Paul’s wife loses prosthetic leg as fur flies
Heather Mills-McCartney was left wincing in pain after her prosthetic leg became detached during a clash with security guards at Jennifer Lopez’s New York office, Hello! magazine reports. Sir Paul McCartney’s wife paid a visit to the headquarters of J.Lo’s Sweetface fashion label Wednesday afternoon to protest against the use of fur in some of its designs.
Tempers apparently flared after the charity campaigner arrived with a group of protesters. After the party refused to leave, security guards decided to escort them out of the building and it was then that her prosthetic leg came loose.
Representatives of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have meanwhile stressed that Mills-McCartney visited the premises of her own volition.
