This is getting really difficult to keep track of.
Amy Winehouse is apparently not in rehab now, despite various reports circulating on Tuesday that she’s finally seeking treatment.
“Amy is not in rehab,” says a rep. “She was seeing a doctor who she regularly sees as part of her ongoing treatment. It was a regular appointment which she attends all the time. She has not checked in overnight.”
The rep, who would not comment on the nature of the treatment, said Amy Winehouse is “under supervision for both physical and all health issues.”
This is due to an incident last month in which the singer was photographed barefoot and wearing only a bra outside her London home.
Amy Winehouse canceled her tour in November.
“The tour was very hard on her … there wasn’t [a doctor] on the road with her or anything, but she was not sleeping, on a tour bus, up late, driving from city to city, and it was hard for her,” according to the rep.
“She saw a doctor in London when she was here for the shows, and it was the doctor who said, ‘You’re not in a condition to continue touring.'”
The rehab reports followed the posting on its Web site by the U.K.’s The Sun of a shocking video allegedly showing the singer smoking crack.
Everyone close to Amy Winehouse agrees that she needs help.
“It’s really sad. Everyone knows she needs help — even she knows she needs help,” a music-business friend of Winehouse’s told People Tuesday. “The video is horrible but I hope it forces her to do something.”
Whether the tape will finally prompt the “Rehab” and “You Know I’m No Good” songstress to rehabilitate herself remains to be seen.
“I’ve lost count of how many times rehab has come up. You can’t bring it up to her. She has to want to try and she doesn’t seem to,” the friend added.
The videotaped crack smoking incident was allegedly recorded hours before Amy Winehouse attended a court hearing for husband Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, who is awaiting trial on assault and conspiracy charges.
“People are tiptoeing around her because of [Blake Fielder-Civil]. It’s like someone died,” the friend said. “She’s so crazy about him. When he first went to jail she couldn’t function. She didn’t know what to do with herself.”
Amy Winehouse’s label, Universal Records, said in a statement, “We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems.”
