Amy Winehouse’s father demands £730,000 from two of his daughter’s friends after they kept profits from £3.3m sale of the star’s bras, lipsticks and underwear

Amy Winehouse’s father has been in contact with two friends of his late daughter, who he has accused of keeping £730,000 in profits from the sale of her assets, including bras, underwear and make-up.

Mitch Winehouse, 73, says Naomi Perry and Catriona Gourlay have kept profits from the £3.3million sale of her assets that took place in the US in 2021, following the legendary singer’s death a decade earlier.

Naomi and Catriona, who was rumored to be Amy’s lover before her death, said they were “generously” given the items by Amy with Mitch’s “full knowledge and cooperation.”

But the Amy Winehouse Estate said it was “wondering how these items came into their possession and has not received satisfactory answers”, adding that it was launching a High Court attempt to “clarify the situation”.

Perry and Gourlay answered 156 questions about the items sold in London’s High Court, revealing what each item was worth.

The Sun reported that the sale included the dress she wore during her last performance before her death in 2011

The Sun reported that sales included the dress she wore during her last appearance before her death in 2011, which coroners determined was caused by alcohol.

The auction also sold at least two bras that the Black to Black singer wore, as well as several makeup items she used.

Former taxi driver Mitch said he wants the £730,000 received by Perry and Gourlay to be paid to the foundation set up in the singer’s memory.

Perry and Gourlay said in an Instagram post that legal fees have taken away much of the money they made from the sale, saying the £730,000 figure is “significantly exaggerated.”

They said Mitch agreed to Perry and Gourlay undertaking a project that would involve the publication of a book about Amy’s life, as well as a number of exhibitions, which attracted significant media attention.

They said: ‘After completing the project, we have decided to part with some items from our collection.’

It was after this sale, they said, that Mitch launched a “legal campaign” against the couple, which has had a “profound impact” on them “personally, professionally and financially.”

The legal row comes just days after the first trailer for the controversial Amy Winehouse biopic was released ahead of its UK release in April.

Actress Marisa Abela stars as the late singer-songwriter with scenes depicting her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil (played by Jack O’Connell).

Blake, who was married to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning at the age of 27 in 2011.

In the trailer, Amy declares that she wants to be known for more than her singing and her desperation to become a mother, before sadly dying childless.

In an emotional scene she describes Blake as ‘her life and soul’ before their on/off relationship inspires her to write the iconic song Back To Black.
