Neil Patrick served meat platter mocking Amy Winehouse's corpse, apologizes

[Rebel 5,221]

The “disgusting” and “graphic” meat platter inspired by Amy Winehouse’s corpse that Neil Patrick Harris served at a party just 3 months after her death has resurfaced online.

Just three months after her death, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, attracted criticism when they displayed “The Corpse of Amy Winehouse” at their Halloween party buffet. Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his now-husband, Justin Mikita, were guests at the party and Justin shared a photo of the platter to Twitter at the time.

The disturbing photo showed a gory depiction of a rotting and bloodied corpse, complete with Amy’s iconic beehive hairdo, and a glimpse at her tattoos. In case there was any doubt over who the dish was supposed to represent, a handwritten description that had been placed beside the food read: “The Corpse of Amy Winehouse.”

Spoiler

While the plate was ultimately a meat platter, many mistakenly thought that the grotesque display was a cake, and referred to it as such in their critique. The now-viral tweet read: “I cannot believe how many very online people over the age of 25 are just now finding out about Neil Patrick Harris’s disgusting Amy Winehouse cake…”

Harris has a response. "A photo recently resurfaced from a Halloween-themed party my husband and I hosted 11 years ago," Harris tells EW in a statement. "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."

That’s so disgusting. Literally. Shame on the catering company that agreed to make it too. 

[Franch Toast 26,288]

Oh yeah, I knew about this. He's only apologizing now because it's basically gone viral. 

So many people disrespected Amy while she was alive, and it's disappointing that NPH disrespected her after she passed (and soon after at that)...It's disgusting.

Exactly. I don't know how he and his husband thought this was in good taste (pun not intended). Learning about this has changed my perception of him.

Wtf... this is horrible. How can you do this and not realize it's wrong?? It amazes me how insensitive people can be sometimes.

This is beyond DISTURBING.

1 - this is a MESSED up looking MEAT TRAY WTF.

2 - Say what you want about messy people, but most people wouldn’t do this or think this is funny. There’s something off and not right here. 

3 - I can’t see myself or anyone I know making a joke out of someone’s dead body 11 years ago, 20 years ago, never. What the hell kind of excuse is that? 

DISGUSTING AND DISTURBED.

[Fantina 3,325]

Dude, I am messy and love gore but this goes above and beyond and it's incredibly disgusting and heartless. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea to do? 

[MelbHawker 6,583]

How can anyone think something like this is ever appropriate or acceptable? I remember seeing it years ago.. it’s just so poor. 

[TheSlash 14,539]

Wow, didn't know this. I liked NPH before that. But now?

Disrespectful, disgusting and beyond aweful.

This is just sad  

[Levine 23,478]

It's disgusting, disturbing and sick. But it happened 11 years ago, what's the point now?

[Meat 18,962]

Disgusting to say the least. Anyway Amy is a bigger and more loved celebrity than that hideous man will ever be.
