Psycho Mills: 'I'm Treated Worse Than Pedophiles'

If there's an award for most psychotic pseudo-celebrity, this one may run away with the prize.

Heather Mills McCartney claimed she is being treated worse than a paedophile and murderer by the media.

She also insisted the wealthy elite are either snobs or stingy but maintained it was necessary to move in their circles to bring about change.

The estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney was speaking in Dublin last night after being named an honorary patron of the Trinity University Philosophical Society.

While talking about her recent high-profile conversion to veganism, the prolific campaigner launched an outspoken broadside at society's rich and powerful.

"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she said.

"Because people are very snobby - these people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy.

"If you have lots of money you have to be stingy because why would you that amount of money."

She added: "But you have to be able earn a certain living and be able to mix in that arena to influence those people and kind of drag that out of them to actually make a change and make them realise that's what's really exciting about life."

Mills said she didn't know why she evoked such extreme feelings in people but accused the media of demonising her.

"I don't think anything can prepare you for being treated worse than a murderer or a paedophile when all you have done in 17 years is charity work," she said.

Maybe if she just dummied up for five minutes, people wouldn't be ridiculing her so much.
