Gone but never forgotten..
In a new tell-all book, written by Chloe Govan and sourced from interviews with a close friend of the beloved Amy Winehouse, is letting the world in on the reasons behind Amy drug abuse. According to these interviews, Amy was controlled and manipulated by her husband at the time Blake Fielder-Civil. The book says he used drugs and emotional S&M to ensure her place in his life:
“Music was the other man in Amy’s relationship – something she loved as much as she loved him – and it drove Blake insane with jealously. He was afraid that one day Amy would see him as a good for nothing guy and chuck him out of her life. If she was off her head on drugs, there was less chance of that happening, so some might say he was trying to sabotage her career.”
Explaining in further detail:
“To begin with, he was also Amy’s supplier. He could decide if he was going to give her drugs and he liked that because it gave him a type of control in their relationship that he’d always been lacking. He was constantly pushing Amy to the limit and testing her love because he felt powerless in their relationship. She was the one with the money and the adulation and she could call things off at any time, so he wanted to be sure she’d stay. It was very manipulative. The more Blake was cruel and unkind to Amy, the more she felt she needed him and vice versa. They got off playing the games. It was emotional S&M.”
When she tried to turn the tables, they said she claimed to commit suicide:
“Amy soon found a way to manipulate him right back – she threatened suicide if he left. If the stress got too much, they’d self-harm to punish themselves or get attention and a shock reaction from the other one. All this was so unhealthy, but Amy was addicted and couldn’t let him go, whatever he did to her. She was a fool for love.”
Theres nothing worse than having so many questions for someone thats no longer here to answer them. With her husband playing a part in her death, I wonder how he deals with it..
