Amy Winehouse leaves the house; disaster ensues
Amy Winehouse left her London apartment for the first time in two weeks yesterday, and for her it was a typical night out: a few (dozen) pints, assault, and a lot of profanity.
The singer’s been laying low after an overnight stay at the hospital in late July. Winehouse was taken to the emergency room after suffering from what her spokeperson called an adverse reaction to medication. Her people blamed the treatment she’s undergoing to wean herself off hard drugs. Her father, Mitch Winehouse, later alleged that she’d been dosed with E by one of her “hangers-on.”
Whatever happened, it hasn’t stopped her bizarre and violent outbursts. On Thursday, Winehouse attended a fundraiser at a Camden pub with her god-daughter. As they were leaving, her bodyguards clashed with the paparazzi, and Winehouse naturally joined in the scuffle. She chucked a pint glass at a photographer, then allegedly slapped a bystander. The pictures below of Winehouse looking like a tanorexic skeleton pretty much sum up the story of her night:










Here’s hoping Amy Winehouse gets the help she needs soon.
