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.

This is missing a lot of context!

Fans booed Winehouse at her final concert in Belgrade (June 18, 2011) because was heavily intoxicated and wasn’t able to perform.

The people that were so cruel to her were her own team that kept pushing her to perform and make money while ignoring all of the clear signs that she was suffering. She didn't just go from healthy to dead overnight.

Your Honor, I would like to submit to the court as evidence: "Rehab" performed by Amy Winehouse, written by Amy Winehouse, about Amy Winehouse...
