AMY WINEHOUSE'S newly-divorced husband has infuriated the star by demanding a staggering payoff of £6MILLION.
Incredibly, junkie Blake Fielder-Civil claims he is entitled to the fortune because HE inspired her massively successful album Back To Black . . . by CHEATING on her.
But snarling Amy, 25, has told friends: "He's getting nothing from me."
Fielder-Civil, 27, was granted a quickie divorce on Thursday on the grounds of Amy's adultery.
But it was HIS cheating with an ex-girlfriend before the couple's marriage in May 2007 that led to Amy's classic break-up album which spawned a string of hit singles including Rehab, You Know I'm No Good and Tears Dry On Their Own.
A close friend of the singer told us: "Amy did write Back To Black when Blake left her, but why on earth should he be getting a dime for making her feel so bad?
Heart
"She was at her lowest ebb when she wrote that album. Her boyfriend had left her for another woman and she poured her heart and soul into the writing process.
"It's like saying that the man who writes a book about his murdered wife should give the murderer some of the profits.
"It's an absolutely ridiculous request."
Fielder-Civil now has six weeks to negotiate the financial settlement or walk away from the high- profile marriage with nothing. Amy's friend explained: "The judge has given the Decree Nisi and the Decree Absolute will follow in six weeks.
"Blake has to make a claim before that but he has made it clear to Amy privately he wants millions. She believes she's right and Blake has no real case for a stake at her money."
Although neither was present in court in central London Amy, who is reckoned to have a £10million fortune, had returned to Britain from her home-from-home in the Caribbean.
The pal added: "Amy's distraught because she hopes to get back to St Lucia and move on with a new phase of her life but doesn't think Blake will go quietly. Blake's family don't want him to ask for money but he hasn't given up on a hefty payday.
"He thinks he was a big part of her success with Back To Black and deserves money for what he put up with.
"Amy is furious and doesn't want to negotiate.
"But she's happy for his outrageous demands to be made public because she wants to show him up."
On songs such as the title track the turmoil of her relationship with Blake and her real contempt for him is clear.
Amy sings: "He left no time to regret, kept his d*** wet, with his same old safe bet, me and my head high, and my tears dry, get on without my guy."
The song goes on: "We only said goodbye with words. I died a hundred times. You go back to her and I go back to us."
And in the final single on the album, Love Is A Losing Game, she laments the relationship as a passing flame and wishes that she had never even met the former jailbird, with whom she shared a heroin addiction.
She wails: "For you I was a flame, love is a losing game."
