Earlier this week the news came out from Amy Wino’s father, Mitch, that his 24 going on 80 year old daughter had emphysema and could die if those pesky crack dealers didn’t stay away:
Mitch has urged her drug dealers and addict friends such as rocker Pete Doherty – who has been spending time with the 24-year-old since his release from prison last month – to stay away from her.
“I’m saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they’ve got to take responsibility. I don’t want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty either,” he said.
What a stern warning to drug dealers everywhere! Well anyway, turned out that Amy isn’t dying of emphysema as Dram-O-Dad had indicated. The very next day she left the hospital and enjoyed a cigarette on the way to the car. Take that lung disease!
I can’t imagine what Mitch Winehouse will come up with next, but I’m thinking it should be some sort of League of Extraordinarily Dramatic Dads, co-hosted by Michael Lohan.

Amy’s dad did what he did to try and save her from death. You, by making a fool of him, are effectively condoning the use of drugs and by saying stuff like ‘take that, lung disease’ you are sending out the wrong message about cigarettes to young people.

Wrong. He said she was dying from emphysema. She wasn’t.
He then told drug dealers, sternly, to “stay away”. That’s like telling cancer to “cut it out” and hoping it works. He should actually do something rather than letting his daughter kill herself.

he did what any loving father would do. sometimes lying can be used for good. he lied cause he didnt wanna see his daughter die of drug overdose or whatever… so he made up a story and tryed to scare her so she would stop. but then again shes the stupid one that got addicted in the first place.

It has been reported that Amy has been readmitted to hospital after an overdose of ‘medications’. True or false, or is this the results of her chronic addictions to Class ‘A’ drugs and alcohol. She may have already damaged her brain and other internal organs. Sadly, she like any chronic addict/alcoholic is in total denial about their condition.
Nobody can help the addicted person to get well (clean & sober) unless the addict themselves wants that help. Nobody can ‘Do this For Her’. She has to do it herself, there is help out there, but it appears that she does not want any help.
It may already be too late now for her. At the recent Chelmsford ‘V’ Festival, she sounded under the influence, and she has pulled out of another concert and is being threatened with legal action. She really appears to be on her last legs. All very sad for someone with talent! Her life is totally unmanageable that is for sure.
