I dont blame Blake i didnt and i wont he was addicted too!!! And she chooses to take all the d...gs By herself im a sober& clean addict myself As much as i love her im a BIG fan but she had an addicted personality BOTH Blake AND Amy!
I actually feel sorry for him, he described it perfectly when he said her death has been his cross to bare, he has suffered with addiction and all the blame can’t be put on him. Amy wouldn’t have wanted him to blamed. Her father is a lot to blame for how Amy suffered but he never seems to take one bit of responsibility 😢
“When it comes to Blake, I’ve decided never to speak badly about anyone,” said Janis Winehouse, the singer’s mother. “I know it was about love and I don’t think you can judge when it comes to love. Love does the walking and talking. I believe the relationship between Amy and Blake was intimate and genuine.”
I was in a relationship with an addict from 2017-2019. During that time, I spiraled into my own addiction. Addicts aren't able to help themselves out of the abyss, much less anyone else. I completely understand when he explains how he didn't have anyone looking out for him either. I'm glad to see he made it through to the other side and doing okay. Sometimes there is no "bad guy." Sometmes two broken people find each other and are the worse for it. I've been sober since July 2022.
Congratulations Elizabeth on your 2yrs ❤ it’s so hard to pull someone you love an adore from the ‘strong arms of addiction’ (it holds that person so tightly, the addict thinks there’s no other way out) 🥺🥲 I sadly lost my precious 18yr old son to addiction 10yrs ago last June😢I’ve always thought I didn’t fight hard enough to keep him alive, you name it & I done it 😢 I done everything & anything possible in this world to keep him alive 😢I tell him every day that “I’m sorry son I couldn’t save your life, please forgive me” 💔🙏🏻 I know as a Mother, I will forever feel like this. 💔
Amy already had an addictive personality before she met Blake. Blake was one of her addictions, from which stemmed some of the best song writing of all time. I felt it was courageous of him to walk away from the relationship after receiving counseling in prison and realising it was toxic co-dependancy. Just wish Amy lived long enough to find a relationship that could have nurtured her and to realise her dream of having a baby. All so sad. But, I don’t blame Blake.
Some women/men don't want a nurturing relationship. Some people crave the conflict. Amy seems like she was one of those people who was easily bored and looked to "trouble" for stimulation.
@@danielamondschein because he's gotten better. He wasn't fully to blame for what happened to amy. She was already into drugs and started with an alcohol problem before they met
nah that’s an evil smile from someone who’s lying. let’s not forget he took drugs to her when she was in the hospital recovering from an overdose. he’s truly EVIL. his voice and teeth make it evident that he’s not sober.
@GABRIELGON1 you do realise after years of drug abuse that people's looks and voice will always be that way due to the damage. And let's not forget amy was already a druggie and an alcoholic before she met blake. When he was put in prison he got clean and didn't speak to her again and she still fell back into addiction. So let's not blame him for everything. Amy is as much to blame as he is
It’s just sad, for the both of them. Because I’m sure ‘clean’ he’s probably a decent guy. And I don’t doubt he loved her. They just weren’t the right people for each other at that time.
@@giorgioladd8720 read the comment again….no one said he was an upstanding citizen when he was using. Most people in addiction aren’t making decent choices. Amy didn’t either. But “clean and sober”, he’s probably a decent guy.
I knew Blake after he split with Amy. The only reason I’m commenting is because of some of the horrible comments here, although I’m very glad to read all the nice ones. Blake had a lot of flaws when I knew him, he was arrogant and cocky, but it was so clearly a facade to cover his insecurities. He loved Amy and she loved him, even after their divorce they spoke for hours on the phone and he was so devastated when she died he nearly killed himself in his effort to numb the pain. Yes, he’s done some awful things due to his addiction, but that kind of regret and guilt only makes it so much harder to get clean and he’s managed it in spite of that; now he has to live every day knowing the things he did without anything to numb those feelings of guilt anymore. I didn’t particularly like Blake when I knew him, but I’m thrilled to see him doing well and I wish him all the best.
I don’t know him but I know enough to see a pattern they had a lot of issues and because of that brought out the worst in each other he doesn’t deserve the blame and you can tell he’s crippled from it if it wasn’t Blake it would be someone else and he’s handling it with such grace that a lot of people couldn’t.
I can see that this interview was hard for him to speak out. At the beginning I think he struggled with pain and sadness.. He seems vulnerable and careful. Also intense and hard questions were asked. I think this was a hard, but honest interview.
Your statement is sensible, as well as so genuine. Sadly, there are no winners or losers with these tragically poignant life moments. Maybe all that is left over are a deep sense of apathy, regret and challenging life experiences which hopefully provide essential lessons in life.
Amy would be proud of this man she shared her journey with...no angel or villian in this story...he presented himself so well in this difficult interview...
@@Wizzy678 Boy, you have missed her message completely. Come down sometime from your 'god-like' perch - and you'll see the toothpicks you mistook for pillars.
I knew Blake around 1999/2000 when he was a hairdresser in Kentish Town. He was very well mannered and full of positive boyish and youthful energy, almost naive in a way. Very well spoken. Very interested in others, curious about the world. He never once appeared to be interested in the fame game or being the centre of attention in any way. He played his favourite CD all the time "Ash's Nu Clear Sounds" every time I went there. Camden was party central back in the late 90's early 2000's, and he would have started partying hard at that time. He was very impressionable and didn't seem to have a lot of self confidence.
@@colinpadley1897 to be really honest, I haven't seen him since 1999 and don't know anything about Winehouse's music or antics as it's not my bag. So don't actually know anything, just saying that's my run in with him 25 years ago
@@colinpadley1897I don't think it's fair to fully blame him because at the end of the day Amy was a grown adult who chose to start doing drugs out of her own will he didn't physically force it on her So as much as he failed to lead her in a positive direction it's still not like he's fully responsible for her death
@@colinpadley1897 a 27 year old is old enough to make there own decisions on if they want to do drugs or not no one forces u😂 people always look for someone to blame she never even died of drug od she died of alcohol poisoning so what has it really got to do with drugs ?
I hope Blake reads these comments here…so much empathy and compassion - it’s like we’ve all grown up and understand better. Hindsight is an amazing thing…just a pity some don’t get the luxury of learning from it.… Blake seems like a genuinely nice guy, he deserves continued peace & happiness. RIP Amy x
So pleased to be able to see the true Blake. He's genuine & nice. Very brave to expose himself to the many critics. Congratulations deserved, he won the battle over drugs. That was possibly the hardest thing he's ever had to do.
