More legal nonsense, and Heather Mills McCartney is planning on suing three newspapers over "false, damaging and immensely upsetting" claims that they have made during their coverage of the ongoing Macca divorce proceedings. The papers being targeted are Associated's the Evening Standard and Daily Mail, and News International's The Sun. It's not entirely clear which specific statements made by the three papers are considered "false, damaging and immensely upsetting", although Mills' lawyers say that it should not be assumed similarly false statements haven't appeared elsewhere, it's just that she can only afford to take action against a small number of major titles (ie "just because were not suing other papers, doesn't mean we accept what they said was true").
In a statement, Mills' laywers Mishcon de Reya told reporters: "It would appear that the media has concluded that there are no limits to what may be said about, or done to, our client. She is stalked by press photographers, who congregate outside her home and chase after her in cars - regardless of her safety or the safety of her daughter. Her time and resources are not infinite. She cannot sue - for now, at least - every single newspaper that has published false, damaging, and immensely upsetting statements about her. She should not thereby be taken to have accepted that these statements are true."
The legal rep concluded by asking the press to "show some restraint" in their future coverage of the Macca divorce. Yeah, good luck with that.
