Why Lie????
Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse's publicist is blaming those cuts on her arm on her cat.
Come on, now!!!!
There is no way those are just "scratches" from an angry kitty.
People are not stupid. Don't lie! Just say "no comment."
Update: Amy's publicist, Chris Goodman, from the U.K.'s Outside Organisation, writes us with the following statement.
"Hi Perez,
"For the record, as Amy's spokesman, I did say no comment. It was another newspaper who reported they are cat's scratches.
Thanks."

I love Amy Winehouse and I feel so saddened by this pictures.. Her music is unbelievable and that girl can sing. But clearly she lets her man get her down too much.
Someone get this girl some help.
meow! First
CRANK BIATCH!!!
sexy.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRST MOFO!
YO
I agree, don't lie. Amy - please get into counseling and learn to start loving yourself.
am i first???
it was probably pete doherty's cat on a crack-induced rampage, tore the shit outta half of london…
Maybe she was trying to give it a bath, but it doesn't look like she bathes so most likely she doesn't care if the cat is stinky.
I'm sure if Amy were actually cutting herself, she would have hidden them a bit better.
being a former "cutter", these don't really look as if she were trying to hurt herself.
UNLESS- she wants some publicity
wow… i happen to have a cat with very sharp claws, and it would not produce wounds like that. period.
sad. :0(
Wino… put down the blade… how dumb!
Ps. FIRST!
Cats don't scratch you in long well defined straight lines. Also, most cutters are lucid enough not to go sleeveless. It's a cry for help and I hope it comes soon enough to save her.
WHAT A JOKE! I FEEL BAD FOR HER SORRY ASS
yrd
Come on !! I hate people giving celebs the special treatment, fuck no those aint from her cat ,shes just as bad as brittany spears. THAT BITCH NEEDS HELP!! and whats up with the im first shit Grow the fuck up
If you don't want to answer questions, cover that shyte up!
first? probably not
i feel so bad for amy
Why would she tell the truth?
"I'm sorry, but Amy was sad today and cut at her arm."
Not going to happen
so what's her cats name? Uniclaw? never seen a cat with just one!
FIRSTY FIRST shes nasty.
why doesn't she even bother to cover herself up?
pahh…attention seeker.
The record is skipping, heard this and seen it before. GO AWAY MESS!!!!!!!!!
First! Maybe top 5!
last nigh China Doll was gross
i love how she was like "Perez I love you" and he was like "uh…*scarred face*…well…there is a lot of me to love" hahahahaha
first?
Yikes. They've already used the cat excuse at least once before.
I agree those injuries are not from a cat with issues.
She's going to die soon if her handlers and hangers-on don't help her.
So so pathetic.
My cat used to give me horrible scratches much like Amy's all over my legs, so it is possible. Either way, I hope she is doing well.
stupid loser.
first??
Hmmmmm…maybe cat scratch fever is causing that plague on her face, too. She is gonzo and needs some HELP!!!
Please! a cat scratch would be three red lines close together, not one and not that long, cats strike quickly when they attack and the lines would be shorter.
first
Stupid junkie cunt
unless that kitty has one lone claw, it's not a cat scratch!
omg! Setiously a cat?
Yeah I have cats and there is no way all of those are from cats…
Obviously she's a cutter. She must be really hurting inside to do stuff like this.
those don't look like significant wounds. it's probably a cat. i mean if i were a cat and a crusty faced drug addict was trying to handle me, i'd be clawing a bitch up too
I don't know Perez. If we recall her crack video she even said herself that 'if she were that cat she would call a cab and get out of there,' so that has to say something about the way her kitty feels about her…maybe those really are cat scratches. And who knows..the nastiness on her face could be from cat scratch feva!
I hope she didn't give the poor kitty and nasty diseases.
Maybe her cat is a cutter!
Yeah, my step-daughter use to say the same thing about her cutting. She got help, so should Amy.
Actually those DO look like cat scratches. I'm not saying she's not a tripped up skank but those probably are cat scratches your gayness.
first that go to hurt!
Give me a break…if she didn't want the world to see and talk about it, she'd wear long sleeves. Please…
i agree, the first time i saw the pics they look like cat scratches. my kitten always plays with me like that and when i go to work people tell me i look like my hand was down the drain.
She really needs help, poor thing. There's no problem telling those marks aren't from a cat. I have a cat myself, and knows what marks a cats claws leaves. Not straight, sharp cutmarks, that's for sure.
