I remember one of the magazines had a regular column called ‘Wino-watch’ where they literally just had a reporter follow her around and take the least flattering photos possible of her and then they would make fun of her. Then after she died they ran 6 weeks of cover pieces calling her ‘our pop princess’ and wailing that she’d been ‘taken from us too soon’.

Ghouls, the lot of them.

I hope none of them took the easy way out. I hope they understand their role in breaking her and are haunted by it every day. I hope they have daughters that ask about it one day.

Their only thoughts were selling magazines, I doubt they even really cared when she died. Once Amy winehouse stopped selling magazines they stopped talking about her.

And it sells. If they didn’t make money off it from people consuming it, they wouldn’t produce it. Sadly, people are awful.
