Explosive McCartney Divorce Papers Leaked

When last we left the melancholy McCartneys -- Paul, 64, Heather, 38 -- they were wistfully, reluctantly parting ways after four years of marriage in May with a message to the world left on Sir Paul's website.

McCartney said the couple had "found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives," but that their parting was "amicable and both of us still care about each other very much ... We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter [Beatrice, 3], that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period," he pleaded.

It's been a downward spiral for the no longer wistful couple ever since, with the manure striking the automatic air dispersal unit with great force today as Britain's Daily Mail published leaked court documents submitted by Lady Heather in response to McCartney's July divorce petition citing "unreasonable behaviour" by Mills.

A few of the Mills retaliatory bombshells include:

"In breach of his promises to the respondent made when she agreed to marry him, the petitioner continued to use illegal drugs, and to consume alcohol to excess, throughout the marriage..."

PaulHeatherBeatrice In 2002, following an argument, a drunken McCartney allegedly "grabbed the respondent by the neck and pushed her over a coffee table. He then went outside, and in his drunken state he fell down a hill, cutting his arm..."

In '03, more choking allegedly ensued when she asked him if he had been smoking marijuana.

In April of '06 Mils was "forced to crawl on her hands and knees up aeroplane steps because they were not wide enough to take her wheelchair" even though McCartney "had assured the respondent that he had taken care of her disability needs in connection with the trip."

"The petitioner often told the respondent when she was pregnant that he did not want her to breast-feed their child, making on occasion the comment 'they are my breasts.'"

And the coup de grace. "On Tuesday 25 April 2006, following an operation on the respondent's amputated leg, an argument occurred during which the petitioner poured the balance of a bottle of red wine over the respondent's head and then threw what remained in his wine glass at the respondent. The petitioner then reached to grab the respondent's wine glass, and broke the bowl of the glass from the stem. He then lunged at the respondent with the broken, sharp stem of the wine glass, which cut and pierced the respondent's arm just below the elbow, and it began to bleed profusely."

    Paul should just get back to where he once belonged and be rid himself of this fish and finger pie.

    Maybe now would be a good time for Macca to get those "Paul Is Dead" rumors rolling again...

    Great comments!

    What I didn't have the heart to go into this time is how drasticaly different this relationship must have been than his with Linda. I don't think there was any good reason for him to get remarried without taking a REALLY long time to make sure it was the right thing to do.

    I think Paul should carry that weight, take Maxwell's silver hammer, and make certain she's leaving home for good.

    "She loves you! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
    Well, you THOUGHT she did.
    I believe Eric made an excellent point with regard to Sir Paul getting hitched so soon after Linda's death. The man was lonely, and now he's paying for not wanting to be alone.

    it's really too bad if any portion of these allegations against him are true, because it means he really changed

    Eric, living is easy with eyes closed, especially when you want to believe it's getting better all the time.

    Isn't it strange that some ppl can sit back and make fun of someone going through something so awful!?!

    Actually, it is very normal for someone who has had a happy successful marriage to remarry within 1-2 years after losing their spouse. He was lonely and apparently in love (hence the lack of a pre-nup).

    Personally, I'm wishing Paul and his family the best and hoping that Mills-McCartney doesn't get by with what she's trying to pull.

    We can have fun with song titles and still be sympathetic and supportive until all the facts are out. Maybe I'm amazed not everyone sees it that way.

    Wonder how she'll manage to make ends meet...(sorry, couldn't resist)
