HOLLYWOOD - Paul McCartney’s estranged wife Heather Mills has hit out at the former Beatle for doing nothing to stop the British press from engaging in a "hate campaign" against her.
The former glamour model claims McCartney promised to do all he could to minimize the negative coverage when the couple's four-year marriage broke down in May 2006--in exchange for a quick divorce.
However, Mills is furious the "Yesterday" singer has done nothing to protect her and their 4-year-old daughter Beatrice from the media.
The 39-year-old first made her feelings known on U.K. TV show GMTV on Wednesday, and on Thursday she personally attacked McCartney during a live satellite interview from London on the Today show.
She said, "When we first split, I said to Paul, 'I'm going to be crucified, I'm going to have a modern-day stoning.'
"I said to Paul, 'You know why we split, you know the truth. They don't need to know the details, but you need to stand up and say, "I am responsible for the breakdown of this marriage." You'll be a hero because it's always two parties, but in this case it's very heavily one-sided.'
"I said, 'If you say that, I'll walk away with nothing and we'll do a very gentle and quick divorce.' And he promised he'd do that--I have evidence of that--and he did nothing."