People seem to magically forget that Blake was struggling and ill too… yes he played a role in everything but you have to give credit where credit is due and the fact he’s clean and speaking about his time with Amy is incredible x
you're forgetting that he also asked for half of "his" inheritance upon Amy's death and clearly was only with her for the cash, praying on a fragile woman and bringing her heroine in the hospital upon overdosing
@@SopheeHonestly, with the way that marriage law works in the US, he was entitled to money. She brought in millions the two years that they were married, he was the muse behind one of the biggest albums in history, and she committed adultery. In some states, if you commit adultery, you automatically get half of what was earned during the years you were married.
@@fxtxhx trauma is the root cause of addiction , mental health and everything in between. Trauma occurring before 7 years old will result in addiction and death. Amy was well established in her addiction when she met this young man. Granted they created a co dependant relationship but that goes with the territory. Very sad actually.
I have addiction issues and no one makes you become addicted to anything! They might not help matters but it’s on us to take responsibility for our issues and actions.
@@domjoseph2007 feel bad saying this now!! But I think blame is a waste of time. I think we live and die by the sword and the only way to go for us is zero substance 😔
He was young and he was a hipster who experimented with drugs and got caught up deep, I’m sure he was fighting his own demons as was Amy. Whatever she used, she did so of her own volition. Just because you’re in love with a user doesn’t mean you have to become a user. That said- I am a huge fan of Amy’s and am saddened deeply by her passing… she was incredibly talented
Blake was never to blame. And I believe Amy would never want him to feel responsible. She loved him - flaws and all. They were two addictive personalities trying to find escapism from reality. And their individual reasons for doing so are their own.
@@danielamondschein but its not true we are the ones who make our decissions daily and she wanted to take drugs because she chose to. she already had a drinking addiction before back to black . she had an addictive disorder maybe it was bpd ?
Wow.. I feel embarrassed for the guy! The interviewers were very curt, judgmental & kinda rude. BFC on the other hand was well spoken, sensible, introspective and yeah… civil. They were both so young!
Yeah I know he’s choosing to go on these interviews but I cringed at a bbc one I saw where the host said, in such a condescending way, ‘you were a complete mess weren’t you.’ I think they feel they have to sound curt so it doesn’t seem like they’re sympathising with him too much maybe?
… and they kept cutting him off and trying to put words in his mind, as if they thought he wasn’t capable of speaking 😡 they’re vile, especially that woman
I don't understand how her dad could point a finger, he was there too. "And if my daddy thinks I'm fine", where did those lyrics come from. She wrote and sang from the heart. I pulled a daughter out of the grips of addition, it almost killed me, but she is here. It's a horrible disease, it grips the whole family. It becomes a battle to not let it win the child I gave life too.
This! Her dad is narcissistic for this alone! I will never forget the first time I heard rehab and thought surely this person isn’t really saying their on drugs and their daddy thinks it’s fine? That was my entire thought process I just couldn’t believe it!
Sometimes it's hard to. He never loved Amy. He made her sing a racist song on camera, swore on her life he wasn't filming it, then the film of it somehow ended up in the hands of the NEWS OF THE WORLD, that's just one Blake thing.
He literally introduce Amy to hard drugs & that was her downfall aside her eating disorder, he literally left Amy to go back to his ex Girlfriend & that Devastated Amy thinking she will never see him again, plus Blake Charge Amy 150 pound for a kiss or to even get near her, he was taking advantage of Amy’s money. Was it all worth it? How can anybody forgive him.
Two addicts fell in love. One survived. Everyone has negative opinions of Blake. He simply is a good person now trying his best. He's sorry and no one can blame him for her addiction. I'm an addict. I take full responsibility for what i did to myself.
Amy's brother stated that bulimia was to blame for her death. That combined with alcohol was lethal. She had that long before Blake. Further her father and others pushed her into performing against her will many times. She was an artist but they wanted her to be a superstar for their own benefit. There are many superstars that are not artists. Two very different species.
I thought I saw an interview with her where she said she never really wanted fame, but she just wanted to sing. It was all too much for a sensitive soul. ❤
Let's not forget she loved him. She was a woman who was strong and capable of making her own choices. Addiction and mental health is something I feel we will never truly understand. Mistakes are made by EVERYONE.
It's easy to stick a label on people nowadays. Everyone is an individual with their own struggles. We are all sinners. Only one person can save us. Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen@@danielamondschein
@@danielamondscheinbut she had a drinking problem in the frank era read her Dads book he said she started drinking because she would get anxious before her shows in the frank era so she would drink to “calm her anxiety down “
He's come across very well spoken, accepted responsibility for his mistakes and regrets...she was clean from drugs 2 years prior to her death..sadly alcohol amongst other struggles took her life..the pressures of the paparazzi, record company for constantly wanting her to perform - all factors to take into consideration for the escapism that alcohol provides many people.Multiple people/factors played a part in the untimely death of Amy. Nobody is accountable or responsible for this, may she rest and hopefully people can learn from this.
Unfortunately she didn’t have only alcohol in her system but a high dose of metadone. This last one is very dangerous and still proscribed even if it has been proved that first dies not really work with cravings and secondly it is a very dangerous substance especially if mixed with alcohol that gives double of the addiction. Unfortunately we are so dumb to think that because it is legal, it means it is safe. A corrupted system
Blake seems a lovely guy he came over well we were all young at one time we all made mistakes & learnt from them it’s how we grow I wish him well & for him to continue growing in strength
Am I the only one who is kind of happy that he is doing better? Amy would be so happy for him 🥺 sometimes life is not fair... Good for him... And RIP to the great Amy 💖
I'm happy for him. I don't blame him at all. They were both addicts and it is wrong to put all of that on him. There were other people in her life that had to see what was going on. It seems as though he was the scapegoat and it's far past time for that to stop. I hope he has found some peace now ❤
Feel sorry him still getting all the hate and blame now is wrong they was both young dealing with fame and addiction very young, hope he finds closure with her family he seems like a good bloke
I do have empathy for him. Being in recovery and trying to navigate the past which he constantly has to relive must be hard. Amy and Blake’s were both addicts and addicted to toxic situations. Sensitive souls bless them. We all have to take responsibility for ourselves. God bless him.
He seems like a genuine guy. Someone who made many mistakes in their life like so many of us. It’s never as simple as someone just getting another person into drugs. Especially addicted to drugs.
I mean, that’s the hand you’re dealt with dealing with morning show hosts. Either fake niceties and platitudes or insane condescension or passive aggression. They seem the stock that don’t even believe addiction is a complex impulse and mental vulnerability. Latent mental illness or trauma informing the habit or the Epigenetic factor behind it. They see it as a sinister and selfish choice made in a completely lucid state (which obviously is not the case) and you gleefully invite others into the mess with you.
