Winehouse’s mother in law begs judge to keep her son away from Amy


Amy Winehouse and drama go together like peanut butter and jelly. If the jelly were made of crack. And the peanut butter were a pipe. Unfortunately Amy Winehouse and drama also go together really well. To say she chases it would be a massive, massive understatement. Amy thrives on it. I seriously doubt she could exist in a state of calm.

Amy’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is scheduled to be sentenced for his role in an assault and bribery of a bartender. Blake plead guilty over a month and a half ago, but couldn’t be sentenced until all of his accomplices had completed their trials as well. Fielder-Civil’s mother is afraid that he’ll be let out of jail soon (presumably being sentenced to time served) and has begged the judge not to allow her son to be anywhere near his wife. Georgette Fielder-Civil is absolutely convinced Amy led Blake down the dark path, even though pretty much everyone with two brain cells to rub together believes the opposite.

Amy Winehouse’s mother-in-law is speaking out against the troubled singer – and blaming the 24-year-old for her son’s drug problems. “I don’t want him to go straight back to Amy,” Georgette Fielder-Civil told Britain’s News of the World of her incarcerated son, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday. “If he does it could be a death sentence for the two of them.”

Georgette has written a letter urging a judge to keep her son away from his wife. “Giving him and Amy another chance is like putting a gun to Blake’s head while playing Russian Roulette,” she said. But Winehouse’s father, Mitch, has repeatedly blamed his son-in-law for getting Amy into hard drugs. “Everyone knows that — apart from Blake’s mum and dad,” he said.

According to Georgette, her 26-year-old son wants to be Amy’s “savior” and “has every intention to try to stop the drugs.” Blake, mind you, was photographed earlier this month heating what appeared to be drugs in his jail cell and inhaling the fumes through a tube. Amy is “completely unstable,” her mother-in-law said. “Blake is a recovering addict and he’s not strong enough to resist the temptation.”

If nothing else, I admire Mitch Winehouse for being totally open, honest, and upfront about his daughter’s drug addiction. And he’s often said how fearful he is for Amy – not just that she’ll overdose, but that if nothing else she’s killing herself slowly due to her emphysema-like condition. But he’s never denied that Amy has a problem, though he does seem pretty powerless. But generally, you don’t hear him going on about how it’s everyone else’s fault, unless he’s directly responding to the Fielder-Civil family’s accusations that Amy turned Blake onto drugs.

Considering the depth of her denial, I’d guess that Blake’s mom isn’t doing him any favors. If she can’t be real with him, she’s just enabling and excusing his behavior. I absolutely think it’d be a great idea for Amy and Blake to be kept far away from each other. If there were a way to legally make two people divorce against their will, I’d nominate this couple first. But blaming Amy for Blake’s problems is utterly ridiculous, and probably one of those “pot calling the kettle black” situations.

Amy Winehouse is shown out in Camden late Saturday/early Sunday. The photo description reads: “Amy Winehouse went out to the Monarch pub in Camden, arriving at 2.30am and leaving at 5am. On the way home she stopped at the Esso garage grabbed some flowers and ran off.” D-Listed notes that the flowers are probably for Blaaake.

    Bored of Amy now….

    Is very sad but unless she wants to clean up then its pointless.

    Delusional fool. But she’s right although not for the reasons she gives. Amy’s his only income source. Cut that off and maybe he’ll actually have to work for a living and earn his own drugs money. That’ll drastically reduce his intake, considering his employment record. Oh wait, that’s right, he doesn’t have one.

    After working in criminal law for several years, one common theme I have observed in those who never rehabilitate and continue to be repeat offenders (drug related) over and over is the family enabling and defending the problem. The worst clients were always the ones who had the parents paying all the bills and on the phone every day trying to clean up the mess. They were always the parents calling for their 40 year old “children” making the most fuss over the injustice of it all. Never their fault. NO accoutability. This is a perfect example.

  4. geronimo says:

    Not an immediate concern for her. Just been given a 27 month sentence. 9 months served. Only 18 to go. There, Ma F-C, happy now? Amy can’t get at your precious innocent little boy. 🙄

    Mommy Blake Dearest might get her wish, after all. Blake may get out by Christmas.

    Winehouse’s husband is sentenced

    Blake Fielder-Civil was not in court for the sentencing
    Singer Amy Winehouse’s husband has been sentenced to 27 months in prison for attacking a pub landlord and perverting the course of justice.

    Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, of Camden, north London, admitted assaulting James King, 36, at the Macbeths pub in Hoxton, east London, in June 2006.

    Three other men were also jailed for perverting the course of justice, one of whom had also admitted assault.

    Fielder-Civil has already spent nine months in jail awaiting trial.

    Mr King claimed he had been bullied into withdrawing his statement against Fielder-Civil and Brown, who offered him a £200,000 bribe to drop his assault complaint.

    He was found not guilty of perverting the course of justice.

    Fielder-Civil’s wife, Amy Winehouse, was not at Snaresbrook Crown Court where the sentencing took place

    This is fantastic news. The worst thing for either of them is to be together, off the leash, so to speak. Pity it’s only 4 or so months before he’s eligible for release – they’ll need longer than that to straighten up

  7. Lauri says:

    He’s already been caught getting high in jail, so being incarcerated longer won’t help him get off the drugs. I agree that he and AW need to be as far apart as possible, though. Maybe this forced separation will cause enough of a rift that they decide to divorce.

    Those two are poison to each other and without question they will die early deaths if they don’t get their lives under control very, very soon.

    I wish I had her talent. I promise I wouldn’t throw my life away if I did! It’s a pity that someone so talented is so willing to just piss it away as if it were nothing.

  8. Lisa says:

    Oh please. These two are druggies. These TWO……………… The loser has OD’d while in jail………………

    I hope Amy has one of those moments of clarity soon, and dumps the loser herself. Maybe then she can say yes to rehab, and get it together. 😕

    Best line written about her ever, so truthful. I wish she would get her shit together, not for her career but so her family isn’t so stressed out. Her addiction is unfortunatly killing them too with worry and stress. Blahhhhh.
