Heather Mills says her privacy has been "deeply invaded" after discovering that she was a target in an alleged sting operation to get her to spill on her infamous divorce to Sir Paul McCartney. Mills says she caught a tabloid reporter creating a phony charity to attempt to scheme her into sharing details about her divorce, which is strictly prohibited as per her divorce settlement to the famous Beatle.

Because it is against the law for Mills to talk about her divorce, "she doesn’t really talk to the press often," a U.S. representative for Mills told wowOwow.com. That same press representative addressed the "sting operation."

Mills says that her agent was approached by a "Dr. Erika Taylor" claiming to be with an American-based charity called Marital Understanding. Now the former model believes "Dr. Taylor" was a News Corp journo trying to get her to talk. Mills and her team grew skeptical when they went on the charity’s website and found it to be rather bare. They soon discovered the site was created just two days before the link was sent to her. ABC News spent six weeks investigating Mills’s story and reports additional questionable details about the "charity":

In fact, there is no such charity called Marital Understanding, according to the California secretary of state’s office. No nonprofit organization called Marital Understanding has filed a 990 form in California. The California secretary of state’s office confirmed that no charity by that name is in their database. The website, maritalunderstanding.com, has since been taken down. Mills traced e-mails from the alleged charity to discover that the IP address belonged to News Corporation.

News Corp, Rupert Murdoch’s brainchild, runs several British newspapers, including the tabloids The News of the World and The Sun, and U.S. publications, including the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal.

Mills has fought the tabloids in Britain in the past. She’s brought five complaints to the British Press Complaints Commission — an independent organization that oversees the press — and retractions were issued in all five instances.

In this recent run-in with the tabloids, Mills first felt "severe disappointment mixed with a feeling of having her privacy deeply invaded," her representative told wowOwow. "Then it was a matter of taking it to the proper authorities to have it remedied. Hopefully, it will be remedied in court."
