Heather MillsHeather Mills reportedly has audio and video recordings of husband Paul McCartney being verbally and physically abusive towards her.

A source close to Heather told the Daily Mail: “Suggestions that Heather simply made up the accusations about Paul attacking her are, understandably, incredibly upsetting for her [but] whatever she says or does now, Heather feels she cannot win - people are siding with Paul.”

“But she is confident that she can actually prove some of these claims. Without going into specifics, she reckons to have tangible evidence showing that Paul not only verbally attacked her but was also physically aggressive.”

“As well as charting much of the marriage breakdown on her digital camcorder, and having witnesses who will testify to her claims, Heather has another killer piece of evidence in the form of an audio recording. She is being quite cagey about it, but it seems that she may also have some kind of video recording of the pair rowing.”

“It has never been Heather’s intention to use the tapes, which she feels prove that Paul raised his hands to her, but if she has to, she will. It is dynamite stuff and if used, really could destroy Paul.”

According to another source, Heather also has evidence that Paul had also abused his previous wife, Linda, during their 29 year marriage.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “Heather has told friends that she has heard some devastating details about Paul and Linda’s marriage. I don’t know where she is getting it from - if anywhere. If the divorce goes to court, which it is likely to do, Heather may well choose to air what she’s heard.”

Paul’s official spokesperson refused to comment on the new revelations but a source close to Paul slammed Heather’s claims about Paul’s previous marriage: “Heather is talking absolute rubbish. She knows absolutely nothing about Paul and Linda’s relationship - how on earth could she? His marriage to Linda was pretty damn near perfect.”

According to the newspaper, Heather also reportedly told friends: “If he’d just admit it’s his fault, I’d walk away from this.”

“I want to be able to stand up in court and tell my side of the story. Perhaps people will realise I tried so hard to make the marriage work.”
