Amy Winehouse film becomes 2nd biggest documentary at UK box office

The team behind the recently-released Amy Winehouse documentary have spoken out following Mitch Winehouse’s persistent claims that the film does not accurately portray the final years of his daughter’s life.

“It was a massive honour to have been given the chance to tell her story”.

“She wasn’t a happy, well-adjusted young woman, you know, and I find it disrespectful to imply I was some Machiavellian puppet master”. “It was quite an inert period”.

Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch has stated this week that the singer believed she was pregnant at “some stage” before she died.

Amy Winehouse “thought she was pregnant” before she died.

Amy began seeing Reg Traviss shortly after her divorce from Blake Fielder-Civil, who many claimed was a hugely negative force in the late singer’s life. Amy was engaged to Reg Traviss at the time and, as well as the couple seriously planning on getting married, Mitch has now insisted that the couple were going to have a baby together. “They were going to get married”.

They are incensed by what they claim is the “misleading and downright inaccurate” portrayal of her in Asif Kapadia’s movie, Amy.

He said: “I feel like my own legacy as far as Amy goes is that I ruined this unbelievable person”.

In the film, they believe Mitch is painted as an absent father who blocked Amy going to rehab.

A family source said Reg was “clearly painting a positive picture of the last few years of Amy’s life, which doesn’t fit their narrative”.