Blake handled this interview very well. Well spoken en polite. He makes no excuses and like he said, he had no one to look out for him either. I wish the interviewers let him finish. Its annoying that they cut him off and/or spoke over him.
I think it's pretty clear that Amy had issues before she met Blake. If people still question her ex-husband why does no one question her parents, particularly her Dad. RIP Amy
Yes I do. I was an addict and I grew up with addicts. Amy and Blake would have been attracted to each other partly because they would have sensed they were the same (i.e: addicts). He didnt make her an addict. @@JimIrvine-t8r
Absolute nonsense. I used to be an addict (I'm not saying to what) and when I met my partner, within a year he was an addict too. Luckily we made it out and haven't touched anything in 10 years!
🎉So true. It's not fair to crucify Blake. I'm sure this man has lived with and through so many strong emotions. It is time to let precious Amy rest. I have to mention her father. He gave his daughter his entire heart. I hope this movie is tasteful so not to upset him. 🎉
If Amy loved him.thats ok with me not ideal situation ,however better to have loved and lost,then never to love ,,its time we celebrate her greatness,and allow him to live on with grace .
Blake is the only person that took accountability for his actions and the only person that took multiple bullets and criticism. And I tip my hat to him for that alone because it takes guts to admit your mistakes. But what people seem to forget is that the were a lot of people around Amy that were enablers in her cycle. So called "friends". No one helped Amy. They were equally benefiting from her addiction but everyone is silent. 🦗 Crickets 🦗 Blaming Blake for everything is ridiculous when she had a whole team around her. Just watching that last Serbia concert is all you need to know about her life, her demons but ultimately the people that let her down.
It seem everybody forgot that it wasn't the drugs that killed Amy but the alcohol phisicaly.. but truly it was her tormented soul she could not bare the fame, the death of her Nan, the pain that came from her breakup with Blake.. She accomplished for what she came for. She became a legend and everybody knows her for her and for her voice. She was one of a kind rest in peace Angel
It's absurd that some people blame this guy for Amy's death. Amy passed away from alcohol intoxication, and when she died, they were no longer together, and she was dating another guy, so how could he cause her death?
She would have gotten them from someone else. When you want something, you get it and do it. I was introduced to it but I didn't want it and didn't do it. Doesn't mean I didn't do other kinds. People do what they want when they want to drown out the noise in their head or the trauma of life. Some come out of it on the other side and some might not.
He probably wasn't the cause of the addiction, but he definitely contributed to her downfall and enabled her drug addiction and I think he tried to keep her down because he was down. I wished she had the strength to leave and stay gone but its hard when someone keeps you pumped up on drugs, and emotionally oppressed.
Reminder for everyone: It is on legal records that Blake used to beat Amy senseless. Biting her, spitting on her, pulling her hair, punching her in the face. Do not pity domestic abusers.
@@peanutssss Right? What is going on here? Blake is an ex con with a long history of domestic violence abuse and other crimes. He's a gutter rat who introduced Amy to the drugs which eventually killed her. And people are saying, "naw bless, leave him alone". Absolutely absurd!
Honestly as much as I love Amy, I think she came from a place of hurt and not feeling complete. She was young, naive and found someone that made her feel whole. They both were young and probably had different struggles of their own. We can't blame Blake. As much as we wish Amy was still here, she was already losing a battle she had within herself for a long time. Congrats to Blake for changing his life around, and RIP to Amy. We still miss you and will never forget you 💗
Amy’s dad has A LOT to answer for and does not get grilled like this ever. Hes currently suing 2 of Amy’s best friends, all he cared about was the money Amy was making, and that’s all he still cares about.
Amy was a woman with mental health issues, but she was successful and an adult who made her own decisions. Neither of them were clearly in the right mind during their relationship, so exasperated each others addictions during that time. Blake needs to be able to move in this. You all know if she continued to live, the newspapers would have been ripping into her probably even now.
I really feel for Blake. He has the weight of everyone’s blame and I’m sure he blames himself to a great degree. He was struggling also. I wish him all the best and hope he has the strength to stay sober.
Distasteful? HE was the one that introduced her to hard drugs. He made videos of her when she was wasted and sold them to a newspaper. She was nothing but a cash cow to him. Just so unfair that SHE was the one that died.
I was just thinking the same thing. He couldn’t really give a clear answer and she’s like “hey what about the h?” Like bruh… let the guy figure it out, he’s probably never been on TV like this in god knows how long
Cringey. How they asked him if he was ok at the end wanting to put a neat little bow on the interview and situation. He is clearly not...also when they tried to open a dialogue between him and Mitch Winehouse...so cheesey and inappropriate. Would be good to hear a longer podcast or something...I nearly died for the guy, the interviewers were as subtle as a bull in a china shop
You're absolutely right. This only shows how nothing had changed about the media how they deal with these subjects. They made everything worse but only he kinda became the scapegoat. And still is. But life is not only black and white.
In the words of Bob Dylan - "Don't criticise what you can't understand". Thankfully, I haven't suffered from a drug addiction and feel very grateful and lucky in life for that. Nobody has a right to judge others when they are at their most fragile. I think that he was so brave to do that interview. Respecting all sides of the situation with love and light is the fairest way. Rest in peace Amy.
Blake is brave that's all I have to say. Like Kurt and Courtney and Sid and Nancy, Amy and Blake chose each other. Amy's story should be told as a series not a movie. I can't wait to see the movie. I feel so bad that Blake always takes the fall. I think he's a sweet person.
It’s lovely to hear him talk- you can’t get a sense of a person from photos alone. He is very well spoken, genuine and intelligent. Emotional intelligence is high in this guy ❤
Blake was never to blame. Amy and Blake were probably suffering from BPD and they spurred each other on in good ways and in bad ways. I believe Amy would have hated the way Blake was portrayed in the film, even though it's sympathetic, because to her he was perfect. That's all that matters. Anyway, it's great to see him looking well and speaking so eloquently.
That’s what I’m thinking this whole time; how do we know how she felt about him towards the end?? How she felt about all of this in general! Sure she loved Blake, but I feel like the multiple times that he hurt Amy, he had to have known what he was doing..there can’t be excuses every time!
Everyone deserves a second chance. Besides, nobody is completely bad or good. He was a human being, he failed, he fell and he put himself back on track. Toxic love is love at the end of the day. And as much as they hurt each other in the past and dragged themselves into addictions and vices, he's still here looking back retrospectively. He's got regret and guilt, and remembering Amy and facing up reality, giving interviews, and in a way, taking responsibility for what he did wrong or what he could've changed in their relationship. I can see a different person, coming clean in his feelings and keeping Amy alive in his memories.
