Mitch Winehouse, acting as the administrator of the British singer’s estate, claimed her stylist and another friend profited from selling items at auctions in the US.
Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch has lost a High Court claim in the UK against two of his daughter’s friends over the sale of the late singer’s belongings.

Last year, Mitch claimed that his daughter’s friends – stylist Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay – had profited from selling some of Amy’s items at auctions in the US in 2021 and 2023. His lawyers said in December that they did not inform him they were selling the items.
Both Parry and Gourlay defended the claim, with their barristers telling the court the items were either gifted to them personally by Amy, or that they already owned them.
In a judgment handed down today, Deputy High Court judge Sarah Clarke KC said: “I find that neither Ms Parry nor Ms Gourlay deliberately concealed any of their disputed items from the claimant and even if I am wrong about that, Mr Winehouse could have discovered what disputed items the defendants had with reasonable diligence,” (as per Sky News).
In a statement shared this afternoon, Parry said that the High Court had cleared her name “unequivocally and in full, after years of deeply damaging and unfounded allegations” brought by Mitch.
“I stood beside Amy as a friend, a creative partner, and her costume designer,” she said. “What we shared was built on trust, loyalty, and a genuine love of the work. To see that relationship misrepresented so publicly has been both painful and profoundly unjust.”
Amy Winehouse died at the age of 27 from alcohol poisoning. She was found in her Camden home in 2011. Her father has been acting as the administrator of his daughter’s estate.
