Mills McCartney sues over newspaper reports

London – Heather Mills McCartney’s lawyers said Tuesday she is suing two newspapers over “false, damaging and immensely upsetting” stories surrounding her divorce from Paul McCartney.

The law firm Mishcon de Reya named the Daily Mail and London’s Evening Standard as the subject of legal proceedings, adding that a suit also will be filed against The Sun.

Mills McCartney had been vilified in the media and was now being stalked by photographers, the firm said. It alleged that other newspapers had also printed false statements but the three listed would be the focus of the lawsuit.

“She cannot sue – for now, at least – every single newspaper that has published false, damaging, and immensely upsetting statements about her,” the statement read.

Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and the Evening Standard, said the stories about Mills McCartney in both papers “were obtained by proper methods and in accordance with good journalistic practice.”
