heather millsHeather Mills‘ fomer PR spokesperson has admitted that the former model lied during her divorce from Paul McCartney and vowed to “destroy” the former Beatle.

Michele Elyzabeth quit as Heather’s publicist in July and dubbed her an “impossible woman” after working with her for four years.

Now Michele has told the News of the World: “Heather used me as her mouthpiece for four years, and I’m ashamed to say throughout that time I simply told lies.

“As her friend I believed she was telling the truth, but now I realise she conned me. I was foolish and saw her simply as the devoted humanitarian, charity campaigner and protective mother she wanted the world to see.

“Heather would say on TV how she still loved her husband then take the mickey when she was with her girlfriends. She’d run down Paul as a man and be very nasty about him. She was exceptionally dismissive about him, going into graphic detail about their love lives. She was very indiscreet.

“I witnessed this many times. I couldn’t believe my ears the first time when she just rattled off all these insults in public, quite openly, to people she barely knew - really anyone who’d listen.

“I remember quite a few times when she’d sit down at my hairdressers, and just open up about Paul, without prompting. She often declared, ‘If I had to do it again I’d never have married him.’ And we all knew that days earlier she’d been on TV claiming she’d never attack the father of her child. She was such a hypocrite.

“I’ve asked myself many times what was Heather’s motivation, but it all points to one thing - money. She’s a gold digger. I’m certain her marriage to Paul was all about the money.

“I’ve spent hours with Heather, I’ve seen how tight she is with her cash, how she lied to me about Paul giving her money and experienced how she dodges bills - including my own fees [to the tune of a reported £168,000]. She’s the tightest human being I know.

“I believe Heather felt the further she pushed Paul emotionally, the bigger the payout would be. In the two-year run-up to the divorce she openly told the world that Paul gave her nothing, but then the court papers revealed he’d supported her to the tune of over £3 million.

“I stood up for her, insisting Paul wasn’t paying her. But it was a pack of lies. [On her behalf] I told millions of viewers Paul didn’t give her any money at all. The media lapped it up.

“After every appearance Heather was encouraging me to keep up the fight. But she always added, ‘Make sure you tell people it wasn’t my idea.’”
