Amy Winehouse’s dad: ‘Divorce Blake, you stupid girl!’

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse apparently plans to meet up with estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil so she can resolve their issues. Meanwhile Blake — who was released from prison in February after serving a 15 month sentence for assault and trial-fixing — wants to see Amy too… along with £5 million (AU$10.6 million) of her money.

But Amy’s dad, taxi driver Mitch, won’t have a bar of it.

“Does he think we’re idiots?” Mitch told the magazine Closer. “His mum’s saying: ‘He’s had such a hard time, and now someone has to compensate and support him’ — it’ll be Amy.”

Sadly, says Mitch, it’s Amy’s heart that’s clouding her judgement.

“Amy wants to resolve the situation. She’s guilty of loving him, stupid girl!” Mitch is quoted widely in UK press. “I’m not saying she’s going back to him, she just wants to talk.

“I want her to get divorced. I want Blake and his family out of our lives. I just hope Amy can stay away from him. It’s the only chance she has.

“Blake’s a destructive influence on her life. And he’s a liar. This is the man who openly admitted he introduced Amy to Class A drugs. Amy nearly ended up dead thanks to him.”

Amy split from Blake last November and, says her father Mitch, the only way she’ll return to her true calling is to stay away from her bad-news ex.

“Amy’s a musical talent, but since she’s been with Blake she’s barely been able to perform on stage, let alone make a record. All I want is for Amy to get well and to watch her sing again.”
