Check the post below with her financial info from the judge's ruling. More than half of her DWTS fee was presented to the court as income. She did indeed keep the money. And there is nothing incorrect about the above article. Heather repeatedly stated that she was donating ALL the money to charity--as I recall, at one point she crowed about being the only contestant to give away his or her fee.

She is gold digger. If she tells people on National TV that she is donating the money to chairty, all not some, then she should do that, other wise she is a lair.

Funny, truthyguy. Got it the first time. lol.

to quote Eddie Izzard: "A bit naive, I feel".

if you ever believed she couldn't "afford" an attorney, she should have married YOU

From Justice Bennetts judgment

152. The husband’s legal advisers have subjected that documentation and information to
rigorous scrutiny, which scrutiny, I am satisfied, is accurate. In her Form E the wife
disclosed £1,198,682 in bank accounts. Her receipts from October 2006 to December
2007 were £4,735,581, which included £2,500,000 interim lump sum, £180,000
allowance for March 2007, and the sale of Pandora’s Barn at £620,000 and deposit
interest of £56,318. It is also included US dollar receipts (which have been converted
into sterling), i.e. her fees from “Dancing with the Stars” of £109,322, Warner Bros
expenses £14,330 and deposit interest of £47,366. Her receipts do not include the
£3m made available by the husband for the purchase of Pean’s Wood.
153. Her expenditure from October 2006 to December 2007 totalled £3,715,683 made up
as to £2,996,159 personal expenditure, £682,425 business expenditure, and £37,099
cash expenditure. Within the figure for personal expenditure is the payment of her
legal fees of £1.003m as annotated by her on her bank statements and by the
information she provided.
154. Taking into account an estimated exchange rate adjustment the wife’s bank balances
as at December 2007 should have stood at £968,880. In fact they stood at £913,596,
an unexplained difference of £55,284.
155. Thus, it can be seen that the wife’s actual assets are now Pean’s Wood £3,675,000
(the wife has spent £675,000 on refurbishment; the vendor’s mortgage of £250,000
has been deducted), Angel’s Rest £2m (professionally valued in January 2008), bank
balances of £913,596, £683,000 represented by the agreed transfer to be made to the
wife by the husband of Sonya Mills’ house and the mortgage on Fiona Mills’ house,
and the wife’s pension assets of £30,965. The total is £7,302,561.

She didn't dispense with her attorneys because she was out of money--she had plenty, and was still hitting Paul up for as much as she could at every opportunity . Read the judge's ruling--if you dare. Your heroine has fallen, Lucille. The judge calls her greedy, a liar, a fantasist, and an extortionist..

Everyone knew she was going to get a significant settlement­--attorney­s are more than happy to work on contingency when they know the big payout will eventually happen. They dumped HER because she wouldn't listen to their advice and was destroying her own case. Ranting on TV and such.

Get real. She isn't going to "pay up the difference." Everyone is breathless that she got $48 million, but it's less than a fifth of what she demanded. She lost--big time. And she knows it.
