BRITAIN:Heather Mills McCartney, the estranged wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney, broke her silence yesterday in a series of TV interviews and photo stunts.
But her PR efforts backfired somewhat when, separately, police warned her about her over-zealous use of 999 emergency calls and said they would not respond to her in future.
"I'll always love him. I will never get over it. I will always love Paul. He is the father of my child, but I just have to move on and deal with it, and there is nothing I can do," Mills McCartney told BBC News 24.
"I have never spoken badly about my husband. I never will - he is the father of my child."
But Mills McCartney said she was the victim of "huge powers" trying to destroy her. "I don't have that powerful system that he has. There are huge powers that create these things for reasons of their own," she said.
"There is a huge agenda about trying to destroy me and put me down. I have a daughter to protect and I don't want to speak badly about any of the parties involved."
The 38-year-old embarked on a publicity blitz yesterday for her latest campaign - protesting about pig farming practices.
In a separate interview with GMTV, Mills McCartney said she had no interest in self-publicity. "Think about it: when do I ever go on TV? How many times in the last year? Once. I'm chased down the street day in, day out. I'm not a publicity-seeker."
In another media interview - this time for Sky News - she was asked when the divorce would be finalised. "Do you know what? I've got no idea. It's like taking blood from a stone," she said. "It could take a year, I've got no idea. It's not down to me, it's all down to the hubby."
Meanwhile, the police have warned Mills McCartney, who has complained about the attention of paparazzi and tabloid reporters, about calling 999 too often.Chief Supt Kevin Moore said there was a risk that officers may take her calls less seriously if she contacted them too often.
"We are having to spend a disproportionate amount of time on one particular person," he said in reported remarks that were confirmed by a spokeswoman for the force. "We are duty-bound to respond, but clearly people who make lots of calls to the police run the risk of being treated as the little boy who cried wolf," he added.
