Although I have no idea why anyone would brag about having sex with Amy Winehouse, some dude is doing exactly that. Amy’s former personal assistant, Alex Haines, gave an interview to News of the World, and discussed their brief hook up earlier this year while Amy’s husband Blake was still in prison.
Alex claimed Amy was a sex addict who spent over $7,000 a week on drugs, while living in squalor and suffering from bulimia.
He recalls: “When Amy woke up the first thing she’d ask was, ‘Where’s my pipe?’ She often made crack pipes by putting foil on top of plastic bottles and then burning the drug. While she got it going I made toast with butter and a cup of tea for her.
“It was her normal breakfast. When Amy ran out of the drug it she would cut the bottle in half and sit there on the floor completely wired, scraping the inside to get the residue with a screwdriver. She had to have a heroin and crack pipe near her or she freaked out. She’d keep taking drugs until she passed out. I reckon she spent £3,500 a week on them.”
Perhaps even worse than the drug habit was Amy’s yucky bulimia. Alex said Amy used his toothbrush to gag herself so she could barf up copious amounts of McDonalds fast food and chocolate bars.
Alex explains: “Amy suffered from bulimia, which is why she looked so thin. She would have a massive McDonalds and then throw it all up in the bathroom. I found my toothbrush covered in sick, and asked her about it.
“She went really sheepish but told me she suffered from it for a long time. Several times I went into her bathroom and saw sick all over the sink.
“She lived off Crunchie bars, up to 10 at a time, packets of Haribo sweets and bottles of orange Lucozade Sport. Her heroin problems made her crave sugar.”
Sounds hot, right? Well, it didn’t stop Alex from sleeping with her while she was recording with Mark Ronson last March.
Amy had been working on her third album following Fielder Civil’s jailing for GBH and perverting the course of justice. Alex recalls: “It was 6am. I woke up looked around and there she was. She pounced on me. We made love. Afterwards I said, ‘This is gonna make things difficult,’ but she replied, ‘No it’s not’.
“We became wrapped up in one another. When I stayed at hers I would be asleep downstairs and there would be this little girl on the bed crawling towards me waking me up for sex.” But Amy could never get Blake off her mind. “She would go on about him and her being together forever straight after we made love. I sat there in disbelief. We had few bust-ups over it.”
Amy ended the affair shortly after she confessed to Blake. According to Alex, so was so racked with guilt, “she cut herself with scissors from shoulder to wrist.” He said Amy told him she loved him, but Blake told her not to see him anymore.
Bummer they couldn’t make it last. They would have made some really fug babies.