Addicts are a burden.. Blake should have kept away.. he is guilty .. he knows it, Blake you saw her fall and you knew you couldn’t help stop it ..but you didn’t help to stop the unraveling so you are guilty.
I believe in their love story. Blake presented so well in this interview as hard as it was. I feel he did indeed get his message across that their love wasn’t only based on drug addiction. I do understand. Relationships don’t always start out in trouble. ❤❤
Its quite easy to see his sincerity, genuine care and accepting a level of responsibility. He's been through his own wringer and i fir one am happy he's still here to offer a connection to when Amy was alive.
I used to feel just like everyone else about him until I read Janis Winehouse's book. She talks about how Blake, whilst being an addict himself really tried to get Amy help. Unfortunately, her addiction was stronger than anything and I feel that 100% being a recovering addict myself.
I always hated him for abandoning Amy when she needed him the most. But quite recently I now understand that he too was also an addict and Amy was already an addict due to other personal things in her own life that was out of Blake's control.
As an addict in recovery myself (and also a HUGE Amy fan). I hold no ill will to Blake. He didn't know what he was doing back then. I was in rehab in Clapham when when Amy died, and it affected me greatly. I was also going through a very similar thing in regards to a very toxic using relationship. but I was still head over heels in love and made my own choices. Addiction is a cruel, and doesn't discriminate. So hats off to Blake for getting clean. Amy, Back To Black was the soundtrack to my heartache also...you are loved and missed x
21 years clean and sober here and I gotta say that what I got from the movie is that Amy didn’t get sober for herself, she did it to get him back, that right there is a sure fire way to know it won’t stick. I wish they had both had people looking out for them for real! RIP Amy, you’re missed.
I think He comes across very well in this interview .. he seems like a down to earth ,genuine and sincere guy ,.. after watching the film many people will assume that he is the same bad guy the film portrays him as but i think we can all feel a lot of compassion for him after watching this ..and he deserves respect for doing the interview ... it cant be easy talking about the past ... and the death of a loved one is one of the hardest things a human can go through ..best wishes and Take care Blake X
These reporters are drama diggers. Addiction is more than being introduced to a substance. It is self medication for the user to cope with past trauma and pain inflicted be others or chemical imbalance in the brain.
Abandoment is deep wound. Every liltle girl needs a dad and Mitch was her wound from her childhood. Blake was messed up like her dad, thats why they were attracked to each other. We usualy marry our parents becouse of unresolved trauma. Wounded souls ❤
Say what you like about Blake but he does come across really genuine, respectful and articulate in interviews and doesn’t deflect from any of his past, if only politicians could come across in this way they may get more respect from the general public.
life experiences like neglecting from a very young age and emotional not present parents between other issues can make people fall in this type of behaviour because it forms our personality. Everything affects us to form part of our personality, for that reason it is very important which surrounds us even if it is a blood family. I might have some mistakes, this isn't my mother language and I have problems with dyslexia.
Glad to hear he is in recovery. They were respectful to him. That was kind. I hold the father and family more responsible but really, addiction is a beast of its own. RIP Amy. You are missed.
It breaks my heart to see these interviewers to talk to Blake with such distain and judgement. You can clearly see he has worked hard to repent his sins of the past. When the stuff went down with Amy, they were just kids. People make mistakes and you can really hear it in his voice when he describes how much love he had for Amy. Bless him.❤
‘I had no one looking out for me either’ a very profound quote that people seem to forget
I dont blame Blake i didnt and i wont he was addicted too!!! And she chooses to take all the d...gs By herself im a sober& clean addict myself
As much as i love her im a BIG fan but she had an addicted personality BOTH
Blake AND Amy!
Correct ❤
I thought so too, shame she just skipped over it.
I actually feel sorry for him, he described it perfectly when he said her death has been his cross to bare, he has suffered with addiction and all the blame can’t be put on him. Amy wouldn’t have wanted him to blamed. Her father is a lot to blame for how Amy suffered but he never seems to take one bit of responsibility 😢
100%
8:45 He looks so happy that someone finally asked him.
That's something. ❤
He smiled because he knew it was over!
Yes it can't be easy being married to a beautiful talented woman , and then to lose her
Yes
“When it comes to Blake, I’ve decided never to speak badly about anyone,” said Janis Winehouse, the singer’s mother. “I know it was about love and I don’t think you can judge when it comes to love. Love does the walking and talking. I believe the relationship between Amy and Blake was intimate and genuine.”
I was in a relationship with an addict from 2017-2019. During that time, I spiraled into my own addiction. Addicts aren't able to help themselves out of the abyss, much less anyone else. I completely understand when he explains how he didn't have anyone looking out for him either. I'm glad to see he made it through to the other side and doing okay. Sometimes there is no "bad guy." Sometmes two broken people find each other and are the worse for it. I've been sober since July 2022.
Respect! ❤
Congrats on your sobriety!
You are absolutely right! They were toxic for each other.
Congratulations Elizabeth on your 2yrs ❤
it’s so hard to pull someone you love an adore from the ‘strong arms of addiction’ (it holds that person so tightly, the addict thinks there’s no other way out) 🥺🥲
I sadly lost my precious 18yr old son to addiction 10yrs ago last June😢I’ve always thought I didn’t fight hard enough to keep him alive, you name it & I done it 😢 I done everything & anything possible in this world to keep him alive 😢I tell him every day that “I’m sorry son I couldn’t save your life, please forgive me” 💔🙏🏻 I know as a Mother, I will forever feel like this. 💔
Congrats on sobriety.
Amy already had an addictive personality before she met Blake. Blake was one of her addictions, from which stemmed some of the best song writing of all time. I felt it was courageous of him to walk away from the relationship after receiving counseling in prison and realising it was toxic co-dependancy. Just wish Amy lived long enough to find a relationship that could have nurtured her and to realise her dream of having a baby. All so sad. But, I don’t blame Blake.
Completely agree
I agree too
Well put.
Well said.
Some women/men don't want a nurturing relationship. Some people crave the conflict. Amy seems like she was one of those people who was easily bored and looked to "trouble" for stimulation.
The proudness on his face at the end when he admitted he's doing well and moved to a better place in life...warms my heart ❤
Why?
@@danielamondschein because he's gotten better. He wasn't fully to blame for what happened to amy. She was already into drugs and started with an alcohol problem before they met

@GABRIELGON1 you do realise after years of drug abuse that people's looks and voice will always be that way due to the damage.
And let's not forget amy was already a druggie and an alcoholic before she met blake. When he was put in prison he got clean and didn't speak to her again and she still fell back into addiction.
So let's not blame him for everything. Amy is as much to blame as he is
Yes, his skin looks better he fixed his upper teeth.
