Amy Winehouse's Family Condemn Documentary 'Amy'

Darpan News Desk IANS, 27 Apr, 2015 12:02 PM
    Late Singer Amy Winehouse's family has claimed that the forthcoming documentary "Amy" is "misleading" and said that the allegations made are "unfounded and unbalanced".
     
    "The Winehouse family would like to disassociate themselves from the forthcoming film about their much missed and beloved Amy... They feel that the film is a missed opportunity to celebrate her life and talent and that it is both misleading and contains some basic untruths.
     
    "There are specific allegations made against family and management that are unfounded and unbalanced," a spokesperson said in a statement.
     
    The documentary -- which will be premiered at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival next month -- does a "disservice" to those suffering from addiction, the family claimed, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
     
    "Fundamentally, the Winehouse family believes that the film does a disservice to individuals and families suffering from the complicated affliction of addiction. By misunderstanding the condition and its treatment, the film suggests for instance that not enough was done for Amy, that her family and management pushed her into performing or did not do enough to help her," the spokesperson added.
