Heather Mills may not always get the best press, but from seeing her live I know that she sincerely cares about the well being of animals and is never afraid to speak her mind…even if it pisses people off.

And speaking of getting pissed off, rumor has it that Heather recently lost her cool at a New York party when the crowd refused to listen to her speech. Mills was at the event to talk about the cruelty of puppy farms, but found it hard to get a word in at all as the guests rudely spoke over her.

She reportedly said: “Listen up at the back. I haven’t been up for 24 hours and flew here from London to be ignored.” Then later in the evening, she complained that: “People go to these events, have a drink and leave.”

Well Heather, as someone who also goes to a lot of these events I think you’re right!! Most of the time people show up, get their pictures taken, drink the free booze and leave with a heavy gift bag and totally ignore the whole point of the evening. Good for you for standing up for yourself and demanding a little damn respect!
