Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Dad Sez Amy Was Not Interested In Drugs Prior To Being Interested In Blake

Amy “I Killed A Man In Prison Just To Watch Him Suffer” Winehouse is perhaps these days as well known for her Drug Hell and accompanying ‘personal issues’ as she is for her music, which – until the Grammys just past – seemed to be taking a backseat to the increasingly soap opera-esque events of her personal life.

Well, let Dad Mitch Winehouse take you back to a more innocent time, a time pre-Blake Fielder-Civil, when Mitch claims Amy wouldn’t have dreamed of touching hard drugs.

You see? We told you it was his fault. Blake, that is, not Mitch.

Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch has blamed his jailed son-in-law for his daughter’s addiction to class A drugs.

While Mitch concedes Blake Fielder-Civil is “not entirely responsible” for Amy’s drug problems, he believes they worsened after the two married last year.

Before getting together with Blake, Amy had told her dad she thought class A drugs were “for mugs”.

Blake, 25, is currently languishing in London’s Pentonville prison awaiting trial for GBH and alleged trial fixing.

In an interview with Closer magazine, Mitch said: “He’s not entirely responsible, she’s got to take a portion of the responsibility, but it’s clear, it really kicked off when they got together.”

There are also some heartwarming words from Winegums’ mum, Janis, who maintains that Amy is a free spirit who just wants to try everything (including a worrying childhood foray into shrooming):

“Amy’s a survivor. I’ve had enough silly childhood things to know that – she once ate a toadstool in the garden when she was a toddler.

“She’s always wanted to taste, try, understand everything at every level all her life – I guess it feeds her creativity.

“She has a true passion for life. And Ribena. And ice pops and chocolates!”

Well, isn’t that just sweet. All we need to do is make sure Amy is kitted out with tooth-rotting sweet cordials and lollies and everything should be right as rain!
