Imo everything she does has an agenda, so there was probably a reason behind her nice persona on that occasion. She's one of those people who can show a pleasant side but in her case it doesn't mean it's genuine.
Well she may be a lot of the things people call her, but I don't think she's totally devoid of compassion for other people.

She'd probably like people to think that, evidenced by her work for landmines and amputees, but I think everything she does comes with some kind of agenda attached, and her talent for self promotion far outweighs any compassion she might show for anyone or any cause.
Where has it been said on here that people 'hate' her? She may well not have 'killed anyone', but she has ruined the lives of many people on her way to fame (or should that be infamy) - her ex husband Alfie, her school friend (who has actually posted on here in the past) whose kidnap story she stole, and to whom she had to pay an out of court settlement, the fiancé she dumped for Paul McCartney, and who she accused of being in MI5 and because of that trying to wreck her landmine work.......I could go on. If she believes these stories to be untrue, why hasn't she sued?
She says she has given to charity. Just like she said she gave 80% of her earnings to charity at her divorce hearing. That was found to be a fabrication as there were no records to prove it. She said she's invested in property 'for my child's future', her child is well looked after - McCartney is providing for the child at a rate of 35 grand a year and possibly more. What more does she want?
Because she's a 'celebrity', is relevant to the Showbiz forum, and because there's nothing to say anyone can't perhaps? If she wants to stop people and the press being horrid to her, perhaps a retirement from public life would be best?
Firstly did I say on this forum? :rolleyes: I am talking generally. I have heard people in work stating they hate her after reading rubbish spewed from the tabloids. Plus judging by the venom some posters spout on this forum i would say it borders on hate or detest.
As for the rest of your post you are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. I tend to give people a chance, even ones who have ****ed up in the past. I still think that if she had married anyone else then she wouldn't have had so much bad press.
I just don't get why strangers are so bitter and horrible to her when it's blatently obvious that she is either suffering from a form of mental illness or is damaged from something from her past.

Keep your hair on and what's with the :rolleyes:?
Personally I don't happen to 'hate' the woman, I'd reserve hatred for someone who'd harmed me or my family.
Heather married a national figure, a man whose first wife caused equal venom in some quarters when they were first married. The difference between Linda and Heather is that over the years the public grew to like and respect Linda, whereas Heather is a proven liar and fantasist, only worthy of the public's scorn. Linda wasn't a gold digger, having a fortune of her own, Heather knew full well that if a divorce happened, she would be well provided for. She lied that she gave 80% of her earnings to charity before she married McCartney, which was proved in court.
McCartney's not perfect, but he's a darn sight more perfect than his ex.

I'd say they were both very similar. Afterall he chose to marry her and have a child together. They probably deserved each other.
Apologies for the 'raised eyebrows', I never get to use it that much :rolleyes::D

McCartney's not similar to her at all.
He's worked all his life - earned his millions - not taken some old fool for a ride and then creamed several bob off of him through divorce.
Heather Mills, although very deserving of praise for all her work with amputees, is a sponger and a leech. Before Macca, it was rich playboys or rich Arabs - the latter paying her for sexual favours. Thanks to rich men, she's been afforded a very luxurious life-style.
If I were her, I'd hang on to the millions - and she probably has.

Just as she chose to marry him. Works both ways.
Imo her motives in marrying him weren't exactly of the purest, but he was a man led by his p*ick and not by his head. At least McCartney hasn't been outed by the press as a liar and fantasist of the highest order. I do believe she has a mental problem, but as she probably doesn't recognise this in herself, she'll probably never get help for it.

Anyone going to watch her on Shrink Rap on More 4 tomorrow?
Even if Pamela Stephenson gets to the bottom of her problems, she'll probably, nod, smile and agree on the outside, but what's going on in her head will be very different.

I would and I've read that it's actually really interesting because she won't have a bar of any of it but she does in the end break and it then becomes quite fascinating (that was The Guardian saying this)....But not sure I can stomach it though.

Accepted.
Really? I think it was more to do with bereavement over Linda still and he was lonely. He got with Heather only a year after he lost Linda.

But that's kind of being led by your p***k isn't it?
You meet this wonderfully self-aware, never to be cowed woman who happens to rock your world - she's all for the good causes. Perfect.
I don't mean this badly but if she hadn't lost her leg that relationship may never have happened. If she was totally able bodied and he met her at a party the initial attraction may never of happened.
In fairness to her she was doing great work for the disabled (it was at an awards show they met wasn't it) and she's very dynamic. But he was being led by his d**k.

What rubbish?
By and large all they've done is set the record straight on Heather's lies. Oh - and quoted the judge in the divorce case.

Since he's a man, it's possible but I'd say he was being led by a broken heart. It can't be easy losing your soulmate, they were together for how many years? At least 20.

I met Heather Mills some years ago when she was working as a presenter at the hospital where I work.
She was very compassionate and caring, especially with children, and always had a smile and spoke to people, unlike some of the other presenters who were up themselves.
She's obviously not perfect, but not as black as painted either.
She should never have married a saint, that's the problem.
Like you, I have met Heather. I met her back in 1988 when she was in 'demand' by the Saudis', a big mac eater and fur wearer. There was not one ounce of 'compassion' in her unless money was involved.

I knew her and she was a drama queen back then, a self pitying wh0re (long before she lost her leg). And if it's something about her 'past', it's about time she snapped out of it. Many of us come from abused homes and have to carry on without dwelling about it. And I had no counselling, help, tablets, millions in the bank to help me. And I'm not bitter about her; I would hate the world to think of me as the worlds biggest fabricator of the truth.

Fair enough. I never got to socialise with her or anything so I guess I'm not qualified to judge.
It was around 1997 that she was presenting for the BBC where I work. She was especially kind to my friend who had a family crisis, and Heather happened to be there when she got the news, and she was brilliant.
But I have to admit, she doesn't have a great deal of support from past acquaintances.
Despite all that, I do think she's inspirational to anyone who has lost a limb.

How obssessed is that?

No need to get personal, back to Heather's millions, or lack of...;)

I loved the "I don't self-promote" gubbins she said the other day! Self-promote woman? that's all you do!
