Amy Winehouse’s father has revealed that his troubled daughter is still suffering from bulimia.
In an interview on British TV show This Morning, he says the singer originally began using hard drugs after getting married to husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
London’s Metro newspaper reports that Mitch Winehouse, a cab driver told the show’s hosts Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield, that: ‘She’s not drinking as heavily now as she was then actually but there are other problems.’
‘The other problem is the bulimia which is still apparent, although she’s put on about a stone in weight but it’s still affecting her health and there are problems with substance abuse as well,’ he said.
‘She’s eating, although the eating disorder hasn’t been fully addressed. If you look at the photographs of her in August and see her now you will see a marked change for the better. But it’s a change for the better, it isn’t a cure.’
He also claimed that the ‘Rehab’ singer’s drug problems arose after she married Fielder-Civil, 25, back in May, adding: ‘She was a complete opponent of hard drugs in fact she got up and said she couldn’t understand why people in the music industry took hard drugs and that changed about 6 months ago when she got married to Blake.’
‘And I’m not saying its Blake’s fault, what I’m saying is Amy’s responsible for her own actions, however it’s a fact that the hard drugs coincided with their marriage.’
He added ‘It’s apparent in her music that she’s smoked dope for quite a while, probably from the age of 16 or 17, perhaps even earlier.’
He also spoke about Amy’s recent reported drugs overdose: ‘It wasn’t an overdose it was a seizure, which in fact is worse.’
He also spoke about seeing the still pictures of his daughter running from a London hotel bloodied in the middle of the night, saying: ‘Those particular shots are very difficult to cope with. But there’s a different story behind the headlines. Some of the things which have been reported in the press have been completely inaccurate and sometimes they’re lies.’
