Heather Mills McCartney, the recently estranged wife of the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, is planning to take legal action over a newspaper’s allegations that she worked as a prostitute in her twenties.

“Heather is very distressed by this article,” said her lawyers after allegations appeared in the News of the World tabloid over the weekend. Mills said the article was “untrue and highly defamatory.”

A statement also said that legal action against the paper would be put off until her divorce with McCartney is finalized.

Mills, 38, and McCartney, 63, announced their separation last month.
