It’s been a tough few weeks for Aisleyne, who has been revisiting her grief for her late friend Amy Winehouse in the wake of the Back To Black biopic.
The film follows the life of the singer, who tragically died from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011, and includes some of her darkest moments.
Aisleyne, who attended the UK premiere of the film, said that she struggles with the idea of these moments being dramatised for entertainment.
She told Closer magazine: ‘I don’t see why it’s necessary for them to go into so much detail surrounding her struggles. I know that she’s a worldwide legend an icon, and people are intrigued by her life, but she was so much more than that.’
The reality star, who described Amy has a ‘pure and funny human being’, admitted she ‘doesn’t know why Amy’s dad Mitch has been supporting the film.
‘I truly hope the film gives Mitch some solace, when I found out the project had his backing I assumed it was going to be a really positive ode to Amy and her legacy but now I just don’t know,’ she shared.
‘If it isn’t a fitting tribute to her, I don’t know why he would support it. Maybe it’s cathartic for him. I found writing my biography cathartic, so maybe it’s like that for him. But, for me, knowing the film depicts some of her darker moments is causing a lot of emotions to erupt in me.’
Mitch allegedly banned Aisleyne from Amy’s funeral apparently because she partied with Amy in the weeks leading up to her death.
He later tweeted that Amy had ‘never mentioned’ Aisleyne. Writing: ‘Aisleyne Hogan? Amy’s friend? Amy never mentioned her to me.’

Aisleyne also suffered heartbreak when her friend Nikki Grahame died.
The pair appeared on Big Brother in the seventh series back in 2006 and had several rows during their time in the house.
However, Aisleyne later became close friends with Nikki until her tragic death.
Nikki died on April 10, 2021, a day after she was discharged from Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester after a three week stay to treat her for anorexia.
She had struggled with anorexia for much of her life and was first admitted to a psychiatric hospital at age 12.
