An Amy Winehouse<\/strong><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Naturally, the internet is outraged … with folks calling the vandalism disgraceful, revolting and antisemitic.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Mitch Winehouse <\/strong>— 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.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Unclear how long the Palestinian flag sticker was on Amy’s statue, but it has since been removed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
