Paul McCartney‘s American girlfriend, trucking heiress Nancy Shevell, is getting flack in her business life.
The 49-year-old has been dating the former Beatle for 18 months already, but it seems dating a celeb is distracting her from working a real job.
Shevell is currently vice president at New Jersey trucking company New England Motor Freight Inc. She’s also a board member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
And, now, reports have surfaced that since January of last year she’s missed four board meetings, which is more than any other voting member has missed, and she’s got 26 absences in total.
And what’s got other people peeved is that on dates of important meetings she’s been spotted out on the red carpet and at events with McCartney.
Gene Russianoff, a New York City transit advocate, says “It is significant. The whole point of the board is to be a check and balance on the MTA’s staff work. You’ve got to be physically present to do that.” And if they can’t show up, “they should resign.”
But the MTA is defending the slacker saying, “MTA board members are volunteers who serve without compensation and spend countless hours each month attending meetings and analyzing background materials.” They can’t lose their public figure.
What would U prefer? Dating Paul McCartney or working fulltime?
Helloooo Macca!
