Amy Winehouse's ex calls new documentary 'piece of orchestrated spin'

Washington: Amy Winehouse's former fiance Reg Traviss has criticized the singer's new documentary, describing it as nothing more than a piece of orchestrated spin .

The British film director wrote in a publication that his late singer fiance was a real person, and the documentary makers have effectively attacked her like previous docu makers, Us Magazine reported.

Traviss claimed documentary makers had taken his 'Back to Black' hit-maker fiance's name and exploited her talent for their own ends, without taking responsibility for reflecting the true person that she was.

The 38-year-old Hollywood helmer said the documentary was just a fictionalized biopic centered around a distorted depiction of the singer's life and her relationship with the family, which will shape how people remember her.

Amy's documentary which recently premiered at Cannes Film Festival, received mixed reviews, as many publications named it a piece of "intimacy and intelligence", whereas the singer's parents called it "misleading".
