Amy Winehouse punches her own bodyguard

Oh Amy. You just keep falling faster and faster. Amy Winehouse recently started getting physical with several men – and not in the good way. There was the fan she attacked at the Glastonbury music festival. Then a few days ago she attacked another fan on the street. Now she’s attacked her own bodyguard, punching him right in the face.

Stand back everybody – here comes Amy! Cementing her reputation as a star not to be messed with, the 24-year-old got into her third brawl in two weeks – with her own minder. Returning home from the Good Mixer, one of her regular Camden haunts, Amy hit her waiting bodyguard directly in the face last night.

And by the looks of things he felt the full force of her hand, grimacing in pain as she went in for another blow. Wearing red shorts and a 1950’s style black shirt, Amy looked glamorous but dishevelled as she entered her North London abode leaving the unlucky minder behind her.

But he can take solace in the knowledge he’s not the only one to have been on the receiving end of Amy’s temper. She was seen striking a fan outside her Camden flat, claiming he had pinched her bottom. Prior to this, the singer hit out at another fan after he touched her beehive at Glastonbury. Now, judging by the pictures last night, she is taking on her own security staff.

I’m really starting to wonder if Amy is having mental problems from all the drugs. I mean obviously a person can act that way when they’re ON drugs – but let’s say she was just drunk when this happened, but otherwise clean at the moment. Could Amy have some damage resulting from her excessive drug use? We’ve seen her drunk a million times before, but that has only led to physical altercations on very rare occasions. Then in the span of two weeks she attacks men – unprovoked – three times. Even for her, this is some pretty bizarre behavior. Two of the men were her fans. Which makes her striking them especially out of character – Amy has been pretty friendly with her admirers in the past.

About six months ago Amy’s father was talking about wanting to get her sectioned – which is similar to getting someone committed in the U.S. As hard as it is to do that here, it takes even more work to do it in the U.K. But it’s starting to seem like Amy’s doing the work for her family. I can’t imagine she can get away with much more of this before she’ll end up locked away, either in jail or an institution.

    I think she may well be paranoid and delusional at times, yeah. Girl needs help. She seems to be hard on her way to doing a Janis

    😯 Um, do you think? Sorry, Jaybird, no offence, but she’s off her head 24/7. This is all drug/alcohol induced. She’s sick.

    Poor guy, I would feel very ashamed to have been punched if I was him… leave the job, you are worth better than to suffer the swinging moods of your employer
    PS : you might want to wash, I mean Sanitize, your face after those dirty hands touched you

    He should’ve dropped that cracked out bitch on her arse……..who does she think she is? She has everyone in the world hoping and offering for her to get help but she doesnt want it – maybe she will when the fame and money runs out – if she lives that long.

    Yes JayBird, I’m sure her brain is pretty addled by all the previous drug use, even if she isn’t high at that moment.

    I know it was reported on here recently, but if you take a look at Steve-O’s blog he talks about how messed up his brain is since he’s gotten sober. In addition to checking himself into a psychiatric facility multiple times, he also wrote 3 of the craziest blogs that I have ever read (that have since been taken down with his acknowledgment that they were crazy).

    One of my friends came off a decade of severely heavy drug use a few years ago. And though he is “sober”, he still gets random fits of rage and at other times people can go into catatonic states. Damage is done to the brain that just can’t be repaired.

    Whoa. Is her hand bleeding?

    Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
    It’s hard to tell whether her violent tendencies are a result of anger issues compounded by heavy drug use, or simply elevated/depleted neurotransmitters from the drug use itself.
    Regardless of the cause of her lashing out, Little Miss Crackweave is responsible for her actions.
    Be smart, Ames. Start small and take an anger management class. And a shower.

    IF you read the recent Rolling Stones interview in her home some things become very clear:

    1. Amy is on drugs. All the time.

    2. Amy is not very smart.

    3. Amy has screensavers on her laptop showing her sucking on a large penis.

  10. wow. looks like the security guards have to put up alot to guard her. Bet they did not expect the punches to come from their own client!
