Mitch Winehouse Ordered to Pay $2.7 Million Over Amy's Memorabilia

Mitch Winehouse, the dad of the late singer Amy Winehouse, was told by a judge to pay a lot of money—$2.7 million—because some of Amy's personal things were sold at auctions without his permission.

The items were sold by Amy's close friends, Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, between 2021 and 2023.

Mitch had talked to the auction house boss, Darren Julien, and knew the auction was happening.

The judge, Justice Clarke, said Mitch was “prone to aggressive reactions to perceived wrongs.”

Mitch must pay about £569,330 to Parry and £394,521 to Gourlay in two weeks.

The case shows how important it is to keep track of a famous person's belongings after they pass away.

It also reminds people that selling items without permission can lead to big legal trouble.

The judge’s decision was made in a UK court.

The money will go to the friends who sold the items.

This story is still in the news because it involves a famous singer’s family and her legacy.
