Mills, who was awarded just under $50 million on Monday in her divorce settlement with Paul McCartney, reportedly dumped a glass of water on the ex-Beatle's lawyer during the proceedings.

The Daily Mirror, which declares "Wet It Be" on the paper's cover, says Mills poured the glass of water over Fiona Shackleton's head, "leaving her with soaking wet hair."

When questioned by the BBC, Mills said that Shackleton had been "baptized."

Photos of Shackleton on Monday show a markedly different hairstyle and texture from before the hearings to after, as the lawyer's hair looks a bit damp while leaving the court.

The Costliest Star Splits

1 of 11

Heather Mills will see a $48.6 million payday from her split with Paul McCartney. Just where does that land the couple on the list of the most expensive star splits ever?

Following the settlement, Mills also lashed out at Shackleton, who she says "handled this case in the worst manner you can ever, ever imagine."

Mills' behavior in the courtroom had been singled out by Hugh Bennett, who handed down the judgment on the settlement in the case.

In his ruling, Bennett said that Mills' evidence was "not just inconsistent and inaccurate but also less than candid. Overall she was a less than impressive witness."

Bennett also called out Mills for her initial divorce claim for $250 million. In his ruling, the judge said Mills' claim "is and was unreasonable, indeed exorbitant."

Heather Mills is nothing but a gold digger, she got so much for being married such little time, If I were him I would of fought for coustody of his daughter, If he were in the US this would never happen her getting 50 m . she;d get for yrs of being his wife. The daught would get child support for sure.

Advice from Daddy.Yeas of the heart. Never trust a mate who says he/she will love u forever. You're better off havin' your own place and dating each other. Get angry. Go home. if you're going to get hitched, Pre-nup is the way to go. Keep your own place. When money and materials are involved, let your partner know what he/she can expect from you. When sex is involved, "Be sure to wear a hat!!" They'll trick you every time. I was happy to have my daddy raise me.

Heather is simply a gold digging ho....Paul is better off paying the witch off and getting her out of his life as much as possible. I feel sorry for the child to have a mother like her. I hope what goes around comes around. I hope she meets a really great guy who takes her for every penny she has stolen!

Heather MILLs,

She is Awful. I knew back when I heard she threw her engagement ring off some balcony, that she was a Low life Money grub scum. He (Paul) seem to have given her everything she wanted. I mean dang she could have gone out shopping all the time, travel, probably do whatever she wanted and with more money if she didn't have to make a ASS out of herself. PLUS SHE WOULD HAVE HAD RESPECT FROM THE WORLD. Hell she could have Slept in another house probably and stayed married. SOME people are Truly fools.

I hope she spends all her money up which she will and then .. Oh well.

Why did she have a kid with Paul McCartney if she didn't want to be with him. UMMM could it have been $$$$$$$$$$$. What a wicked woman.
