Stevie Wonder Eviction Battle: Ex-Fiancée Fights Back
5 Nov
Summary
- Ex-fiancée claims Stevie Wonder failed to maintain Hollywood home.
- She alleges dampness, mold, and holes in the property.
- Eviction lawsuit filed after she refused property inspection.
Carmen Efferson, who was reportedly engaged to Stevie Wonder, is contesting his efforts to evict her from a Hollywood Hills residence. She has lived in the home rent-free since 1988 and filed a response to Wonder's lawsuit, accusing him of breaching the warranty of habitability.
Efferson's filing details numerous alleged defects within the three-bedroom home, including damp walls, leaks, holes in floors and walls, and damaged screens. She is requesting that a judge order Wonder to make repairs and adjust the rent to a reasonable value until the conditions improve.
Wonder's legal team initiated the eviction proceedings after Efferson refused entry for a property insurance renewal inspection. This led to the revocation of an alleged oral agreement for rent-free living and an eviction notice with a move-out date of August 27, 2026.
As of November 5, 2026, Efferson remains in the property past the stipulated departure date. Wonder's lawsuit seeks her removal and damages totaling $600, related to lapsed property insurance.
