Amy Winehouse Back on the Road to Self-Destruction
No one ever thought that the pairing of Amy Winehouse and the walking crackhouse that is Blake Fielder-Civil was a good idea. Of course, as any parent knows, disapproval of your 20-something’s boyfriend increases his attractiveness by about 1000%. Clearly, this must have played a part in the relationship, as few would look at Blake and think “wow, there’s a great catch’.
Naturally, this drove a drunk and drug-addled Amy Winehouse to actually accept a little solitaire engagement ring from her man, and they married in 2007. After eight months of blissful matrimony—two of which saw Fielder-Civil in jail for assault—Blake filed for divorce, citing Amy’s infidelity while on an extended vacation in St. Lucia. They were granted a divorce earlier this year during a minute-long hearing that neither Winehouse nor Fielder-Civil attended.
Are You So Anxious to Look Like This Again, Amy?
Amy’s father made no secret of his dislike of Blake. He stated to the press that Blake had introduced Amy to crack and heroin while they were dating. He really had no choice. Without her being completely out of her mind, the Grammy-winning singer would have never married the pock-marked ex-con.
And then, after giving up drugs but embracing alcohol, Amy seemed to find a little clarity and peace in her ‘second home’ of St. Lucia. It was recently revealed to the press that Amy paid £1000 for a life-saving hernia operation on a homeless man whom she saw lurking near the five-star Cotton Bay Village resort in which she was staying. Although she is no stranger to strange, creepy men, she sent a security guard over with the cash to pay for the procedure. It was still a lovely gesture from someone who seemed to be finding some kind of serenity and perhaps even—dare we say?—sanity.
But just last night, Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, got a tip from security guards that Amy and Blake were in bed together at her north London home. Mitch showed up and allegedly threatened Fielder-Civil, saying he was going to “punch his lights out”. The brave Romeo then begged Mitch not to hit him and left.
Evidently, after 14 months of not seeing each other at all, Amy and Blake went out for dinner and drinks. The night ended up as expected: with the two of them at Amy’s in the wee hours of the morning. According to contactmusic.com, “They had a great night. Amy loved being in his company again.”
Those must have been some mighty strong drinks.
Maybe Mitch will be able to talk some sense into his daughter. Maybe he needs to get her back to St. Lucia. The combination of Amy and Blake is, literally, toxic. The attraction Amy feels is a mystery. Fielder-Civil’s corpse-like appearance and hyena-like charm are well-known.
Then again, the only reason anything about him is well known is because he managed to snag a talented singer with narcotics. For Blake, there is only an upside.
For Amy, it’s her sleigh-ride into divorce number 2 from the same loser.
Someone get this girl on a plane to St. Lucia and revoke her ex-husband’s passport, STAT.