It’s just sad, for the both of them. Because I’m sure ‘clean’ he’s probably a decent guy. And I don’t doubt he loved her. They just weren’t the right people for each other at that time.
Totally agree.. two young damaged people who were lovely and sadly they clashed although so deeply in love.. heartbreaking
Yes it is and was very sad but didn't Amy die of alcoholic poisoning? I had always thought it was a drug overdose 😢😢😢😢
Ehm.. no, in those times he was far from being a decent person
@@giorgioladd8720 read the comment again….no one said he was an upstanding citizen when he was using. Most people in addiction aren’t making decent choices. Amy didn’t either. But “clean and sober”, he’s probably a decent guy.

I knew Blake after he split with Amy. The only reason I’m commenting is because of some of the horrible comments here, although I’m very glad to read all the nice ones. Blake had a lot of flaws when I knew him, he was arrogant and cocky, but it was so clearly a facade to cover his insecurities. He loved Amy and she loved him, even after their divorce they spoke for hours on the phone and he was so devastated when she died he nearly killed himself in his effort to numb the pain. Yes, he’s done some awful things due to his addiction, but that kind of regret and guilt only makes it so much harder to get clean and he’s managed it in spite of that; now he has to live every day knowing the things he did without anything to numb those feelings of guilt anymore. I didn’t particularly like Blake when I knew him, but I’m thrilled to see him doing well and I wish him all the best.
I don’t know him but I know enough to see a pattern they had a lot of issues and because of that brought out the worst in each other he doesn’t deserve the blame and you can tell he’s crippled from it if it wasn’t Blake it would be someone else and he’s handling it with such grace that a lot of people couldn’t.
I can see that this interview was hard for him to speak out. At the beginning I think he struggled with pain and sadness.. He seems vulnerable and careful. Also intense and hard questions were asked. I think this was a hard, but honest interview.
@@365foxxy true
You have to forgive.
Your statement is sensible, as well as so genuine. Sadly, there are no winners or losers with these tragically poignant life moments. Maybe all that is left over are a deep sense of apathy, regret and challenging life experiences which hopefully provide essential lessons in life.
Amy would be proud of this man she shared her journey with...no angel or villian in this story...he presented himself so well in this difficult interview...
100%.
society has fallen so much that ppl are praising ex junkies
So well said. Couldn't agree more. Thanks for articulating this sentiment.
@@Wizzy678 Boy, you have missed her message completely. Come down sometime from your 'god-like' perch - and you'll see the toothpicks you mistook for pillars.
@@Wizzy678OF COURSE society should praise EX "junkies". Keyword "EX".
I knew Blake around 1999/2000 when he was a hairdresser in Kentish Town. He was very well mannered and full of positive boyish and youthful energy, almost naive in a way. Very well spoken. Very interested in others, curious about the world. He never once appeared to be interested in the fame game or being the centre of attention in any way. He played his favourite CD all the time "Ash's Nu Clear Sounds" every time I went there. Camden was party central back in the late 90's early 2000's, and he would have started partying hard at that time. He was very impressionable and didn't seem to have a lot of self confidence.
Sounds like you're excusing his behaviour, awful man, he should have her death on his conscience, but doubt he has.
@@colinpadley1897 to be really honest, I haven't seen him since 1999 and don't know anything about Winehouse's music or antics as it's not my bag. So don't actually know anything, just saying that's my run in with him 25 years ago
@@colinpadley1897oh shut up. You don’t know either of them on a personal level so you can’t comment and push the blame onto him! It’s so unfair
@@colinpadley1897I don't think it's fair to fully blame him because at the end of the day Amy was a grown adult who chose to start doing drugs out of her own will he didn't physically force it on her
So as much as he failed to lead her in a positive direction it's still not like he's fully responsible for her death
@@colinpadley1897 a 27 year old is old enough to make there own decisions on if they want to do drugs or not no one forces u😂 people always look for someone to blame she never even died of drug od she died of alcohol poisoning so what has it really got to do with drugs ?
I hope Blake reads these comments here…so much empathy and compassion - it’s like we’ve all grown up and understand better. Hindsight is an amazing thing…just a pity some don’t get the luxury of learning from it.… Blake seems like a genuinely nice guy, he deserves continued peace & happiness.
RIP Amy x
Right on Cldnt agree more 💯💯🙏🙏🙏
💯❤️
Absolutely. I'm glad Blake is in a good place now.
So pleased to be able to see the true Blake. He's genuine & nice. Very brave to expose himself to the many critics. Congratulations deserved, he won the battle over drugs. That was possibly the hardest thing he's ever had to do.
He is a narcissist.
People seem to magically forget that Blake was struggling and ill too… yes he played a role in everything but you have to give credit where credit is due and the fact he’s clean and speaking about his time with Amy is incredible x
I totally agree ❤
you're forgetting that he also asked for half of "his" inheritance upon Amy's death and clearly was only with her for the cash, praying on a fragile woman and bringing her heroine in the hospital upon overdosing
@@Sophee i wonder if you feel the same disgust when divorced ladies or widows of famous men ask for their share of money
@@SopheeHonestly, with the way that marriage law works in the US, he was entitled to money. She brought in millions the two years that they were married, he was the muse behind one of the biggest albums in history, and she committed adultery. In some states, if you commit adultery, you automatically get half of what was earned during the years you were married.
@@mandyjuelzdo they work that way in the UK too? He also did the same things
Once people understand trauma then they will understand addiction a little more. Amy’s issues were established long before.
Amen!
This!
This!
100% this is what I’ve been saying
@@fxtxhx trauma is the root cause of addiction , mental health and everything in between. Trauma occurring before 7 years old will result in addiction and death. Amy was well established in her addiction when she met this young man. Granted they created a co dependant relationship but that goes with the territory. Very sad actually.
I have addiction issues and no one makes you become addicted to anything! They might not help matters but it’s on us to take responsibility for our issues and actions.

@@athuilbettina2839 as an English speaker I got … I think it starts with the family?
He was young and he was a hipster who experimented with drugs and got caught up deep, I’m sure he was fighting his own demons as was Amy. Whatever she used, she did so of her own volition. Just because you’re in love with a user doesn’t mean you have to become a user. That said- I am a huge fan of Amy’s and am saddened deeply by her passing… she was incredibly talented
Blake was never to blame. And I believe Amy would never want him to feel responsible. She loved him - flaws and all. They were two addictive personalities trying to find escapism from reality. And their individual reasons for doing so are their own.
Best comment so far!
💯💯💯 perfectly said
He is a narcissist so he is to blame. Scientific facts.
@@danielamondschein but its not true we are the ones who make our decissions daily and she wanted to take drugs because she chose to. she already had a drinking addiction before back to black . she had an addictive disorder maybe it was bpd ?
