TROUBLED Paul McCartney has launched a stinging attack on estranged wife Heather —branding her a traitor after she accused him of "abandoning" her. Until now the 64-year-old rock legend has stayed silent on the couple’s bitter divorce battle. But reports of Heather’s "lonely me" whining fired him to confess to friends: "I feel betrayed. All I ever did was love her. But now she wants to hurt me. This is very upsetting for me and my family." After News of the World revelations about Heather’s past as a hooker and porn star, the final straw for Sir Paul came this week—when she was pictured looking gaunt and claimed to pals: "I’ve never felt more alone in my life. It’s like I’ve been abandoned." And we can reveal that Heather, 38, rubbed salt in by branding pop idol Macca as past it—vowing in front of shocked staff that she’d "never date a pensioner again".But a source close to Macca told us: "How can she be abandoned?" Those pictures were taken of her all made up and swigging lager at a Madonna concert, for goodness sake! "This was just her having another go at trying to make Paul look the bad guy. But how can he be? "As Paul says, all he ever did was love her and now she’s playing the victim. A pal of Macca confirmed: "He’s been round to see his daughter a few times this week. He waits till it’s late so he can do it quietly." The new house, known as Pandora’s Barn, cost £650,000 but Heather, who turned down a £30million quickie divorce, is still needled about it Ben told us: "She’s made no secret of it to her staff that she’s not happy with the place because it’s right on the corner of a busy lane and open to prying eyes. "For that sort of money they could have got somewhere tucked away with more privacy and better security. Heather feels Paul is responsible, and that in some way he bought it to wind her up. It’s been getting to her and she spends very little time there." Paul is upset, too. A worker on his Peasmarsh estate admitted: "He looks so low. He’s aged ten years all of a sudden. It seems this divorce has really taken it out of him."And we hardly ever see him. He’s kept himself locked away, trying to deal with things his own way."
