Heather: 'I've had death threats'
Heather Mills is living in fear for her safety after receiving death threats in the wake of her split from Paul McCartney.
The former model said she feared for her own personal safety and had little money to pay for security.
“We have had a few death threats, which was scary,” she told BBC News yesterday during a visit to Brussels to campaign against the fur trade.
Mills said her personal trainer Ben Amigoni, who she emphasised was “not my lover”, was also helping to protect her.
She also denied that by campaigning for animal rights she was copying her estranged husband’s first wife Linda.
She said: “It was definitely because I married my husband – nothing to do with Linda – I was sent this video of dogs and cats being skinned alive.”
She that she previously “wasn’t allowed” to get involved with fashion, photography and music, but was now “free”. “I can do whatever I wish,” she said.
Mills visited Brussels to deliver a 250,000-signature petition - gathered via her own website – backing calls for the trade to be banned.
The trade blockade is needed to discourage the killing of animals to provide fur for everything from rugs and coats to figurines, she said.
