A bitter dispute between the family of late singer Amy Winehouse and two of her close friends has reached a sour end, with a high court judge ruling in favor of the defendants. Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father and administrator of her estate, had brought a claim against Naomi Parry, Amy's stylist, and Catriona Gourlay, a close friend, alleging they profited from selling dozens of items once owned by the singer at auctions in the US in 2021 and 2023. The items, which included personal belongings and memorabilia, were sold for a reported six-figure sum, sparking a heated dispute over who had the right to profit from them. The ruling marks a significant setback for the Winehouse family, who had sought to recover some of the funds from the sale of Amy's personal items.