Wow.. I feel embarrassed for the guy! The interviewers were very curt, judgmental & kinda rude. BFC on the other hand was well spoken, sensible, introspective and yeah… civil. They were both so young!
Yeah I know he’s choosing to go on these interviews but I cringed at a bbc one I saw where the host said, in such a condescending way, ‘you were a complete mess weren’t you.’ I think they feel they have to sound curt so it doesn’t seem like they’re sympathising with him too much maybe?
Also I do wonder if there’s an unsaid annoyance that he’s still here and clean and she’s not and then somehow that lands on him.
Yes, I agree Adil more than Kate
… and they kept cutting him off and trying to put words in his mind, as if they thought he wasn’t capable of speaking 😡 they’re vile, especially that woman
💯
I don't understand how her dad could point a finger, he was there too. "And if my daddy thinks I'm fine", where did those lyrics come from. She wrote and sang from the heart. I pulled a daughter out of the grips of addition, it almost killed me, but she is here. It's a horrible disease, it grips the whole family. It becomes a battle to not let it win the child I gave life too.
Addiction isn't a disease, well done for helping your daughter, but why did your daughter do drugs in the first place?
She would’ve been better off without her father in her life! And she may have still been with us today.
The roots of all are not the drugs. There is some mental health battle behind it as someone said above
Not all drug addictions stem from family trauma, some are just started in fun unfortunately @user-ku3mv8mz2r
This! Her dad is narcissistic for this alone! I will never forget the first time I heard rehab and thought surely this person isn’t really saying their on drugs and their daddy thinks it’s fine? That was my entire thought process I just couldn’t believe it!
Time to leave this guy alone. Amy died from alcohol, not drugs and he was in jail at the time. Leave him be.
Sometimes it's hard to. He never loved Amy. He made her sing a racist song on camera, swore on her life he wasn't filming it, then the film of it somehow ended up in the hands of the NEWS OF THE WORLD, that's just one Blake thing.
He's definitely trash
He literally introduce Amy to hard drugs & that was her downfall aside her eating disorder, he literally left Amy to go back to his ex Girlfriend & that Devastated Amy thinking she will never see him again, plus Blake Charge Amy 150 pound for a kiss or to even get near her, he was taking advantage of Amy’s money. Was it all worth it? How can anybody forgive him.
I agree ❤❤❤❤❤
Two addicts fell in love. One survived. Everyone has negative opinions of Blake. He simply is a good person now trying his best. He's sorry and no one can blame him for her addiction. I'm an addict. I take full responsibility for what i did to myself.
Amy's brother stated that bulimia was to blame for her death. That combined with alcohol was lethal. She had that long before Blake. Further her father and others pushed her into performing against her will many times. She was an artist but they wanted her to be a superstar for their own benefit. There are many superstars that are not artists. Two very different species.
Finally somenoe who said it!
I thought I saw an interview with her where she said she never really wanted fame, but she just wanted to sing. It was all too much for a sensitive soul. ❤
Let's not forget she loved him. She was a woman who was strong and capable of making her own choices. Addiction and mental health is something I feel we will never truly understand. Mistakes are made by EVERYONE.
He is a narcissist. In fact, all three of them are.
It's easy to stick a label on people nowadays. Everyone is an individual with their own struggles. We are all sinners. Only one person can save us. Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen@@danielamondschein
She loved him more than anything and when they broke up she couldn't cope and drank herself to death
@@nuriiibadala7506 yes
@@danielamondscheinbut she had a drinking problem in the frank era read her Dads book he said she started drinking because she would get anxious before her shows in the frank era so she would drink to “calm her anxiety down “
He's come across very well spoken, accepted responsibility for his mistakes and regrets...she was clean from drugs 2 years prior to her death..sadly alcohol amongst other struggles took her life..the pressures of the paparazzi, record company for constantly wanting her to perform - all factors to take into consideration for the escapism that alcohol provides many people.Multiple people/factors played a part in the untimely death of Amy. Nobody is accountable or responsible for this, may she rest and hopefully people can learn from this.
Unfortunately she didn’t have only alcohol in her system but a high dose of metadone. This last one is very dangerous and still proscribed even if it has been proved that first dies not really work with cravings and secondly it is a very dangerous substance especially if mixed with alcohol that gives double of the addiction. Unfortunately we are so dumb to think that because it is legal, it means it is safe. A corrupted system

Am I the only one who is kind of happy that he is doing better? Amy would be so happy for him 🥺 sometimes life is not fair... Good for him... And RIP to the great Amy 💖
I'm happy for him. I don't blame him at all. They were both addicts and it is wrong to put all of that on him. There were other people in her life that had to see what was going on. It seems as though he was the scapegoat and it's far past time for that to stop. I hope he has found some peace now ❤
Yes she would. She would be very happy to see him clean like this.
I'm happy for him. ❤
Feel sorry him still getting all the hate and blame now is wrong they was both young dealing with fame and addiction very young, hope he finds closure with her family he seems like a good bloke
He seems so lovely. It’s impossible for one person to turn another into an addict. I hope he has found some peace. ❤
I do have empathy for him. Being in recovery and trying to navigate the past which he constantly has to relive must be hard. Amy and Blake’s were both addicts and addicted to toxic situations. Sensitive souls bless them. We all have to take responsibility for ourselves. God bless him.
He seems like a genuine guy. Someone who made many mistakes in their life like so many of us. It’s never as simple as someone just getting another person into drugs. Especially addicted to drugs.
He is faking being genuine. All three of them are.
These interviewers are rude. Blake is trying his hardest here.
I agree, Amy chose this man. To basically blame him when he was an addict himself is so low
They were annoying. Cutting across him the whole interview.
I mean, that’s the hand you’re dealt with dealing with morning show hosts. Either fake niceties and platitudes or insane condescension or passive aggression.
They seem the stock that don’t even believe addiction is a complex impulse and mental vulnerability. Latent mental illness or trauma informing the habit or the Epigenetic factor behind it. They see it as a sinister and selfish choice made in a completely lucid state (which obviously is not the case) and you gleefully invite others into the mess with you.
It's really the UK "dialect/ vernacular" kicking in tbh. A lot of this was on par with any similar American interview.
It must've taken a lot for Blake to come on and be interviewed. Glad he's doing better now.
Blake handled this interview very well. Well spoken en polite. He makes no excuses and like he said, he had no one to look out for him either. I wish the interviewers let him finish. Its annoying that they cut him off and/or spoke over him.
'I had no one looking out for me either' - speaks volumes.
It's true they were both equal human beings
I think it's pretty clear that Amy had issues before she met Blake. If people still question her ex-husband why does no one question her parents, particularly her Dad.
