The 155 items, which were auctioned between 2021 and 2023, included clothes, ballet slippers, handbags, earrings and make-up owned by Amy Winehouse. The father of British music sensation Amy Winehouse was ordered on Wednesday to pay £950,000 ($1.26 million) to his late daughter’s friends, whom he unsuccessfully sued for auctioning the singer’s clothes and other items. During the trial, the London court was told that Winehouse’s friends “took advantage” of her father’s forgetfulness and pocketed more than $1.4 million in sales proceeds. The judge found the two women had not deliberately concealed any of the items from Winehouse’s father, who “knew all along” about the intended sale and only pursued them for money after it was completed. In the April ruling, the judge noted that Amy Winehouse was known for her “extraordinary generosity towards her friends and also those she barely knew”.
