Amy Winehouse fires alleged lover

29 May 2008  

Singer AMY WINEHOUSE has fired the man she was accused of having an affair with - after ALEX HAINES was allegedly caught on camera taking drugs.
 
The Back To Black hitmaker was rumoured to have broken off her marriage to jailed Blake Fielder-Civil after falling for her manager's assistant, Haines.
 
Winehouse emphatically denied the rumours and subsequently cut ties with the 24-year-old.
 
Haines has since allegedly been caught on camera smoking drugs, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror, and Winehouse's management firm Metropolis has confirmed he is no longer an employee.
 
A source tells the Daily Mirror, "Alex was asked to resign. The last thing Amy needs hanging around her are more (drug) users. Alex was supposed to help her and he crossed the line. Alex was a good friend to Amy but he caused massive rows for her with Blake. He couldn't stand hearing they were sleeping together."

A spokesman for Winehouse says, "We can confirm that Alex is no longer working for Metropolis or for Amy Winehouse."
