LONDON (AFP) - Heather Mills on Tuesday hit out at a judge's comments in his ruling on her divorce from Paul McCartney and admitted pouring a jug of water over the lawyer representing the former Beatle.

The 40-year-old former model turned charity campaigner, who lost a bid to keep the full judgment on the divorce private, told the BBC that judge Hugh Bennett's criticisms of her as "less than impressive" were "outrageous".

She also said that the decision to put the entire ruling in the public domain, including her home addresses, threatened her security and that of her daughter, four-year-old Beatrice.

Asked about accusations that she poured water over McCartney's lawyer Fiona Shackleton at the conclusion of Monday's hearing, she said she approached her and said: "I'm not a loser."

"I poured the whole jug of water on her head. I was very calm," she added.

After being awarded 24.3 million pounds (31.1 million euros, 49.1 million dollars), Mills strongly criticised Shackleton, who previously represented Prince Charles in his divorce from princess Diana.

Shackleton, whose helmet of blonde hair is normally impeccably coiffed, emerged from the court with a "just-showered" look. Mills previously said she had been given a "baptism" in court but denied she was responsible.

Heather should've known better than to **** with a Beatle

She didn't realize the wrath of them, just look how long it took Chapter 27 to find a distributer because of the scare tactics they pulled if anyone picked it up

The whole water dumping thing proves what a nasty person she is.

Take your money and vanish honey. Nobody likes you.

I agree totally. But at least it's nice that Heather got sufficiently less than what she was aiming for. All Paul needs to do is go on tour and he should easily recoup that $48 million back, and then some.

I wonder if we'll finally see Beatles remasters now. I remember hearing buzz that one of the things holding it back was the divorce settlement, Paul didn't want to risk the remasters coming out and selling well and having to pay more to Heather.

Oh boo hoo hoo. That's paahlenty of $. Hope Paul's lawyer sues her for assault and gets some $ damages for the "shower".
