Heather Mills decision to speak out about her treatment by the media - she appeared on both "Today" and "GMA" this morning - is apparently not going over very well at all. Her publicist quit two days ago in protest of her plans, British newspapers had unflattering headlines today and the ladies on "The View" showed her no mercy.
Ouch!
"She's a gold digger! Let's face facts," Joy Behar said during the Hot Topics segment of "The View." "The girl is asking for $100 million." She accused Mills of "talking out of both sides of your mouth girl...that's why people don't like you Heather."
Behar characterized Mills as "crying her little heart out...she's saying the media is responsible for her discomfort. She puts herself in that position."
Whoopi Goldberg was critical of Mills for appearing on "Dancing With the Stars" if she doesn't want press coverage: "Don't take you and all your baggage across the pond and go on 'Dancing With the Stars....then say boo hoo....Once you open that door that says, 'Here I am.' They come after you.'"
Whoopi was also critical of Mills talking publicly about alleged death threats: "When death threats were coming in my direction, they said you don't discuss them."

These ladies are harsh! But they are pussycats compared to the British media. Here is a sampling oif some of the headlines from today:

- The Sun, which regularly refers to Mills as "Mucca" for her topless modeling past, splashed this headline on iuts front page: "Mucca on the Edge," and described her as "out of control" and "wild-eyed."

- London's Daily Star: "Halloween? Mucca's Far More Scary!"

- The Mirror characterized her round of interviews as a "day of unhinged ranting."

Meanwhile, Mills publikcist, Phil Hall, quit on the eve of Mills' press tour telling People magazine that "it doesn't sit [well] with our company when one of our clients is attacking newspapers while we are trying to build relationships."
