Stevie Wonder Sues Ex Over Rent-Free Home
22 Oct
Summary
- Stevie Wonder is suing to evict Carmen Efferson from his Los Angeles property.
- Efferson has lived in the home rent-free since July 1988.
- A dispute over property inspection access led to the eviction lawsuit.
Music icon Stevie Wonder has initiated legal proceedings to evict Carmen Efferson from a Los Angeles property he owns. The situation stems from Efferson's occupancy of the home since July 1988, reportedly without paying rent under a verbal agreement.
Legal documents reveal that attempts by Wonder's representatives to conduct an insurance inspection over the summer were thwarted by Efferson's alleged refusal to grant access. This lack of access reportedly placed the property's insurance coverage at risk.
Consequently, Wonder's legal team issued a notice in July to terminate Efferson's right to occupy the residence, with an expected departure date of August 27. As Efferson remains in the property, Wonder has now filed an eviction lawsuit, seeking damages and legal costs.
Adding a personal dimension, Efferson reportedly shares a romantic past with Wonder, including a reported engagement in the late 1980s. Wonder has since remarried, with his current wife being Tomeeka Robyn Bracy since 2017.
