As tragic as her life was, I can't imagine going the route you did. Her pain will help heal lifetimes to come. You really didn't have to do that. Please uplift her memory in a powerful way instead of BS apology. She's a legend.

"Regrettable" is a pretty clean pr term for something so unspeakably disrespectful and shamefulhttps://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1526394322098065408\u00a0\u2026

Society is way overdue for a discussion about the way Amy Winehouse was treated in the early 2000s and 2010s by the misogynistic celebrity media machine and the people who were a captive audience to it. Neil Patrick Harris' fucked up corpse cake is just the tip of the iceberg.

As an alcoholic, Amy Winehouse\u2019s death shook me to the core. It\u2019s one of the few celebrity deaths that impacted me on a bigger scale + it deeply hurt to see how ppl reacted to her death. I realize this was years ago but JFC this is absolutely disgusting.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/neil-patrick-harris-backlash-amy-winehouse-corpse\u00a0\u2026
