star.

And in June 2006 the News of the World revealed that as a secret vice girl she was paid around £6,600 to engage in sex games with Middle East arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and to sleep with other men.

Soon after she earned a further £1,000 for a foursome with two other escort girls and an Arab prince at the Dorchester on London’s Park Lane.

Mills’ attempts to deceive the public and win sympathy didn’t let up even when the divorce case went to court. Michele revealed the story behind Heather’s appearance in a WHEELCHAIR for a London hearing on October 12 last year. “That was a deliberate move for sympathy,” said Michele. “The night before, Heather was furious about something Paul’s lawyers had done to her. She was bubbling over with rage at him and that stressed her out. Her back became really blocked up due to the stress so we went to see her osteopath.

“There she asked me, ‘Shall I take the chair or do you think people will think I’m trying to get sympathy?’

“She obviously HAD thought of that notion. And then I knew she would go in that chair no matter what. Why would you ask someone about a chair? If you NEED it, you’d simply use it without asking.

“And surprise, surprise...she turned up in a wheelchair next day.

“She could have taken pills for the pain or gone on crutches. It was blatant. She uses whatever comes her way to get sympathy and boost her image.

“This was Heather’s way of getting the judge to see how Paul had affected her to such an extent that she couldn’t walk. The night before she’d been on crutches, but during the next day she wasn’t.”

While Mills secretly masterminded her hate campaign against husband Paul, publicly she blamed his lawyers for the difficulties.

On the American Larry King show in March, 2007, she claimed that her divorce from Paul would already have been settled if it weren’t for them.

She claimed: “We still have a friendship. It’s only his lawyers that are a nightmare. We’re fine. The lawyers are the bad guys, not on my side, but on his side. There’s a nasty woman that represents him”—meaning his divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton.

She then added how she’d been forced to stay “completely quiet” about their marriage— all the time knowing she was sending Michele out to brief reporters with HER twisted version of events. In that same interview Mills also denied she was as a gold digger, claiming she had a better life BEFORE marrying Macca.

Heather told King: “I was madly in love. So, you know, you just marry for the right reasons. I certainly didn’t marry for any other reasons because I didn’t marry for money.

“I had a much better quality lifestyle before I married and I had a lot more money before I married. And that’s the whole joke about it all. I married because I was madly in love.”

Grumpy

But that was yet more lies, says Michele. In the divorce ruling Judge Justice Bennett dismissed Mills’ claims, writing: “I cannot accept the wife’s case that she was wealthy and independent by the time she met the husband.”

Michele saw Mucca’s moneygrabbing ways first-hand. She recalled: “In March this year Heather wanted to rent two properties from me for a stay in Los Angeles.

“I gave her almost a 50 per cent reduction saying she could have them both for £4,000. But she went off on one, claiming she’d only pay £500.

“I got this horrible email from her, filled with bitterness and sarcasm, claiming I KNEW she only wanted to spend £500.

“It was unbelievable, but shows you how cheap she’d become even though she was just weeks away from her divorce payout.

“Only a few months earlier she HAD paid £4,000 for them, but of course then Macca was footing the bill as part of her allowance.

“In the end she rented a rubbish small apartment for £500 through the internet in a working class neighbourhood, and got a pal to put up the rest of her friends for free at their apartment.”

Even when the £24million divorce settlement became official, Mucca couldn’t resist bill-dodging.

Michele told us: “When Heather went to Las Vegas to judge the Miss USA pageant for a TV show they put us both up in two suites.

“When Heather got there the first thing she tried to do was wangle another suite for a girlfriend who stuck to her 24/7 like a limpet.

“It wasn’t part of the package, which she knew very well, but she got grumpy when I refused to ask for it.

“Then that afternoon she got hold of the hotel’s massage people and booked beauty treatments plus other extras. She told me about it but I thought nothing of it, until I checked out.

“I found my hotel bill had all her £350 extras on it. The bitch had charged it to my room and just expected me to pay it. She hadn’t even asked.

“I got the hotel to change it back, but never heard anything more.”

£110,000 charity lie

ONE of Mucca’s most shameful acts of public deceit centres on her much-publicised charity work.

When Heather appeared on US reality show Dancing With The Stars she declared on TV that ALL her £110,000 fee would go to animal rights charity Viva!

But Judge Justice Bennett’s divorce ruling revealed that just £50,000 went to the cause. He also noted that Mills claimed to give “80 or 90 per cent of her earnings” to charity but pointed out that her tax returns “disclose no charitable giving at all”.

PR Michele admitted: “When I learnt that I wished the earth could swallow me up. I’d misled the public once again, insisting her generosity proved she was a great human being and charity campaigner.”

Michele discovered another major stumbling block in trying to give Mucca a good public image was her loathing for many of showbiz’s top names, especially pals of Paul. And mostly the feeling is mutual.

We detail Heather’s ‘rogues gallery’ above but it included huge celebrities like the Beckhams and George Michael plus major public figures like American TV chat show giant Barbara Walters and even President George Bush! Michele discovered Mills’ bitter views when she planned to organise a charity gig to raise money for Adopt A Minefield in 2006.

“I put together a wish list of artists who’d be great for the show,” said Michele.

“But when I started discussing names Heather had a problem with most of them.

“She was actually disliked after the split with Paul so many possible artists were out of the question.

“It became clear to me that Heather only met most of the world’s biggest stars when she was WITH Paul. In reality they were barely acquaintances.”
