Judge orders Mitch Winehouse to pay £950,000 to Amy Winehouse’s friendsA judge has ordered the father of Amy Winehouse to pay almost £1 million to her friends after unsuccessfully attempting to sue them for auctioning her personal items. Amy tragically passed away in July 2011 from alcohol poisoning at the age of 27, with the 15th anniversary of her death occurring last week. Mitch’s team argued in court that the pair “took advantage” of his forgetfulness and took home more than $1.4 million in sales. Clarke went on, “The fact that he knowingly and deliberately did this to two young women who had stood faithfully by Amy … makes his unreasonable conduct particularly serious.” After all the trouble, Mitch must pay back £950,000 to his late daughter’s friends.
