The former model - who vowed to give her entire fee from her 2007 appearance on the US TV talent show to Viva! (Vegetarians International Voice for Animals) - insists she hasn’t kept the money for herself.
She fumed on her Twitter blog: “Dear Hufington post Roger freedman please take your lies off Wiki. All my fees from Dancing with the stars went to Viva after taxes not me (sic).”
Heather seemingly unleashed her rant after online encyclopaedia Wikipedia quoted Huffington Post newspaper reporter Roger Friedman, who claimed the 41-year-old animal rights campaigner donated less than half of her £110,000 appearance fee to Viva!.
The Wikipedia page reads: “Heather was eliminated from the show in the sixth week of the competition on 24 April 2007, donating £50,000 of her £110,000 fee for appearing on the show to Viva!, although she had previously said that she would donate her entire fee to animal rights groups.”
When Heather was voted off ‘Dancing With The Stars’ she said: “I have raised a fortune for our charity and hundreds of thousands of animals' lives will be saved.”
This isn’t the first time Heather - who lost her left leg below the knee in a motorbike accident in 1993 - has been accused of failing to hand money over to worthy causes.
In 2006, she vowed to give "a large majority" of her £24.3 million divorce payment from Sir Paul McCartney to the Adopt-A-Minefield organisation but the charity claimed it didn’t receive anything.
She also previously said: “Around 80 per cent of my money goes to charity."
Heather recently claimed her request to donate money to charity in return for promoting a computer game was rejected by the manufacturers.
She said: “I got offered to promote an amputee bionic computer game, from a wealthy computer games company I said I would if they donated a large sum to charity."
"The stingy company came back saying they couldn't, what happened to charitable businesses, seems they just want to exploit and give nothing," she said.
