I Got Duped Into Buying
a Crappy Mansion
When you drop $6.9 million on a Beverly Hills mansion ... you expect a quality place -- but Rihanna claims all she got was a leaky piece of crap ... and she's blaming the woman she bought the home from for allegedly lying to her.
Rihanna just filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming she bought a 2-story home in Bev Hills in 2009 for $6.9 mil ... after the seller claimed she was not aware of any major defects with the property.
But Rihanna claims the woman was lying -- and knew about all sorts of problems withthe home ... including numerous waterproofing defects, evidence of water intrusion and other construction defects.
According to the docs, Rihanna's home was hit by a "moderate rainstorm" in January 2010 ... but because of the defects, water leaked into multiple rooms ... causing some serious damage.
Rihanna claims she got screwed -- because "the actual value of the property at the time of purchase, taking into consideration the extensive construction defects ... was millions of dollars less" than the price she paid for it.
Rihanna is now suing the former owner ... along with the inspector, the real estate agents involved with the sale, and engineers who worked on the house.
Although the house hasn't hit Redfin yet, the Real Estalker hears that Rihannahas put her Beverly Hills, Calif., estate on the market for $4.5M. In 2009, the pop star dropped $6.9M on the eight-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot spread, which has a sauna, steam room, home theater, and 30-foot ceilings. (A while back, she opened her home to British rag Look, which appeared to fabricate some direct quotes about entertaining Justin Timberlake there.) Anyway, the manse seems to have a pretty face, but Rihanna has just filed a lawsuit against the former owner, inspection firm, the engineer, and her buyer's agent: the place flooded in January 2010 because one of the balconies was higher than its adjacent interior floor. She's claiming that she should have paid much, much less for a property that was billed as "thoroughly remodeled" but was essentially defective. Good luck selling it off, Ri!
Rihanna is selling that amazing Beverly Hills mansion? I think she is a little bit pretentious. I wouldn't sell such a wonderful house! Actually, I'm also looking for a new and nice home in Beverly Hills. I've already hired Michael Libow real estate agent in order to help me find the perfect house for me. Wish me good luck!:)
