Adele Tells Her Dad To “F*ck Off!”…And Absolutely Means It.
During her interview for Vogue Magazine‘s March issue, 23 year old singer, Adele, discussed an extremely touchy situation: her father. Growing up, she did not have a very positive relationship with her father, Mark Evans, since he had problems with alcohol that ruined their family. She hadn’t spoken to him for 10 years, but, last year she was willing to try rebuilding their bond. Unfortunately he ruined his chances at bonding when he did an interview with The Sun, revealing details about his life and their relationship. He talked about his alcohol addiction, his divorce from Adele’s mother, how he influenced Adele’s music taste, and why he avoids listening to her music now. He said,
“I’d lie on the sofa all night cradling Adele in my arms and listening to my favourite music — Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan and Nina Simone. Night after night I’d play those records. I’m certain that is what shaped Adele’s music… I’ve heard her songs when they’ve come on the radio and I watched some of her performance at the Brits. But even then I had to walk out of the room halfway through. I couldn’t bear the memories it brought up.”
Now that he’s sold their personal story to the media, Adele refuses to give her father that second chance. She said,
“I was actually ready to start trying to have a relationship with him. He’s
fuckingblown it. He will never hear from me again. Because there is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It’s like, ‘Just let them run it, then. Don’t you give them ammunition’. It makes me angry! To come back after 10 years and be like, ‘Maybe her problem with men comes down to me’. It’s like, ‘Fuckoff! How dare you comment on my life?’ It makes my blood boil.”
She, then, asserted,
“There’s consequences other than just getting a bit of
fuckingmoney that lasts you half a year. It blows my mind. ‘I love her so much.’ Really? Why are you telling me that through a newspaper? If I ever see him I will spit in his face.”
Ouch!
