Winehouse: You're a No-Good Racist?
Steve Grantiz/WireImages.com
Here's a performance that won't make Amy Winehouse's greatest-hits album.
British tabloid News of the World has posted a video that appears to show the Grammy-winning "Rehab" crooner in a reputed drug den and singing a racist song—footage so shocking it could threaten her career.
According to the newspaper, the repulsive scenes were filmed by husband Blake Fielder-Civil in May 2007, when the couple were on their honeymoon after eloping to Miami.
Winehouse and a female pal giggle at the camera as Fielder-Civil urges them to sing a crude racist chant set to the kiddie tune "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"—all the while promising them that he really isn't filming.
"Can we have a singsong of it?" he asks.
"Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips!" they chime. "And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!"
As Winehouse sings, she intentionally slants her eyes in full-on Asian stereotyping. What looks to be drug accoutrements sit on a table beside her.
News of the World said it received the bombshell video from a former Winehouse pal out to expose the negative influence Fielder-Civil has had over her.
An additional video posted on the tab's site shows Winehouse passed out on a couch in broad daylight covered by a blanket, along with several still photos depicting her in various states of disarray, including with what appears to be drug paraphernalia.
A rep for Winehouse could not be reached for immediate comment. But according to British media reports, when news of the video containing her racist refrain surfaced Sunday morning, Winehouse issued a mea culpa to paparazzi camped outside her home:
"I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going," she said.
