Amy Winehouse's life is the biggest disaster since the Hindenburg. And now we know why...it's all her father's fault.
Amy's old man, Mitch Winehouse, has come clean about cheating on Amy's mom Janis. Mitch says he started fucking around shortly after Amy was born, and carried on the affair for years. He has since left Janis and married the mistress, Jane, who was referred to as "Daddy's Work Wife" by Amy and her brother Alex when they were kids.
Mitch says he didn't think his break-up with Janis had much effect on Amy at the time.
"[Amy] definitely became a lot more independent [after the divorce]. ... I thought Amy was over [the affair] pretty quickly – in fact it felt at the time Amy felt no effect at all. Maybe she could not articulate it in words, but she certainly did it with music."
Mitch also sort of takes responsibility for turning Amy into the mess she is today.
"It is easy for me to say it is my fault, and that had I been a better parent this would not have happened. But who knows whether it would or not?"
Nah Mitch - I'm sure it didn't hurt Amy at all having a cheating dog dad and a mom who made her wear ballet slippers.
