Amy was found dead in her London home last Saturday and, while toxicology results are still pending, not few are those who have already made up their mind: if she hadn’t met Blake, she would have never become an addict and, most likely than not, die from it.
However, Georgette Fielder-Civil is not of the same opinion – and she tells the Daily Mail she’s not saying this just because Blake is her son.She insists that the singer took drugs long before she met, fell in love and later married Blake. In other words, she would have still been a troubled soul even without Blake.
Nevertheless, she doesn’t deny that her son’s influence on Amy was great and that he, in part, contributed to her life spinning out of control the way it did.
“I am not asking anyone to say ‘poor Blake’ – he made his choices and he has to live with them. I’m not trying to defend his behavior and I know him for what he is: he’s an addict and he has done some terrible things,” she tells the Mail.
“He feels enormous grief and responsibility for some of the things that have happened, as well he should. But I also think he’s been made the fall guy for what happened to Amy, when the truth is, in fact, far more complicated,” Georgette adds.
“We all played our part in what happened to her. I have had to look deep into my heart and wonder if I could have helped, done things differently,” she adds.
Despite the heavy drug use, the violent, bloody rows and the hateful things they’d say to each other when fighting, Georgette says Blake and Amy were – and remained to her death – deeply and sincerely in love.
“Yes, they were passionate, and they fought, but they were also just a young couple deeply in love and I have lots of ordinary memories which I treasure,” she says, adding that Amy and Blake kept in touch until the day before her death.
