Amy Winehouse in bloody hotel brawl with junkie husband
By RICHARD SIMPSON and CLEMMIE MOODIE


Bloody and battered after ripping into each other during a drug-fuelled row, this is Amy Winehouse, the cream of Britain's young singing talent, and her junkie husband Blake Fielder-Civil.


Stumbling around the streets of London at 4.45am, the pair bore the wounds of an almighty row which spiralled wildly out of control.


They have been holed up in a suite at a five-star hotel in Soho for the past three days after checking out of rehab for crack and heroin addiction.






The fight in the early hours of yesterday left 23-year-old Miss Winehouse with blood staining her pink ballet shoes and the knees of her jeans.


Purple bruises could be seen on the side of her neck and her knuckles were swollen.

But her 24-year-old husband appeared to have come off a lot worse - with cuts and scratches on both cheeks and around his neck.


Before the big fight, the singer had made a solo trip out of the hotel at 11pm, walking a few yards down the road to meet and hug a girl in her 20s before returning alone.

An eyewitness said it appeared the girl handed over some kind of small package to Miss Winehouse as they hugged.



Walking wounded: Amy, with first aid dressings on her left arm, leaves the shop after buying cigarettes
The singer returned to her hotel room and within hours other guests complained of raised voices, clattering furniture and screaming.

Shortly afterwards, the concierge was called.

Miss Winehouse, who has a history of self-harming, had asked for medical assistance to patch up cuts on her arm.


At around 2.30am, said guests, the fight sounded like it had restarted - then Miss Winehouse was seen sprinting down the corridor to the lift, pursued by her badly bleeding husband.


One guest who got into the lift to reception at the same time said they started shouting at each other. "Amy was in floods of tears. This guy was screaming at her.


"She was cowering in the corner and I thought he was going to hit her. When the lift door opened, she took off across the lobby at a real pace.


"He was chasing after her and was about five paces behind by the time she got to the main hotel entrance."


The couple then dashed into the street.

An eyewitness said: "Just after 3am, Amy came sprinting out and down the road.

"She was in a real state of panic. Blake was running after her, but couldn't catch up.

"Amy was so hell-bent on getting away from him that she ran into the middle of the street and flagged down a random car that happened to be full of girls.


"She was saying, 'Quickly, I have to get in, I have to get away, please help me'.

"Her voice was breaking, you could tell she was scared.

"The car drove off at speed and ended up about a mile away at Charing Cross station. Amy got out and went into a 24-hour shop to buy cigarettes.


"She was looking completely out of her head. Blake ran after the car for a while. He spent the next halfhour or so wandering around in a daze with blood over his face, looking in doorways for her, shouting her name out.

"Eventually, he got through to her on the mobile.


"There were a lot of tears and shouting, but they calmed down and met up at around 4am and slowly walked back to the hotel arm-in-arm. They got back at 4.45am."



Enemies reunited: Amy and Blake walk back to their hotel

Later yesterday, Miss Winehouse's father Mitch checked into the hotel and was expected to be joined by Blake's parents Giles and Georgette for crisis talks.

Earlier this month, before the pair checked into a rehab clinic in Essex, similar family crisis talks in Hampshire erupted into a bitter row.


Yesterday afternoon, Miss Winehouse - wearing skinny-fit jeans, black ballet pumps and a T-shirt, with her hair in its trademark beehive - spent time in the hotel's spa.


She also hired out the hotel's private members area, where it is thought "peace talks" were held.

Ladies and gentleman, meet winners of the 2007 Sid & Nancy Graveyerd Love Award, Amy Winehouse and Blake Civil.

This insanity with Amy has been going on all month, I'm surprised this is the first story the Org has picked up about it. She overdosed earlier this month. Their parents went to intervene, and when Winehouse's dad accused Blake of being the reason why she's in a downward spiral, naturally HIS dad protested. This resulted in papa Winehouse proceeding to try to choke the shit out of him. When her parents were on the verge of literally dragging her to the rehabilitation hospital she freaked out, with Blake & her running out of the intervention and taking off in a limo disappearing for a couple days.

That's some serious toxicity they have going on. The colleaugues I have that have been behind the scenes at her photo shoots and show appearances are completely weirded out by her husband and the toxic codependent vibe hanging in the air with them. At one photo shoot she (albeit very faintly) was cutting into her tummy 'I love Blake' or something to that effect, and rather than being alarmed, instead her husband very lovingly replied how he couldn't see it

This is pretty sad, and may eventually end up being a tragedy, folks. You know it's bad when a couple makes Courtney & Kirk or Whitney & Bobby look like model contestants for the Newlywed Game She seems to be close to her parents though, so hopefully they can get ahold of their child before she dies

god, this is depressing. i love a good sloppy trainwreck as much as the next rubbernecker, but this is beyond anything i can laugh at.

Pathetic.

I know, I don't think it's funny at all, it's rather tragic really. Classic case of Tragic Co-Dependency 101.

Kirk? Kirk? Who the hell is Kirk? LOL


K-U-R-T!


Kurt and Courtney had a better marriage than the media would have you believe.

Militant said:

Yep, it was apparently so nurturing and idyllic it inspired him to blow his brains out.

Anyhoo, pardon the typo, dear.

Militant said:

maybe it was a reference to courtney cox's brief fling with kirk cameron? i think they had an addiction to jolt cola and mentos while they were together.

Ottensen said:

did you know them?

Militant said:

Kirk

i'm guessing prince will be toning down the "i love amy" rhetoric a lil bit now

Didn't she just deny she was in rehab?

Lothan said:

she and her husband have been saying all kinds of stuff, all bullshit. i don't understand any of what's going on. i just hope she gets through it.

Anxiety said:

I hope she does, too but for them to come out and say the tour was cancelled due to exhaustion is just stupid.

Lothan said:

i'm sure they have to do that for legal reasons or whatnot. i think it's standard procedure in the biz. i mean, have you ever - EVER - heard anyone say "so-and-so cancelled their tour because they're a big junkie mess"? it's just not done.

Anxiety said:

I know of many shows cancelled here with no reason given.

The Singer has defended her husband after the couple were involved in a violent row which left them both bloodied and bruised. "Blake is the best man in the world. I was cutting myself after he found me in our room about to do drugs and rightly said I wasn't good enough for him. I lost it and he saved my life."

I hope she gets it all figured out because I'm really starting to feel the girl's music right about now. She's a light from my generation. I don't want her to go the Janis Joplin route.
