Paul McCartney is ready for his day in court.

Reuters is reporting that the ex-Beatle plans to fight the allegations made by his soon-to-be-ex-wife Stella McCartney that he mistreated her and was violent.

“Our client will be defending these allegations vigorously and appropriately,” Payne Hicks Beach, McCartney’s lawyer, said in a statement.

“Since the breakdown of his marriage Sir Paul McCartney has maintained his silence in not commenting on the media stories believing that it was best for all concerned, particularly his children, for there to be some dignity in what is a private matter,” the statement said.

“Our client would very much like to respond in public and in detail to the allegations made recently against him by his wife and published in the press but he recognizes, on advice, that the only correct forum for his response to the allegations made against him is in the current divorce proceedings.”
