Amy Winehouse

This is exactly what I think too and it really annoys me ha! It seems everyone wants to claim that they were her “best friend” but I would be inclined to believe that her best friends were Juliette, and Lauren, and maybe Tyler who I believe did live with her a couple of times and at the last. The Asif Kapadia documentary is the only source I really trust.

And didn’t Tyler say in his book about Catriona living with Amy’s druggie hairdresser or something? And the only pics of Catriona and Amy are when they’re out on the drink. I get hanger on vibes from her, happy to go along with the party lifestyle. And all this talk about being lovers and Amy being confused about her sexuality literally over a decade after her death is just despicable and attention seeking.

Funny we were chatting on here about Naomi and Catriona selling her belongings just yesterday, there’s an article in the Sunday Times supplement today about how Mitch is taking legal action against them and the story around that. Have any of you seen it?

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt for a minute, and I do think Mitch is miffed and thinks that he should have that money. But they say these were things gifted to them, and that Amy would have wanted them to sell them. If true and they were strapped for cash then fair enough, but it says they gave 156 items for the auction. That’s a lot of things to have been gifted, I’d be curious to know what they were as there was a lot of rubbish sold at that same auction - a used candle, a tube of Simple moisturiser, empty perfume and body wash bottles, half-used makeup bits to name a few. It just looked like a total raid of her house, like someone had taken every little thing. But the one that grabbed me the most was a Polaroid photo of Amy and Catriona, I find it shocking that it was being sold. Why would she want to part with that? If it were me I would never want to sell that, I would treasure it. Especially as it’s a personal photo, with my so called “best friend” - to me that tells me exactly what to think of Catriona.
I agree the only doc I found believable was the’Amy’ one by Asif. It was brilliant and all felt really true. I think I might have to re read Tyler’s book now. I found the ‘reclaiming Amy’ by the mum just felt strange. Don’t get me wrong I feel bad for the mum but she seemed on another planet a bit and that she was talking about Amy as a little child rather than an adult. I mean they all just talked about how wonderful she was and how well she did and just brushed over the fact that her life went into a total car crash. She was a bulimic for years and years, alcoholic and drug addict and it was just barely mentioned when actually it’s pretty relevant because it killed her at 27. Also no mention of the fact that she was allowed to do lots of performances where she was obviously completely out of it.
 
When I saw the list of items, I could have cried. Single earrings, half used eye liner, driving test manuals. It WAS literally like someone had gone in and grabbed anything that was there. Shocked there was no half used soaps and tubes of toothpaste. So so distasteful

This has stopped me in my tracks. This is so, so sad.
 
They all sound like a bunch of vultures. I do believe her an Tyler were very close. His book was respectful without sugar coating life as a friend to a volatile alcoholic. He probably made a decent amount of money from the book but I think over 10 years had passed since she died before it came out. The appetite is there for it so I don't see a problem with that. These 'friends' who ransacked her make up bag tho are appalling. Completely unproven provenance for stuff like that anyway. Gotta laugh at the clown who might be paying for Catriona's used soap.
 
Just had another look through and seen that the sale of the infamous blood-stained ballet pumps - and several other pairs - were "from the collection of Catriona Gourlay". Classy. But yeah, I'm sure Amy gave those to her as a nice little gift.

Naomi Parry also sold some tattered ballet pumps, an old MAC lipstick, and a dried out Rimmel eyeliner - "from the collection of Naomi Parry". No doubt there's plenty more but that confirms a few of the 156 items.

These people disgust me, possibly even more than Mitch. "Close friends" my arse.

This is incredibly sad.
What is wrong with people?

Just had a mooch on there and there's also her bras, cards and letters she wrote to Blake that I'm pretty sure she would prefer to stay private and a locket described as "one of her most prized possessions".

What's the betting they either "borrowed" (cough) some of this stuff while Amy was alive or ransacked her house after she died?

Mitch is a crappy person but these two are no better. I remember reading a couple of interviews with Caitriona and it honestly sounded like she barely knew Amy and was just bullshitting.

Honestly, I can’t find any hero’s in this story. It breaks my heart.
 
Went down a rabbit hole re: the auction




"Generously gifted us various items" oh please :rolleyes: some of the things they sold may have been gifted, sure, but I wish journalists would do their bloody due diligence and research further instead of just parroting what they say in their articles. It's literally on the auction website that those items that should have been thrown in the bin were from Catriona and Naomi's collections. I can't think that anyone would believe that a dried up eyeliner, old lipstick and multiple pairs of ripped/bloodied ballet pumps would have been "generous gifts" from Amy.

They keep talking about the sold items being from "curated collections" with Amy, but do they really expect us to believe those bits of rubbish were "curated"? I actually think they don't realise that it's written on the auction website, their names linked to the ballet pumps and old makeup things. They're getting a lot of support from people who only think they sold some clothes. Everyone should know about the other things.
 
I'm like a dog with a bone with this haha but I commented on Catriona's Instagram account (about the things they sold), and she's blocked me 😂 did I touch a nerve? I wasn't rude, just matter of fact.

It's kind of confirmed to me that my opinions of her are fairly accurate. I'd noticed all of her comments were positive, not one critical or negative comment on there.
 
I don't agree with what they're doing but neither do I think Mitch should be dragging it through the courts. Its a stupid waste of legal resources and its overly controlling. They haven't stolen personal bits of her property from him. It's just dregs and debris. The court of public opinion will judge them. They're a pair of desperate ghouls and so are the people buying.

I think Mitch is just annoyed that somebody other than him is making money from Amy.
