Amy Winehouse sues ex mother-in-law for selling her love letter to Blaaake

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse’s mother is worried about rumors that she’s begging Blaaaake to take her back. In fact she’s so frustrated with all of Amy’s issues and poor decisions that she says if Amy and Blake reconcile, she – and Amy’s whole family – will have to basically cut her out of their lives. Not completely, as Janice says they’d never turn their backs on her entirely, but they’d have to “step back” from her.

Amy Winehouse’s family have threatened to “step back” from her life if she reunites with Blake Fielder-Civil. The controversial singer’s mother Janis Winehouse is devastated by reports Amy has been in touch with her ex-husband, and insisted she will pull back from her daughter’s life if the pair get back together.

She said: “The family will just say, ‘enough is enough.’ We’d never turn our backs on Amy, but there’d have to come a point where we step back…. I’m not sure how much more I could go through. Amy knows what we think of Blake so I suppose she’s hiding it.” Janis and Amy’s father Mitch both blame Blake for her descent into drug addiction.

Her family are concerned that rekindling her relationship with Blake – and Amy is believed to have asked him to give their marriage another chance – could cause her to spiral out of control again.
Janis told ‘Closer’ magazine: “Amy’s done so well getting healthy again. We all hope it’s not true they’re back in touch, but Amy is like a child. She says, ‘I love Blake, I love him’, and it’s hard to talk her out of it. She’s bad for her. Who knows what will happen? Amy says she wants a baby but it’s just talk. Amy doesn’t weigh enough to get pregnant.”

That thing about Amy wanting to have a baby has been around for a long time. She seems like the sort who might impulsively decide to get pregnant, so I really hope Janice is right and Amy’s too thin to actually do it. Normally I’d hope she could put on some weight, but in this case it might actually be a good thing.

If Amy’s trying to reconcile with Blaaake, she’s got a funny way of going about it. She’s suing Blake’s mom Georgette for selling a love letter Amy wrote him while he was in prison. And not for chump change either – Amy’s asking for £50,000. According to The Sun, Georgette stole the letter from Blake. Nonetheless, I doubt that suing his mum is going to endear her to Blake.

TROUBLED AMY WINEHOUSE is suing her former mother-in-law for selling one of her love letters. The steamy note was written for Amy’s then-husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL while he was jailed for assault and perverting justice.

Blake’s mum Georgette flogged it.

Now Amy, 25, is suing for copyright infringement and wants £50,000 compensation. Georgette previously accused the Back to Black singer of turning her son to drugs.

No date has been set for a hearing. But a pal said: “Amy was furious the private letter was used to make money.”

I had to look it up, but according to Wikipedia “flog” is British slang for steal or sell. And in this case it’s both! I think of all the people in the Amy Winehouse/Blake Civil-Fielder drama, the one I hate the most is Georgette. She is just one of those ridiculously blind mothers that absolutely refuses to admit her child is anything other than an angel sent from heaven. He could inject heroin right in front of her and Georgette would tell you he’s actually baking cookies. So I really love that she’s getting sued. And I’m obviously massively biased here, but it seems like Amy might have a case. Obviously she gave away some rights when she gave the letter to Blake, but I doubt that transfers into Georgette being allowed to steal and sell the letter. I hope.

Yay, more drama!

Here’s Amy on stage with Pete Doherty at the V festival in Chelmsford, UK, this weekend. She wasn’t performing with him, she just broke through security and ran on stage. And then pulled up her shirt and touched her stomach. Like we all do. Images thanks to INF Photo.

    Amy wants to have a baby? LOL! She cannot even look after herself – how is she going to be a mom to her child.

    Please man – Amy should just go away. I’m so tired of hearing about her sad life

    We thought Nicole Richie weighed too little to get pregnant too – and look what happened.

  6. Lisa says:

    Re ‘flog’: Pretty sure it just means “sell”. Never once heard it to mean “steal”.

    Take care of a child? She’s still sucking her thumb, ferchrissakes! The ‘appearance’ at V Festival was Amy Winehouse, basically showing everyone that ‘she’s still a valuable and big player in the music game’. Not convinced by a longshot.

    Capt. America may not be too far off the mark, her substance abuse and personal issues are more famous.