RIP Amy
Totally agree. After all, Mitch is the root of all her initial problems!
I agree with you her father played a big role in what happened not only Blake
I said this,he forced her on stage
100%
What did he do@@siouxsiesleuth3589
Anyone who thinks one person can make another person an addict doesnt understand addiction.
But having an enabler in someone's life, who has addictive tendencies is/was a recipe for disaster!
No you don’t understand addiction
Yes I do. I was an addict and I grew up with addicts. Amy and Blake would have been attracted to each other partly because they would have sensed they were the same (i.e: addicts). He didnt make her an addict. @@JimIrvine-t8r
Absolute nonsense. I used to be an addict (I'm not saying to what) and when I met my partner, within a year he was an addict too. Luckily we made it out and haven't touched anything in 10 years!

To be honest everyone knows what drugs does but move on. Amy Winehouse died long time ago. Let him live in peace and rip amy
🎉So true. It's not fair to crucify Blake. I'm sure this man has lived with and through so many strong emotions. It is time to let precious Amy rest. I have to mention her father. He gave his daughter his entire heart. I hope this movie is tasteful so not to upset him. 🎉
Her father was here only to take her money @@wisdomseeker3362
He composed himself very well. Must have been hard for them both
If Amy loved him.thats ok with me not ideal situation ,however better to have loved and lost,then never to love ,,its time we celebrate her greatness,and allow him to live on with grace .
Blake is the only person that took accountability for his actions and the only person that took multiple bullets and criticism. And I tip my hat to him for that alone because it takes guts to admit your mistakes.
But what people seem to forget is that the were a lot of people around Amy that were enablers in her cycle. So called "friends". No one helped Amy. They were equally benefiting from her addiction but everyone is silent. 🦗 Crickets 🦗
Blaming Blake for everything is ridiculous when she had a whole team around her. Just watching that last Serbia concert is all you need to know about her life, her demons but ultimately the people that let her down.
True. Hate him anyways
Yes!!!
I don't like how he's being pushed into answering obvious questions. Shame on the presenters and the ITV.
the nature of TV and media.
Interrupting and over-talking him throughout the interview trying to elicit particular answers.
💯💯💯💯💯
He seems to have grown over the past few years. In more ways than just his age. He came across well.
That poor kid was in pain. I'm so sorry and hope he has happiness in the future.
Everyone is in pain - doesn't mean we get to selfishly destroy ourselves and pass that pain onto those closest to us.
It seem everybody forgot that it wasn't the drugs that killed Amy but the alcohol phisicaly.. but truly it was her tormented soul she could not bare the fame, the death of her Nan, the pain that came from her breakup with Blake.. She accomplished for what she came for. She became a legend and everybody knows her for her and for her voice. She was one of a kind rest in peace Angel
It's absurd that some people blame this guy for Amy's death. Amy passed away from alcohol intoxication, and when she died, they were no longer together, and she was dating another guy, so how could he cause her death?
He introduced her to the drugs that’s why everyone hates him….watch the documentary movie
He’s the one who introduced her to the drugs this is why I never forgive him
@@JoeLisleppl getting mad over drugs, brother she was using gate way drugs before him
She hung around in a heavy drug crowd when she met him,He didnt introduce her to drugs at all,he was in the same scene around camden
She would have gotten them from someone else. When you want something, you get it and do it. I was introduced to it but I didn't want it and didn't do it. Doesn't mean I didn't do other kinds. People do what they want when they want to drown out the noise in their head or the trauma of life. Some come out of it on the other side and some might not.
He probably wasn't the cause of the addiction, but he definitely contributed to her downfall and enabled her drug addiction and I think he tried to keep her down because he was down. I wished she had the strength to leave and stay gone but its hard when someone keeps you pumped up on drugs, and emotionally oppressed.
The only comment with sense!
🙏
Leave him alone. They were two broken young people who were in love.
RIP Amy so missed.
Reminder for everyone: It is on legal records that Blake used to beat Amy senseless. Biting her, spitting on her, pulling her hair, punching her in the face. Do not pity domestic abusers.

You invite someone to talk to and you talk over your guest.
Yes, I felt the same. They continued to interrupt and over-talk him throughout the interview in an effort to elicit particular answers.
Drug addicts are usually never well respected in society sad truth
Honestly as much as I love Amy, I think she came from a place of hurt and not feeling complete. She was young, naive and found someone that made her feel whole. They both were young and probably had different struggles of their own. We can't blame Blake. As much as we wish Amy was still here, she was already losing a battle she had within herself for a long time. Congrats to Blake for changing his life around, and RIP to Amy. We still miss you and will never forget you 💗
Oh my days. These presenters. Let the guy talk. It was money that attracted the wrong people who weren't real friends

I agree.
It's over...Let it go... He lost her... Isn't that enough
Amy was a woman with mental health issues, but she was successful and an adult who made her own decisions. Neither of them were clearly in the right mind during their relationship, so exasperated each others addictions during that time. Blake needs to be able to move in this. You all know if she continued to live, the newspapers would have been ripping into her probably even now.
She went to her father and asked HIM shouldl go to rehab and dad said no. Its time for HIM to take responsibility
Accountability Time
Leave him alone, I'm sure he's been through enough of his own problems and Amy wasn't an angel, she was human.
I really feel for Blake. He has the weight of everyone’s blame and I’m sure he blames himself to a great degree. He was struggling also. I wish him all the best and hope he has the strength to stay sober.
He is a narcissist.
I don’t like this interview. I think they are grilling him way too much. Distasteful
Constantly interrupting him too 🤨
Same here, the tone and angle of questions were out of line, it was good that he said "I was young and there was no one to look after me either"
Distasteful? HE was the one that introduced her to hard drugs. He made videos of her when she was wasted and sold them to a newspaper. She was nothing but a cash cow to him. Just so unfair that SHE was the one that died.

He responds so well to some deep and pointed questions...genuine and thoughtful.
Cringey. How they asked him if he was ok at the end wanting to put a neat little bow on the interview and situation. He is clearly not...also when they tried to open a dialogue between him and Mitch Winehouse...so cheesey and inappropriate. Would be good to hear a longer podcast or something...I nearly died for the guy, the interviewers were as subtle as a bull in a china shop
You're absolutely right. This only shows how nothing had changed about the media how they deal with these subjects. They made everything worse but only he kinda became the scapegoat. And still is. But life is not only black and white.
In the words of Bob Dylan - "Don't criticise what you can't understand". Thankfully, I haven't suffered from a drug addiction and feel very grateful and lucky in life for that. Nobody has a right to judge others when they are at their most fragile.
I think that he was so brave to do that interview. Respecting all sides of the situation with love and light is the fairest way. Rest in peace Amy.
