Heather Mills and Paul McCartney were granted a preliminary divorce by a British court today, bringing her one step closer to the $50 million smackers she rightfully earned by spending a few years letting an aging pop star shoot her full of goo.
And how does she plan to spend that money? Probably not on Maria Rybkina. In 2004 Mills promised to buy prosthetics for Rybkina, a Russian single mother whose legs were cut off in a train accident when she was 5. According to News of the World, Mills contacted Robin and Inna Barratt, a British couple who’ve been trying to raise money to help Maria after meeting her when she was begging for change on the streets of Moscow. Back then Mills was all talk:
“Heather said she would personally get Maria some really good artificial legs, which would cost around £5,000, and cosmesis — the silicone cosmetic covering — which would be another £5,000.
“She promised she would also provide all the medical support needed to get her walking again. She told us that because her charity only helped victims of landmines, she would support Maria from her own personal finances.”
Mucca, 40, then met Maria in Moscow, during a visit to Russia with Sir Paul, who was playing a concert in St Petersburg.
Afterwards Mucca sent Robin an email saying: “I will pay for Maria’s costs agreed in advance and paid directly to the clinic. Please email me the price.” In another she said: “Email me costs individually and I’ll get money to you.”
Which never happened, because she’s Heather Mills. So, since the rich and (in)famous “philanthropist” can’t be bothered, the Barratts have been raising the money themselves. Visit Maria’s Story to learn more about her and to buy a book (UK only) about her life, or e-mail invazab@yahoo.com to make a PayPal donation. If anybody deserves it, Rybkina does. She’s had a tough enough life without being used for a photo op by some narcissistic sociopath.
Usually I try to cap off the post with something light — “Hey, Ol’ Beatle-Bilker should really hop to it and write a check already, LOL” — but this one is just too disgusting. It would be one thing if Mills had turned a blind eye, but this monster went out of her way to raise a struggling woman’s hopes with a lot of empty promises. Heather Mills is human scum.
Couldn’t agree more with the closing sentiments. Cruel. This is such a shameful action it beggars belief. The utter lack of respect and consideration for this woman is on a whole other level to mere media hypocrisy and gold digging bitchery. Shame. On. Heather. Shame Shame Shame. Hopefully this **h*le will be out of the camera sights soon.
Great to see these people Robin and Inna have tried to help another person like this though.
it’s easy to focus on how nasty this **sh*le Heather is (and she truly truly is!) but she’s in the minority I hope. There are lots more people out there who help each other for reasons *other* than self-promotion, like this couple and it is awesome.
My donation to Maria is on its way, good luck to her!
Sir Paul should step up and take care of the woman. “Since my-ex is a mean-spirited whore of a skank, it would be my pleasure doing this…yada, yada, yada….”
I agree, Hurricane. I don’t even have words for what Heather’s done. That’s beyond rotten. I bet she would seeth if Sir Paul stepped up and took care of this woman. It would make for great entertainment and help out a woman in need all at once.
You’re being too generous by calling her “human” scum. Subhuman scum is perfect though.
Is she missing a leg or something?
When I first read about this, I was disgusted and saddened that Mills would do that to someone. Now that I know I can send a donation, I feel as if I can try and do something to make up for this itch’s callousness. I hope somebody steals her leg while she’s walking down the street just to make her hobble for what she’s done to this woman. Why make promises you don’t intend to keep?
