Comments on: Heather Mills Named VegNews “Person Of The Year” http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/10/23/heather-mills-named-vegnews-person-of-the-year/ Causes Entertainment Lifestyle Pop Culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:37:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jenn http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/10/23/heather-mills-named-vegnews-person-of-the-year/comment-page-1/#comment-387167 Jenn Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:58:46 +0000 http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=21332#comment-387167 Hate to disagree with you, but I do. Paul McCartney, like most, does not shout it from the rooftops, but he has done more for vegetarianism and other charities (Liverpool Institute for one), than she will ever do. I'm sorry, but I believe she does more harm than good because she is so transparent. She lies and lies, and it seems that some people feel that isn't important as long as she supports their cause. I find it interesting too that for the most part she gives product and not money--she needs that for her staff, I mean friends. Hate to disagree with you, but I do.

And again, its just mixing her private family life, which is private and should stay private, with her public vegan life. I dont go for the "paul mccartney and his family are poor victims" stuff. he is an adult, inteligent, rich and got laywers and heaps of friends. I prefer donations that are made not anonymous, but given in the persons name so we all can see and other people might take a good example set by these famous persons. Also i believe that if mr McCartney would be on the same track and opened a chain of veggie restaurants, that would be awsome and make a great impact, wouldnt you say ? Let those millions $$ work for veggie business i would say to mr McCartney, something that Heather Mills is doing, hence she is rightfully chosen to be person of the year. Its great that VegnNews didnt take the easy way out and choose a safe option and some cute girl, but instead did choose Heather Mills. And its great Eccorazzi did interview her because of that me and others indeed did form a more balanced opinion of her. i will stop supporting her if she is caught redhanded with a burger in the McDonalds , until then, she has my vegan blessing. dont become dissilusioned, please. i just said that i did read your link and based on that information and other stuff i read, i gave you my opinion. ;-)

And what the judge had to say only dealt with what Mills said and did in court. It didn't describe how she did everything possible to make life a living hell for her ex and his family. Do you really think a person can be dishonest and cruel in one area of her life and admirable in others? I gave Heather the benefit of the doubt for years and even defended her to people a number of times. But after reading story after story from people who had known her personally and and seeing her despicable behavior during her divorce I finally realized that her reputation as a dishonest, sometimes cruel, fame/publicity hungry woman was well-deserved. And I would bet that any objective evaluation of who had done more for animal rights and vegetarianism would favor Paul and his family. As far as financial contributions, Paul has always made a point of giving anonymously, feeling it is in poor taste for wealthy people to make a big show of giving. If you choose to admire Heather and believe that she is or will be a positive force for 'the cause' I would prepare to be disillusioned somewhere down the road.

I think i could agree with you she is an exwife out of hell, a real bitch so to say. But what has that to do whith her vegan achievements and her sincerity as a vegan ?? In a very sly way her rather bitchy ways regarding her divorce are unfairly mixed with her supposedly being a fake vegan, just out there for the fame. Harry Ewen is so right. Although she has a fraction of the money that Paul Mcartney has, she does ten times as much in a vegan way with it. (and thats not saying something bad about Paul McCartney) I did read both sides of the storie, her helluva divorce (throwing a glass of water over the attorneys head seems un-for-givable for some people here..) and her own words in interviews (thans Ecorazzi!). To me she seems a great vegan activist and vegan entrepeneur inspiring many people, and if i ever could meet with her one day i am sure i would be very inspired by her. jane, i did read the link.

Heather Mills was well known from the point she lost her leg in the UK. Obviously she became a lot more famous after marrying a Beatle but that's hardly her fault. The stick she takes because she married a Beatle and divorced him (well, even when she was married to him actually) is totally unjustified and appears to be based on peoples taste in music and nothing to do with reality. She has done NOTHING other than get a divorce settlement that people didn't agree with. The relentless slating of her for is quite frankly boring and tiring. Give her the credit she deserves for believing in helping Animals (Dog & Car fur ban alone was a HUGE achievement) and stop bashing her because she's got a TINY amount of her husbands money. Do you really think that the money he gave her he's even noticed has gone? Erin, you are so wrong. Heather Mills was well known from the point she lost her leg in the UK.

If he had the same passion that Heather had imagine what he would have achieved. She's shown way more passion for Animals than Paul for me.

The entire McCartney family, (they promoted meatless mondays) Ed Beagly. There are so many out there doing great things, and for many years. Let's talk about Ms. Mills, she raises money for feeding children in the Bronx. Excellent, how does she do it, but jumping out of an airplane. Not so enviornmently friendly, but pr friendly. She goes on the radio saying a vegan diet can cure diabetes. Maybe it can, but she has no creditals to say this. And without specifics that advice can be deadly. If you want someone outspoken, then she is your ideal choice. If you want someone effective, then look harder. Alicia Silverstone.
