Amy Winehouse’s Dad: Friends Hid Profit from Memorabilia Auctions

TWO pals of Amy Winehouse “concealed” the fact they made money at two auctions of her memorabilia that raised almost £1million, her dad Mitch said yesterday.

The star’s bloodied ballet pumps, a card from Adele and Mark Ronson and a Fendi bracelet were among 155 lots.

Mitch, 75, claims stylist Naomi Parry and Amy’s best pal Catriona Gourlay owe more than £730,000.

He alleges the disputed items, including designer dresses, were “owned by the estate” when sold and is seeking damages.

He agreed Amy was generous but when they told him they were “parting with a few things” it “drastically downplayed the true position”.

Mr Winehouse added: “I’m sure there were times when Amy gifted them items.

“It was characteristic of Amy.

“I assume as they were so close that Amy would have given them some things but 150 items, I just can’t believe it.”

Both deny wrongfully acquiring the mementos, claiming they were gifts or lent to Amy.

Valerie hitmaker Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning aged 27 at her flat in Camden, North London, in 2011.

The High Court civil trial goes on.
