Heather Mills is sticking to her guns about the video stills published in a British newspaper on Monday (12March 07), which illustrate her wearing a mink coat.Sir Paul McCartneys ex has explained her mum's death was the reason for her fashion error.Mills, a vociferous supporter of animal rights, was branded a "hypocrite" by sister-in-law Diana Karmal, who said, "When I see her anti-fur campaigns now, I always chuckle." But former model Mills insists she wore the coat to remind her of her late mother, adding she was not an anti-fur supporter in 1989, when the footage was taken. She says, "The coat belonged to my mother, who sadly died just a few days earlier and I wore it as it made me feel close to her. "I am not ashamed I wore it. At the time I was not a vegetarian and was not an anti-fur campaigner. I was extremely young and not aware of issues surrounding the fur trade."
