Mr. Amy Winehouse Gets Out Of Jail, Goes Straight To Rehab

Amy Winehouse, herself, is still on the loose
Thursday, November 6th, 2008

After spending almost a year behind bars after being convicted of attempting to pervert justice in the UK, Amy Winehouse’s hubby Blake Fielder-Civil has been released from incarceration one month early on the condition that he spend a month in a rehab program. Amy, who has been going in and out of the hospital in the past few weeks, is currently out of the hospital and has been seen terrorizing the streets of London with a black make-up tear-stained face, lashing out at anyone who gets near her — oh, it must be Thursday:


Amy Winehouse’s husband was released from jail yesterday after almost a year behind bars for his part in a vicious assault on a pub landlord. Blake Fielder-Civil left Edmonds Hill prison in Suffolk at 8am looking pale and with his arms covered in red scars. The 26-year-old, who has fought a long battle with drug addiction, was not due to be released until next month but was freed after agreeing to attend rehab. Miss Winehouse herself was not there to meet him, leading to rumours of a rift between the pair. Winehouse, who left hospital on Monday after receiving ongoing treatment for a ‘chest infection’, looked far from jubilant as she emerged from the residence at 4pm this afternoon with make-up smeared across her face. She appeared to be in an agitated state, lunging at a photographer stationed outside her home shouting: “Who’s first? Who wants some?”. She refused to comment on her husband’s release. After attending a drugs and alcohol clinic Winehouse was pictured clutching a prescription and falling into a cab as she returned home, her face streaked with dirt and tears. A couple of hours later her father Mitch turned up at her flat and not long after a pizza delivery arrived. After they had eaten no-nonsense Mitch shepherded his subdued daughter to his cab. The singer appeared to have showered and to have changed her clothes after her father’s arrival. However, she was back to her erratic ways later in the evening, sucking on a male friend’s knuckle before later passing out in the back of a cab. Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months in prison in July after assaulting barman James King, 36, outside a pub in East London and plotting to bribe him with £200,000 not to testify. He had already spent nine months in custody after his arrest in November last year. After leaving the prison, Fielder-Civil said: “Now all I want to do is see Amy. It’s tough inside – bloody horrible, but I’m out and that’s all that matters. It’s brilliant.” He added: “It’s welcome to the free world for me and Barack Obama.”

It remains to be seen if Blake has fully rehabilitated his criminal ways but a stint in rehab sounds like a cushy way to finish out one’s jail sentence. Amy, on the other hand, seriously needs to be locked away somewhere … seriously:


Whether or not there is a future for these two also remains to be seen. We’ll have to wait and see what happens after Blake gets released from rehab … you know, if Amy lives that long.

Blake Fielder-Civil Sentenced To 27 Months In Prison

Perverting justice is serious biz
Monday, July 21st, 2008

Amy Wineshouse’s hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, who has been incarcerated for the last 9 months was sentenced today to serve a total of 27 months in prison for first assaulting a man and then attempting to pervert justice by trying to bribe the man to evade prosecution for his crime. I understand that Amy was not in the courthouse to lend her support today despite her constant pleas for her husband’s release. Here is Blake’s mugshot, released today, and a rundown of his sentencing:


Amy Winehouse’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been jailed for 27 months for beating up a pub landlord and trying to bribe him to avoid court. Fielder-Civil, 26, pleaded guilty last month to assaulting James King with a friend, Michael Brown, and perverting the course of justice by attempting to bribe the victim. With Brown and two other men, Fielder-Civil tried to pay off Mr King in an attempt to have the trial abandoned. Judge David Radford told Fielder-Civil he had behaved in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful” way. Fielder-Civil has already served around nine months on remand so he could be free in four-and-a-half months if he behaves himself in prison. Winehouse herself was not in court to support her husband as he was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in east London for trying to evade jail for attacking a pub landlord. Jocelyn Ledwood, prosecuting, had told the court that Brown was kicked out of the Macbeth pub in Hoxton, on June 20 2006 and returned with Fielder-Civil at closing time. Brown punched Mr King, 36, in the face, knocking him to the floor. She went on: “Mr Brown and Mr Fielder-Civil then proceeded to punch and kick him while he was on the ground trapped between the double doors of the pub.” The assault left Mr King with a broken nose and cheekbone and the pair were arrested and due to go on trial when Fielder-Civil received a text message saying: “What happened at court? We were thinking about getting Amy to pay (him) off.” The trial was delayed and Anthony Kelly, 26, and James Kennedy, 20, were engaged to broker the pay-off, the court heard. Kelly and Kennedy then tried to sell footage of the incident to a newspaper reporter who was told Mr King would be paid off with £200,000 and that “ultimately the money would come from Miss Winehouse”. Jeremy Dein QC, for Fielder-Civil, urged the judge to suspend his sentence or sentence him to the nine months he has already served. He said Fielder-Civil “was of exemplary good character”. He went on: “This has been a nightmare scenario, not just for him but for his wife and his family.” He was interrupted by Judge David Radford, who said: “No previous convictions rather than exemplary good character, if what I read about him and the use of drugs is true.”

LOL! Yeah, it sounds like the judge in this case wasn’t really interested in hearing any bullshizz from Blake’s attorney. Alas, it appears that poor Amy Winehouse will have to endure the coming months without her husband by her side. She’s managed to make it 9 months without him, I’m sure he’ll manage the rest of the way just fine.
