Amy Winehouse: Bloodied and Begging

When you think of a multi-platinum recording artist you think of wealth, charm, and charisma. But Amy Winehouse is completely rewiring that stereotype.

Last night, the “Rehab” singer was spotted leaving the Good Mixer pub in London, England, the latest stop on her evening’s pub crawl. And the uber-successful singer, whose hand was all bloodied up, couldn’t seem to find the money to buy cigarettes, therefore she begged the paparazzi for a smoke.

Over the weekend, the Back to Black songstress was involved in yet another controversial incident - she reportedly attacked a man Saturday night at a local bar.

Wayne Lindsay, the victim, told press, “She was in front of me at the bar and suddenly turned and walloped me three times across the face. It really stung. I couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t said a word to her or touched her. I was just drinking a pint with my friends.”

He continued, “There was no obvious reason for her flying off the handle, but she clearly thought I’d done something. She was wild. She just flipped. It was as if she had voices in her head. Amy stormed out immediately afterwards. I was really angry she thought she could get away with it. But I let it go. I’m not an aggressive person. Amy was in no fit state to put up a fight. She looked out of it. It was as if she was in another land. She looked really unwell and quite frail. She seems unable to control herself.”
