Months after the singer’s death in 2011, Neil and David Burtka hosted a Halloween party and served a platter of meats with a fake corpse of Amy, topped by her bouffant hairstyle.
“The Corpse of Amy Winehouse,” read the sign. “Beef ribs pulled pork, chicken sausage in a spicy BBQ sauce.”
“A photo recently resurfaced from a Halloween-themed party my husband and I hosted 11 years ago,” he told Entertainment Weekly in a statement published on Monday. “It was regrettable then, and it remains regrettable now. Amy Winehouse was a once-in-a-generation talent, and I’m sorry for any hurt this image caused.”
The original image was shared by party attendee Justin Mikita, now the husband of Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Variety reported. It has resurfaced from time to time.
