Heather Mills: FAIL - Page 4
She agreed. He also told me that if she had insisted he would not have opposed her. In my judgment the husband's evidence is much more likely to be true.
[...] I accept the husband's evidence that in April 2004 he found a big name, Paul Newman, for her to interview on the Larry King Show as guest presenter.At paragraph 52 of her affidavit of 30 January 2008 the wife says that Larry King intended her to host more shows but the husband “put a stop to my dream of hosting the biggest TV show in the world and what would have been a huge and lucrative career move for meâ€. The wife says that the husband allowed her to do one show but no more as otherwise she would be a “bad†mother.
She told me in evidence that in April 2004 she had been offered a verbal contract to guest present the shows 2 or 3 days per week.
The husband's evidence to me was that he had never said that the wife was/would be a bad mother. He told me that she has always been a good mother.
The wife told him she had been offered a more permanent job co-hosting the Larry King Show. The husband was sceptical because the wife had received bad reviews for her interview of Paul Newman.
However he agreed to go to the US for 3 months to see how things went. He says he believed he owed it to the wife as she had accompanied him on his last US tour.
But they were both of the same mind that they, for Beatrice's sake, did not wish to relocate to Los Angeles. Thereafter the wife did not mention the subject again.
The wife in her cross-examination did not accept this account.
I am prepared to assume in the wife's favour that Larry King did float the idea of the wife doing further interviews on his show.
But I doubt it got any further than that. I do not accept the wife's evidence that she was actually offered a contract.
The idea was discussed between the wife and the husband. Beatrice was then about 6 months old.
This was the wife's first and only child. Her birth must have brought about a change in the outlook of the wife and husband, for the welfare of Beatrice to both of them was, and still is, of the very greatest importance.
I think the husband was, very understandably, reluctant about what would have been a relocation to Los Angeles and the likelihood is that he proposed a sort of temporary solution.
Thereafter the wife, having no doubt considered it all carefully with Beatrice's welfare in mind, dropped the subject.
In 2005, at a time when the marriage may have been faltering, the wife took part in a mini tour in the USA of public speaking with Smart Talk Women's Lecture Series. Continued on the next page
