ILThe father of late singer Amy Winehouse, Mitch Winehouse, was ordered to pay £950,000 (£1.26 million) to his daughter's friends after losing a lawsuit alleging they improperly sold her belongings. The friends, Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, had auctioned 155 items including clothing, jewelry, and memorabilia between 2021 and 2023. The court ruled that Mitch's claims were 'unfounded' and that he pursued the case aggressively despite knowing about the sales. The judge criticized his behavior as 'particularly serious' due to the emotional impact on the friends who had supported Amy during her life.
