Amy Winehouse's dad is now saying that his cheating on Amy's mother when Amy was a kid might have caused her to turn out to be a crazy drug addict. People Magazine says:
Mitch Winehouse, 57, reveals in a new interview with the BBC that soon after Amy's birth in 1983, he began cheating on wife Janis with a co-worker, Jane, who became his second wife in 1996. Amy and her brother Alex (born in 1980) knew about the long-running affair.
"The children used to call Jane 'Daddy's work wife,' " Winehouse says on the program One Life: Rock Star Parents, to be aired next week.
He said he should have left the marriage sooner, and when he finally did Amy "definitely became a lot more independent. ... I thought Amy was over [the affair] pretty quickly – in fact it felt at the time Amy felt no effect at all. Maybe she could not articulate it in words, but she certainly did it with music."
He says her angry song, "What It Is About Men," refers to his behavior.
"It is easy for me to say it is my fault, and that had I been a better parent this would not have happened. But who knows whether it would or not?" he says."
The kids used to call their dad's mistress "Daddy's work wife." How messed up is that? Seriously. No wonder Amy is so messed up in the head. What did the dad do? Did he say... "Now kids, although I'm married to your mommy and I put up with her crap in the house with you guys, when daddy goes to work, he does the nasty with a secretary at work."
Okay, I don't know if this "Jane" was actually a secretary, but everytime I think about chicks at work, I just picture really hot secretary-types with tight mini-skirts and really stylish, trampy-looking eyeglasses. Ahh, that's amazing... probably my favorite look on a woman. The only problem is, in my office here, our secretary is the plainest, most boring-looking chick I've seen in my life. Honestly, would it kill her to pop open a few buttons on her blouse and throw on mini-skirt or one of those pencil skirts... or at the very least, a plunging V-Neck! Even Simon Cowell wears those for God's sake! All I'm saying is, enough with the pant-suits, dammit! You look like a man! Or Hillary Clinton. I don't know which is worse!
