Amy Winehouse Statue’s Star of David Necklace Covered By Palestine Flag

An Amy Winehouse statue in London has been defaced — with protestors covering up the statue’s Star of David necklace with a Palestinian flag, causing outrage among some … but not necessarily in her own family.

Pro-Palestine demonstrators besmirched the late singer’s statue over the weekend during a massive protest in London … with someone placing a sticker of the Palestinian flag on Amy’s likeness.

The statue features Amy wearing a Star of David necklace, a symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism, and the Palestine flag sticker covered up the pendant. Amy was British and Jewish.

Naturally, the internet is outraged … with folks calling the vandalism disgraceful, revolting and antisemitic.

Mitch Winehouse — Amy’s dad and the administrator of her estate — however is taking a more measured response, telling TMZ … “It’s not very nice but it was just a sticker.”

Amy’s bronze statue in London’s Camden Market was unveiled in 2014, a couple years after her 2011 death, and fans often leave flowers to pay their respects.

Unclear how long the Palestinian flag sticker was on Amy’s statue, but it has since been removed.
