WINEHOUSE'S MUM: 'BLAKE IS AFTER HER MONEY'

Wednesday April 22,2009

AMY WINEHOUSE's estranged husband is eager to get his hands on the singer's vast fortune, according to the star's mother.

Blake Fielder-Civil filed for divorce from the Rehab hitmaker in January (09) on the grounds of adultery after seeing pictures of her cavorting with another man on holiday in St. Lucia.

A British tabloid revealed last week (12Apr09) that he is set to be a father after a brief fling with Gilleen Morris while they were being treated at the Phoenix Futures Rehab Centre in Sheffield, England in February (09).

The Back To Black hitmaker, who had hoped to reconcile with her husband, was left devastated by the news - and planned to pay him off with a £2.5 million settlement.

But Winehouse's mother Janis is convinced Fielder-Civil will demand an even bigger share of the singer's wealth in a divorce payout.

She tells Britain's Grazia magazine, "It sounds like his hands are outstretched not only for him, but for this person he's made pregnant. To me it seems like a case of 'lets get our hands out for the money'."

And she accuses Fielder-Civil of double standards over his behaviour, which has come as "a blow" to her daughter.

Janis adds, "Amy did everything she could to get back from St. Lucia to support him, and he had been doing that. It's a blow. He's divorcing her for adultery but what about this? I think it's a case of Blake's showing his true colours now."
