Does Amy Winehouse Really Need This Kind Of Support? - Page 2
Earlier detectives had been tipped off by the Mirror to an astonishing alleged plot to halt a trial in which Fielder-Civil and pal Michael Brown are accused of assaulting a barman causing GBH with intent. It is claimed £200,000 would have been paid to alleged victim James King to withdraw his police statement.
He would also be flown out of the country before the hearing in the hope that the case against Fielder-Civil, 25, and Brown - due on on Monday - would eventually collapse.
As part of our investigation King, who needed metal plates fitted in his face, was filmed withdrawing his allegations about the assault.
Amy was not filmed at meetings observed by the Mirror and there is no evidence to suggest she was involved in the alleged plot.
But police, who raided her home yesterday in an attempt to gather evidence of the claimed plot, will wish to see whether she can help.
You can read the whole sordid story at that link. Suffice it to say it isn't quite James Bond stuff.
I know that Amy must be distraught at this turn of events, but it is my feeling that Blake is a master manipulator. He has threatened suicide and bodily harm to himself if Amy didn't do as he wished, and you can tell by her body language that she is totally under his thumb. He seems to be able to twist her however he wants, and I'm sure the combination of drugs and Amy's admitted low self-esteem do not help matters any.
I certainly hope that her family can use this time to get her clean. She is a wonderful talent, wasting away before our eyes because of this. Yes, she has her own problems, and she needs to be an adult and face up to her responsibilities in getting her life to this point. But she and Blake have a parasitic relationship, and there's no way for either of them to get clean while the other is around.
And is Pete Doherty really the person Amy needs supporting her? He recently had his own relapse into drugs, and is supposed to be in rehab himself. Amy needs the support of pals who aren't junkies around her right now.
