This is going to sound rather heartless, but it is not. Heather Mills lost her leg, and. I feel sorry for her about that.
However, she isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last person to be injured like that. Most people don't make nearly the fuss about that she did. Most people's disabilities haven't made them front page news, or made them multi millionaires (or enabled them to meet and marry multi millionaires).
She has gone out of her way to seek publicity, without really being famous for being anything other than a model who lost her leg, and Paul McCartney's wife . now the papers are biting back.
In the past, I have criticised the papers for exposing people's private lives. Where the person hasn't really sought publicity, I still agree with this (George Micheal being one example - He writes and sings music, people want to buy it, anything else should be up to him). But, where they appear to have gone out of their way to be in as many papers as possible, they should expect some ugly things to come out.
