I couldn’t let this story go without commenting on it. Heather Mills McCartney (is she still known as Mills McCartney, or is it just Mills these days) used yesterday to go mental on telly. And who can blame her? In some ways, I feel sorry for her. I do not know her or claim to know what she’s been up to, but it does seem that the media has really gone for the Mucca jugular. This sort of pressure must be unbearable, and I can understand why she decided to go on these programmes to get her side of the story over. Of course, it was a pre-meditated PR exercise, but I don’t think anyone was expecting the emotional outburst that made the headlines.
So should we feel sorry for her? I do to some extent, but this clip here – when she pouts, “It’s the truth” – reduced me to laughter. Is that bad? I don’t envy her and I wouldn’t like to be in her position, but it’s obvious that she’s feeling the pressure (wow Paul, now there’s a left-of-field insight!). It just does my head in when these pouts and faux emotion goes over the top. I wonder which under-pressure sleb will be next to use the power of television to air their grievances?
