Mitch Winehouse, Amy Winehouse’s dad, told People mag that Amy has almost died two times in her “worst moments.” According to his commentary for the documentary Saving Amy , the media had a field day with her “downfall” but “They didn’t see her lying in bed for days in a dark room.”
Mitch told Hello! magazine that “She was close to death twice. We have been working a lot to get her to where she is right now.” He stated that his daughter is now drug-free in the documentary, in which Amy’s mother Janis also appears.
Mr. Winehouse wasn’t just opening up about Amy’s recovery and downfall, however: he also talked about Amy’s impending divorce from Blake Fielder-Civil. He told Hello! that “I had to call Amy before she heard about it from someone else. She asked me, ‘Daddy, why does he want to divorce me?’ I said, ‘You know I don’t like him, but I have to admit that your behavior with another man is not what marriage is all about.’”
Well, he’s on the right page, albeit a very lax-sounding one. Perhaps he needs to treat Amy with kid gloves during her recovery?
