Amy’s father, Mitch Winehouse, addressed reporters assembled outside his home on Tuesday, the day pictures of his daughter smoking crack were published.
He said:
“I’m off to see Amy now. I’ve spoken to her already and she’s fine. She says she’s ok, so no problems. All that picture shows is what everybody knew anyway. Yes, I am worried about her but this picture doesn’t show anything we didn’t already know before. It just shows me the tabloids are resorting to underhand tactics to expose her and we already know what the problems are.”
Both Amy’s dad and mom have spoken publicly about their daughter’s struggles with substance abuse.
It must be so heartbreaking to be in a situation where you feel so helpless.
The only one that can help Amy at this point is Amy. Hopefully she’ll get the help she needs!
Update:
Universal Republic records released the following statement on Tuesday, in response to the continued downward spiral of their breakout star, Amy Winehouse:
“We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems.”
