On We Need To Talk this week, Blake addressed rumors he was involved in Amy's 2011 death, acknowledging that he did have "a part to play."
"I never shirk from any responsibility. If I've done something, I'll put my hand up to it," he added. Regardless, Blake explained he's "made peace" with his role. He also reminded Amy's fans that she was a "strong woman [with] agency."
"That is in no way at all disrespecting her by saying that. But Amy did what she wanted to do," he emphasized. "Even though the drinking had started to hurt her, she carried on."
Although alcohol ultimately caused Amy's death, Blake admitted to introducing his ex-wifeto heroin. But, he clarified she had allegedly "experimented" with cocaine with a previous partner, so this was not her first timeusing drugs.
"Do these people think that I forced Amy to do drugs? That's just not what happened," he argued. "This idea of daily facilitating — no. I wasn't the dealer."
