Amy Winehouse’s father is suing two of her friends for over £730,000 in rift over star’s estate
THE father of late pop singer Amy Winehouse is suing two of her friends for more than £730,000.
A court document claims the pals profited from selling his daughter’s property at auctions.
Dad Mitch Winehouse — as administrator of his daughter’s estate — is bringing the case against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay at London’s High Court.
The estate claims items sold at one auction would have seen 30 per cent of profits going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
A statement first issued by a spokesperson for the Amy Winehouse Estate last month said: "In 2021, Amy's estate auctioned items from her life and career with 30% of the proceeds going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
"Two individuals sold a number of items at that auction and have retained the proceeds: the items were all Amy related.

"This year they have put more Amy-related items up for auction and together the two auctions have generated six figure sums for each of them.
"The estate has questioned how these items came into their possession and has not had satisfactory answers.
"The estate has therefore launched a legal process to clarify the situation .
"The Amy Winehouse Foundation will directly benefit if monies are recovered from either defendant."
