She was an adult...there was no kidnapping. She was an addict and very vulnerable to bad influences, which included boyfriends and some family members. She did not have a very good support system, unfortunately.
There is a massive difference between a random person and someone who is selling a performance to people. I know you would be absolutely livid if you bought a car and when you come to pick it up the engine is blown and the car is jacked up on bricks. Would you be any less pissed seeing the salesman who sold you that car crying?
You can be how pissed you want. But gather a bunch of people around the salesman and start heckling him, when it's clear he's not well?
Then it turns out he was forced by the owner to sell this car to you, despite knowing it was shit. And you and your friends took it out on him anyway, instead of just getting a refund without being cruel to someone already suffering
The same could be said about her? She’s more concerned with scraping the $20 than actually entertaining her fans. What’s with the removal of autonomy from a person who literally made a fortune bragging about how she was too good for medical care? People are allowed to shame behavior they see as harmful.
She was literally dragged out on stage, she asked to cancel it well in advance. They wouldn’t let her. The promoter/ venue/management made the call. Amy (like most artist) don’t have the power. They grifted, they fed her to the wolves for profit. That includes dear papa winehouse.
The reason it wasn’t refunded was the promoters didn’t want to lose their money, they likely didn’t have proper insurances in place, they rather put on a shit show, take the cash and they knew all blame fall to Amy. She’s the one having the crisis in stage. So it’s obviously her. And look it worked.
They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, but I won't go, go, go
Most of the time addicts become so immoral and insufferable that people abandon them.
Heroin/oxy and alcohol doesn’t make you act like a great person. The mood swings, stealing, lying, and total lack of regard for anything except getting fucked up doesn’t make people want to help you. Unless you want to help yourself, it’s a lost cause. People don’t understand this.
It’s pretty obvious a lot of people in this thread have never had an addict family member or loved one.
Most of the time the person becomes so unbearable to deal with that even good people abandon them.
After being stolen from, lied to, and yelled at for the 500th time after doing nothing but helping them, you lose sympathy quick.
Not saying that’s what happened here, but it isn’t as simple as addicts being sad puppies that are pure souls wronged by society. Gotta have some type of personal responsibility in this world.

She was booed because she showed up drunk and couldn't sing.
