In this day of cell phones, you’d think Amy’s mom could’ve just called her up. But no….Mommy Janis felt the need to publish an open letter in Britain’s News of the World. While I might not approve of her tactics, her thoughts were good.

She says to Amy, “Early fame has overwhelmed you. It’s dizzied you and muddled your mind. For a moment, forget you’re a superstar. You’re also young and vulnerable. Remember you’re just an ordinary human being, no stronger than any of the rest of us. You think you’re strong enough to get through this on your own, darling, but you’re not.”

Mommy goes on to talk about Amy’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is still in prison. She says that, while she may not approve of Blake, she realizes that Amy chose him and she will not say negative things about him that would hurt Amy.

She ends with, “You know I’m an optimist and that I think, with our help, you will get back on top of things.”

Amy, remember - mother always knows!
