ROCK legend Keith Richards has accused a Scottish film director of setting up an affair between his lover and Mick Jagger.
He accused Edinburgh-born Donald Cammell of encouraging his Rolling Stones band-mate to bed Richards' then girlfriend Anita Pallenberg.
Richards then had a one-night stand with Jagger's girlfriend Marianne Faithfull in revenge, causing a lifelong rift.
The guitar hero launches a scathing attack on Cammell, who later shot himself dead in Hollywood, in his explosive tell-all autobiography.
Cammell, a shipping f irm heir, was directing cult movie Performance in 1968 when Jagger and Pallenberg - who were playing a couple - had an affair.
Richards said: "Clearly he took a delight in the idea that he was screwing things up between us. It was a set-up, Mick and Anita playing a couple.
"D o n a l d Cammel l was more interested in manipulation than actually directing."
Richards' hatred for Cammell, who died aged 62 in 1996, has been revealed in his book, Life.
Richards said: "I really didn't like Donald Cammell, the director, a twister and a manipulator whose only real love in life was f***ing other people up.
"He was the most destructive t**d I have ever met. Also a Svengali, utterly predatory, a very successful manipulator of women.