WOW! WHAT A SHITTY MESS. HOW OLD IS THIS CRAZY? CAN'T HER PARENTS OR SOMEBODY TALK SOME SENSE INTO HER. PUT HER IN A STRAIGHT JACKET ASAP AND TAKE HER TO THE FUNNY FARM AND SHOCK HER PEA BRAIN UNTIL SHE DROOLS, THEN THROUGH HER INTO A CAGE.
Although it is Amy Winehouse, it could be true. I've had cats my whole life and I've had scratches that bad or even worse. But again … it's Amy Winehouse. Hah.
TO the lame publicist: Bitch please…. Do we have S.T.U.P.I.D inked across our collective foreheads?!
well i have to admitt you are good at your job perez, britney spears i fell soooo sad and her pregnant sister! gaspppp those two need to think about there parents! it cant be good for them they thought they had two beautiful daughters that are good girls! boyy how wrong can you get!
who cares? let her self destruct! We want to see the uncensored pictures of Audrina Partridge!!!!! LOL
looks like dir en grey have won another fan.
Fat Perez sez, "I am Fat!"
that's nooooooooooot true.. I have a cat and scratches down't go in opposite directions…. She really needs to get help
um despite the fact that i dont believe her excuse, a kitty could in fact do that to a person. i have three huge scars on my right arm that my cat gave me when trying to load her into a crate to move cross country. at the time, my arm looked pretty close to that. she freaked out and did these swirls around my arm scratching the shit out of me. that being said, Amy is a sick bitch and she totally cuts herself….but your statement is not true Perez
Didn't she get that tattoo of the naked lady's nipples covered up??
This picture looks like it was from a long time ago
What… did the cat just stick out its middle claw… say FU and start hacking away? PLEASE!!!
that's the worst excuse ever! i love how the scratches are perfectly straight and clearly self inflicted-but they still insist it was from a cat!
Bull shit. If a cat did that her cat is possesed!!
As a former cutter I agree with another comment, that doesnt look like a cutters work. And my cat makes heavier scratchmarks than that, so come on!
If those are from her cat, she might want to get her kitty some valium or something - DANG! Poor girl, I hope she gets better!!!!
Since I've owned cats before, I'm confident that Amy's publicist is telling the truth. When my cats would scratch me (which was rare), the scratches sometimes were that bad. And since I have sensitive skin, they would be more aggravated that on the avg. person.
I hope the best for Amy and hope her life is getting back in order.
No that's absolutely not from a cat. Cat nails are close together. There would be two or three close scratches. That's not the case here. Looks like razor blade cuts. Please Amy, get help !
I don't know Amy so who knows the truth but I will say that we had a kitten/cat who was a total psycho and would scratch the crap out of people and I hate to say that a friend of mine after picking up our psycho cat looked a hell of a lot worse than this picture. Of course we had to give it away it was demented.
As someone who is a recovering cutter those are not from a cat.I know I have two cats and they cant do that kinda damage.Amy is very talented and just needs to get some serious help as I am.
My first impression was that they were cat scratches. I get them all the time and they DO look like this. Cut the girl a break people!
Hey, Dumb AZZES… that's very likely from a cat! Just because they're not close together doesn't mean shit. And the cat DOESN'T have to be ANGRY to scratch! I get scratches all the time from my cats like that when they're PLAYING! They usually just use one claw and tease me with their swipes. Geesh! Such DRAMA on here!
Wow - those kitties sure are good at drawing straight lines on Amy's skin. Does Amy have ferrel cats as pets? And was Amy unconscious when this vicious cat attack took place? I think I could have moved my arm after the first scratch.
BTW - I have two cats with claws and they have never as much as punctured my skin.
Fuck me. That cat should enter medicine. All those fucking scratches and all so perfectly straight. What a champ
Seriously Ami and co. We aren't fucking doing hard drugs like you that our brains are fried to even entertain the idea. Even high I can't imagine buying that bullshit
I hate admitting this but I have a history of cutting myself, and I completely agree that those are NOT from a cat. They may have just been light cuts but I can almost guarantee that there are deeper cuts on hidden parts of her body. It's sad that someone does this to themselves. I'm getting help for my problems and I can only hope that Amy sees just how distructive it can be. Not only to herself but to others around her [and her fans].
Actually, that looks exactly like cat scratches. Now granted thats alot of scratches, but that is exactly what cat scratches look like.
