Amy Winehouse Rep Slams Rehab Rumors

By: Shannon Gossage

Winehouse, 24, entered a rehabilitation facility in January after a disturbing videotape of her allegedly smoking crack hit the Internet. On the same tape she reportedly said she had taken six Valium and was seen snorting cocaine and ecstasy. She voluntarily checked into the facility and remained there for two weeks before checking herself out. Lately, she has been spotted about looking terribly unhealthy. She reportedly has the contagious skin disease impetigo and also has cuts all over her arms. It has been rumored that she has resorted to self-mutilation.

Just recently it was reported that the songstress has recently been considering checking into another facility because she feels there are "too many temptations" in London. Winehouse’s rep slammed the reports and said, "Amy’s doing well. She is not going back to rehab at this time. The problem is that her face looks bad because of impetigo – it’s not a nice thing, but it’s not related to drugs. (Amy is) having time off, recording a bit at her home studios, about to go back into the studio properly and working towards her husband’s freedom."

Winehouse’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been behind bars since November on assault charges and for allegedly attempting to "pervert the course of justice." Fielder-Civil, 25, was arrested on November 8 for allegedly trying to manipulate a witness in his assault trial. He was charged with offering to pay off the barman that he was accused of assaulting last June to change his testimony. Winehouse and Fielder-Civil were married last May.
