McCartney to contest abuse claim
Sir Paul McCartney has said he will “vigorously” contest allegations that he violently abused Heather Mills during their four-year marriage. A statement issued through his lawyers said he would “very much like to respond in public and in detail”. “But he recognises, on advice, that the only correct forum for his response... is in the current divorce proceedings.” The Daily Mail says court papers filed on Lady McCartney’s behalf allege Sir Paul abused her and used illegal drugs. According to the newspaper, court papers relating to the divorce say that the former Beatle subjected his wife to violent attacks, including one incident in which her arm was cut with a broken wine glass. Sir Paul’s statement, issued through his solicitors, Payne Hicks Beach, said he had “maintained his silence in not commenting on the media stories believing that it was best for all concerned, particularly his children, for there to be some dignity in what is a private matter”. “Our client is saddened by the breakdown of his marriage and requests that his family is allowed to conduct their personal affairs out of the media spotlight for the sake of everybody involved,” it added.
