The real story behind Amy Winehouse’s swollen cheek?

 Amy Winehouse photographed with a very swollen cheek was explained away by her rep as an infection caused by impetigo. The UK Sun newspaper has an alternate explanation and a lot more colorful as well. They say Winehouse aka Wino was smoking in a restaurant when a waitress told her three times that smoking wasn’t allowed. After the waitress gave her the third warning, Wino looked her in the eye and stubbed out her Marlboro Light on her cheek.

A witness said, “She hardly flinched because she was so high. The whole place was open-mouthed in horror. The waitress covered her mouth in shock and just walked off to tell the manager. It was a shocking sight.”

Amy then tried to conceal the wound with foundation but it become infected, causing the swelling on her cheek. The story makes sense given Amy’s self-harming tendencies.