Blake is brave that's all I have to say. Like Kurt and Courtney and Sid and Nancy, Amy and Blake chose each other.
Amy's story should be told as a series not a movie. I can't wait to see the movie. I feel so bad that Blake always takes the fall. I think he's a sweet person.
Bad interviewers, poor bloke being grilled on live TV and they keep interrupting him , let him speak 🙄 they obviously know nothing of addiction either
It’s lovely to hear him talk- you can’t get a sense of a person from photos alone. He is very well spoken, genuine and intelligent. Emotional intelligence is high in this guy ❤
thanks to God 🥲🥰😇❤🩹❤
The way media exploits tragedy is disgusting
It’s like blood to a vampire mate
Blake was never to blame. Amy and Blake were probably suffering from BPD and they spurred each other on in good ways and in bad ways.
I believe Amy would have hated the way Blake was portrayed in the film, even though it's sympathetic, because to her he was perfect. That's all that matters.
Anyway, it's great to see him looking well and speaking so eloquently.
I don’t know about bpd? Codependency yes
Why do these interviewers interrupt just when he's about to say something interesting?
Terrible interview !! Leave him alone ,Kate Garraway and Adel Ray are awful and judgmental 😢
And they just kept interrupting him and talking over him! Terrible.
Agreed 😡 they’re vile
Last interview i saw with Blake he did not seem this happy, it makes my heart feel lighter knowing he's doing better
Just listen to Wake Up Alone, Black to Black, see how much sadness he caused her. He's not innocent at either.
That’s what I’m thinking this whole time; how do we know how she felt about him towards the end?? How she felt about all of this in general! Sure she loved Blake, but I feel like the multiple times that he hurt Amy, he had to have known what he was doing..there can’t be excuses every time!
He was nobody without her
Everyone deserves a second chance. Besides, nobody is completely bad or good. He was a human being, he failed, he fell and he put himself back on track. Toxic love is love at the end of the day. And as much as they hurt each other in the past and dragged themselves into addictions and vices, he's still here looking back retrospectively. He's got regret and guilt, and remembering Amy and facing up reality, giving interviews, and in a way, taking responsibility for what he did wrong or what he could've changed in their relationship. I can see a different person, coming clean in his feelings and keeping Amy alive in his memories.
This man deserves peace. He seems very sincere and they loved each other so much.Amy would not have liked this kind of trial against him
Addicts are a burden.. Blake should have kept away.. he is guilty .. he knows it, Blake you saw her fall and you knew you couldn’t help stop it ..but you didn’t help to stop the unraveling so you are guilty.
I believe in their love story. Blake presented so well in this interview as hard as it was. I feel he did indeed get his message across that their love wasn’t only based on drug addiction. I do understand. Relationships don’t always start out in trouble. ❤❤
He seems like a lovely gentleman, very reflective and thoughtful and he inspired some of the greatest songs of all time, huge respect to him
I will never understand how people blame one persons addiction on another!
Its quite easy to see his sincerity, genuine care and accepting a level of responsibility. He's been through his own wringer and i fir one am happy he's still here to offer a connection to when Amy was alive.
I used to feel just like everyone else about him until I read Janis Winehouse's book. She talks about how Blake, whilst being an addict himself really tried to get Amy help. Unfortunately, her addiction was stronger than anything and I feel that 100% being a recovering addict myself.
Just so sad the most sensitive creative people leave this world so young Rest in peace Amy ❤
I always hated him for abandoning Amy when she needed him the most. But quite recently I now understand that he too was also an addict and Amy was already an addict due to other personal things in her own life that was out of Blake's control.
As an addict in recovery myself (and also a HUGE Amy fan). I hold no ill will to Blake. He didn't know what he was doing back then. I was in rehab in Clapham when when Amy died, and it affected me greatly. I was also going through a very similar thing in regards to a very toxic using relationship. but I was still head over heels in love and made my own choices. Addiction is a cruel, and doesn't discriminate. So hats off to Blake for getting clean. Amy, Back To Black was the soundtrack to my heartache also...you are loved and missed x
I loved her music, she was such a talent. If she only knew how much people loved her.
21 years clean and sober here and I gotta say that what I got from the movie is that Amy didn’t get sober for herself, she did it to get him back, that right there is a sure fire way to know it won’t stick. I wish they had both had people looking out for them for real! RIP Amy, you’re missed.
So softly spoken. I am so glad I saw her live in Oxfordshire.
I think He comes across very well in this interview .. he seems like a down to earth ,genuine and sincere guy ,.. after watching the film many people will assume that he is the same bad guy the film portrays him as but i think we can all feel a lot of compassion for him after watching this ..and he deserves respect for doing the interview ... it cant be easy talking about the past ... and the death of a loved one is one of the hardest things a human can go through ..best wishes and Take care Blake X
These reporters are drama diggers. Addiction is more than being introduced to a substance. It is self medication for the user to cope with past trauma and pain inflicted be others or chemical imbalance in the brain.
Abandoment is deep wound. Every liltle girl needs a dad and Mitch was her wound from her childhood. Blake was messed up like her dad, thats why they were attracked to each other. We usualy marry our parents becouse of unresolved trauma. Wounded souls ❤
Blakey seems a good guy ,the reason Amy loved him.We need to hear his side of the story now in a book ,has he been stopped from doing this ?
Say what you like about Blake but he does come across really genuine, respectful and articulate in interviews and doesn’t deflect from any of his past, if only politicians could come across in this way they may get more respect from the general public.
Nobody makes someone addicted to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling etc... Amy choses her own path.....
life experiences like neglecting from a very young age and emotional not present parents between other issues can make people fall in this type of behaviour because it forms our personality. Everything affects us to form part of our personality, for that reason it is very important which surrounds us even if it is a blood family.
I might have some mistakes, this isn't my mother language and I have problems with dyslexia.
Just got back from the cinema, cried my eyes out.
“I had nobody looking out for me either” rang home, it’s so easy to judge and blame!
Glad to hear he is in recovery. They were respectful to him. That was kind. I hold the father and family more responsible but really, addiction is a beast of its own. RIP Amy. You are missed.
Good interview , it’s sad about Amy but also sad what Blake was going through , it takes 2 tango and can’t be solely blamed for what happened
It breaks my heart to see these interviewers to talk to Blake with such distain and judgement. You can clearly see he has worked hard to repent his sins of the past. When the stuff went down with Amy, they were just kids. People make mistakes and you can really hear it in his voice when he describes how much love he had for Amy. Bless him.❤
He seems clever, quiet and rather sweet. Bless his heart. I hope he has a happy and peaceful life ❤
He is a narcissist.
Narcissist people know how to run game
