Heather Mills Branded a "Calculating, Pathological Liar" by Former Aide

Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills has been branded a "calculating, pathological liar" by her former publicist and manager Michele Elyzabeth.

Elyzabeth -- who had worked with the former glamor model for four years before quitting earlier this year -- claims Heather launched a smear campaign against Sir Paul in her divorce battle for a slice of his multi-million dollar fortune.

She tells British newspaper the News of The World, "That witch [Heather] tricked me into spreading lies about Paul. She's a bitch!

"Heather is a calculating, pathological liar and the biggest bitch on the planet. She not only misled me, she misled the entire world.

"At one stage we were so close I viewed her as the daughter I never had. Today I think of her as the witch I wish I'd never met."

Michele, 58, quit working for Mills just six weeks ago when she finally realized she too had been betrayed.

Michele added, "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 realize 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. Now I want the public to know who the real Heather Mills is."

She explains, "Heather and Paul had been apart for six months but she still demanded to stay in the house.

"Paul's security guard tried to get her to leave. But she threatened to call the cops if he touched her, and then defiantly declared, 'Let Paul get me out!' I guess Paul just let her have her way.

"We had a brief business meeting, before we went into her lounge where a specialist pain doctor treated her leg. Then all of a sudden Heather was acting very unusually, over the top—trying to make us intrigued.

"She said, 'I want you to listen to how Paul and Stella are plotting against me. Who knows what they're trying to do?'

"She pulled a cassette player out of a bag by the couch and said, 'I've been taping Paul for weeks.'

"Then acting anxiously, Heather put on these latex gloves in front of us. It was all very mysterious, but it was part of her plan to get us hooked. Naturally I asked, 'What are you doing?' As she pulled out a tape from the bag she replied, 'This could be evidence.'

"She said she didn't want her fingerprints on it at all, so they couldn't trace it back to her.

"I was mesmerized. I felt as if I was about to learn a huge secret. Heather played it brilliantly, like a cloak and dagger operation. She loved the drama.

"So she played it to both of us (Michele and the doctor) and I could clearly hear it was Paul's voice. Then I recognized Stella as well—I knew her voice from TV. I heard Paul say, 'Heather is really crazy, she's driving me nuts. She should be happy to get what she's getting she always wants more. She’s never happy.'

"His tone made me feel that Paul thought she was being unreasonable. I didn't understand the exact nature of this conversation.

"They then talked about what she was putting them through. He spoke about her demands and how 'up the wall' he thought it was.

"Then Stella made a joke, something like, 'She doesn't have a leg to stand on!' I think they both laughed.

"As the 2 -minute tape played Heather sat looking at us with her eyes acting all astonished, even though she must have heard it before. I had mixed feelings about it. I knew Paul and Stella weren’t being vicious but they were making fun of Heather. And at that time I was on her side and felt that wasn't fair.

"But I couldn’t believe she was letting this 'top secret' play out in front of the doctor, a virtual stranger.

"Now I look back it feels like a set-up. And I don't know exactly how she got that tape.

"After it finished playing, she looked all wounded and shocked then added, 'I know what he's doing to me. Can you believe that bastard?' As we left the house Heather told me she felt this would 'be enough to bring Paul down.'"

"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.

"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."
