A former employee of Heather Mills is suing the acid-tongued humanitarian for sex discrimination.
In a court hearing that got underway in London this week, Mills’ ex-banny argues that her former boss forced her staff to say positive things about her to a film crew, made her work long hours without any extra pay, and caused her to feel uncomfortable by moaning to her about ex-husband Sir Paul McCartney.
Sara Trumble, 26, says Mills became rude and highly irrational after she and the ex-Beatle divorced in 2008.
She also claimed the former model was unsympathetic towards her when she went through a difficult pregnancy, forcing her to accompany her on trips abroad.
Mills’ split from McCartney 2006 in a messy divorce in which she won nearly $50 million two years later. Some of the massive sum was intended to pay for a nanny for their daughter, Beatrice, but Trumble, says she was paid less than $500 a week for her round-the-clock service.
Trumble said she was horrified when Mills told a meeting of her staff that a new nanny would be looking after Beatrice and that Trumble would instead be a full-time housekeeper.
After four years with Mills, Sara believes she was ultimately fired after she revealed that she was pregnant. As a result, Trumble has filed a sex discrimination suit against Mills. She is seeking an unspecified sum in monetary damages.
