I agree. The timing is very suspect. Maybe Paul was paying hush-money until they split up or maybe he didn't know . . . who knows how complicated something like this could be.
I'd say, poor Paul, but poor Beatrice seems more apropos.
It's not very shocking to me, this pictures I mean. I guess most models have pictures like these in their portfolio, sometimes taken when they needed the money. Regarding that, Heather won't have to do photoshoots like this any more.
I'm sorry -"depraved pornographic clinches"???? What Sunday School teacher wrote that? Britain has a history of page three girls - ladies who undress for the tabloids and engage in soft-porn - who are respected members of the UK entertainment scene. It doesn't seem Heather did much worse than that. Anyway, Paul got his todger out for the White Album, so fairs fair.
Somebody was holding these pix waiting for just the right time to unload them. To the highest bidder, no doubt. They do seem to be more than just "nudes"--but maybe there is just a male/female double standard (Stallone did some porn early in his career, if I remember correctly).
But no matter what your situation, you just don't want it to be your wife in the photos. Ouch!
