A British judge has ordered Mitch Winehouse to pay nearly one million pounds in damages to two friends of his late daughter, Amy Winehouse. The payment is for Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, former stylists and associates who were sued by Mitch Winehouse after they sold over 100 personal items belonging to the singer between 2021 and 2023. These items included dresses, handbags, and makeup.
The court rejected the father's claim that the sales happened without his consent; instead, the judge concluded that he was aware of the planned sales throughout the process. The ruling described the lawsuit as a weak claim pursued in an aggressive and relentless manner. According to the court, these unfounded accusations significantly harmed the health, reputations, career prospects, and financial security of the two women.
The damages are intended to cover moral harm and legal fees. Amy Winehouse died on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27 due to alcohol poisoning.