Perez, if you think that there is "no way" those could be cat scratches you've never tried to hold on to an angry or scared cat.
i know she might be "out there", but YES, those COULD have come from a cat………especially if she is allergic to them. I am allergic to cats and if I get scratched by one, I swell up exactly the same way. Try not to be so JUDGEMENTAL and pretend to know it all perez; I love your site, but you don't know everything, queenie!
I'm sorry, but I have 3 cats, and they never scratch that perfect. Those scratches are clearly strategically placed. all perfectly parralell. no way! I'm so over this woman. Next!
If a cat can DESTROY A COUCH….WTF would this be impossible? People who cut themselves do a little more damage to themselves. LAME
Maybe she has a lesbian lover while Blakes in the slammer called "Cat" !
because cats scratch with one nail at a time, good cover up!
Re: bob –
Bullshit Bob.. Cat scrathes don't fucking run that long and perfectly straight. Not once, not trice but heaps of times. At that lenght when a cat scratches you you pull away and the scratch is veered. You guys a fucking smoking too much crack if you think a cat did that.
Thay kinda look like cats scratches. Some cats can play pretty damn rough. The ones on her upper arm are a little suspicious though.
Declaw the puss. Or is that illegal in the U.K.?
Not gonna lie, My kitten was brutal at one point. Pretty sure it could be true.
im praying for Amy and her publicist for saying it was a damn cat…
THE CAT WAS PISSED BECAUSE SHE WAS OUT OF CRACK
When I cut myself I blamed it on my cat, too. Which isn't fair because my cat is really sweet and would never do that to me, and also because I needed to take responsibility for my actions. Just admit it, Amy! Besides, do you even HAVE a cat?!
I have five cats so i know that it could actually be cat scratches, but you never know with Wino. Lets hope that she doesnt get cat scratch fever along with impetigo. I Love Her!!!
If those were from a cat, wouldn't there be a pattern of scratches together. I've never seen a cat just scratch with one claw……you usually see 3 or 4 scratches together.
not to rain on the bad side parade, but let me tell you the truth. i have cats and I have done some cutting… and the cuts in this pic look more like Ms Meow than self inflicted. i have some from my cat on my hand now that have caused my co-workers to give me the wonky sideways look!!! but the skin? yea thats drugs for sure! love you amy hope you get better soon!
I had cats all my life and if the cat scratched me once that bad,let alone all those times, it'd be out the door!!! She must keep a mountain lion. I don't buy it.
I mean, the cat excuse/reason is probably not true, but it totally a possibility. Until my cat has scratched you, you don't know pain. He has made both my arms (simultaneously) look worse than that. That month, I got a lot of looks.
Although I think Amy Winehouse is overrated, I do hope she gets help.
Actually, I have been scratched by a cat and those look very much like cat scratches. However, given Amy's history, I doubt that is the case.
My daughter was a cutter and those look nothing like what she would do to her arm. They look more like my arm when I tried to pick up a wild kitten one time. Yes she needs help but what good does it do the young woman that every time she steps out her door people are assuming the worst. I am sure she is not the first person to have Impetigo and cat scratches but because of who she is everyone goes into a frenzy. She is a young adult who has problems just like thousands of others.
So funny to read all of these comments. Cats can, actually, do that much damage. And I agree - a cutter would hide them - it's a very personal thing.
Holy God! That's one aggressive feline! What does she own? A Siberian tiger?
Like a few others have said… those actually DO look like cat scratches. And if a cat is being forced to do something it doesn't want to it WILL go nutso and the marks WILL look like that. BELIEVE me, I know.
And again, most cutters DO try to hide that a little better…
Perez, those scratches can most definitely be cause by a kitty!! My mom addopted two kittens for my little brother a couple months ago and they were scared when you tried to pick them up so they whaled there legs and had their claws out. I had scratches like that all over both my wrists and arms for weeks and it looked like I cut myself. I even have scars now!!
My cat always gets pissed like that when I try to stuff crack up it's nose.
that is the same dumbass excuse i used to use when i was a pathetic emo looser in high school years and years ago. they are clearly not cat claw marks due to their lack of uniformity (they should be in short rows spaced as far as a cats TOESSSS) and also their depth. cat scratches are much more shallow. not that everybody didnt already know any of that. its too bad when you pretty much wish for your favorite musician to just OD or take their own life some other way that way you dont have to watch them fuck up their life anymore. doesnt she realize how good she could have it??? fuckin kills me.
