The truth is that the pair were just not compatible for the long haul. I don’t think it’s laughable to suggest she was bored, but I also don’t think it was a generational thing. You’ve got two people who’ve both got tremendous interests that are going to take them in opposite directions.

Wins damages

Settlement0 Comments

Mills wins $316,700 in damages for an accident involving British police motorcyclist PC Osborne. The case is settled out of court without any admission of guilt from Mills for the loss of her left leg. Mills issues a statement saying she only sued Osborne after he pursuedĀ his own claimsĀ against her for stress, anxiety, and loss of overtime due to a sprained wrist.

I feel a sense of relief that this is all over and this has ended in the right ruling for the public, not just myself.
