It's no secret that Mitch Winehouse disapproves of the latest Asif Kapadia-directed film, Amy, which details the Back to Black singer's harsh rise to fame and ultimate downfall. While appearing on the Australian TV show, Weekend Sunrise, Winehouse's father revealed a few secrets concerning his daughter's personal life: she was considering marrying her longtime partner, Reg Traviss, and that she may have been pregnant shortly before her 2011 death.
During the interview shown early on August 16, Mitch Winehouse discussed his gripe with the documentary titled Amy before the conversation took an interesting turn. Winehouse admitted that Amy was considering tying the knot with Reg Traviss, her counterpart of two years. He then continued to divulge that the singer thought she could have been pregnant with Traviss' child in the midst of their relationship although he did not offer up an exact time line.
"She was with Reg, they were going to get married. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but she thought she was pregnant at some stage," Mitch stated. He continued to comment on his anger about the film, pinning it on the fact that important parts of the Rehab singer's life were left out.
"None of Amy's staff are in the film. None of the people she made music with are in the film. Her boyfriend Reg isn't in the film. Why isn't Reg in the film? Because they don't want to show Amy as having a normal relationship. Amy was surrounded by her friends and her family all her life. To give the impression she was on her own is frankly criminal," he said.
"I can't say too much because we are in the middle of a legal battle", he continued, "I don't know whether I mentioned this to you before, but we are making a film which is going to address all these issues."
Accurate or not, the film concerning the singer who died of alcohol poisoning on July 23, 2011 has seen wide-spread praise.
