Richard Gere SLAMMED! Paul Simon's Daughter's SHOCKING Accusation!
Richard Gere is facing some serious heat! Lulu Simon, daughter of music legend Paul Simon and Edie Brickell, has publicly criticized the 'Pretty Woman' star for selling her childhood home to developers. According to reports, the property, located in New Canaan, Connecticut, is now slated for demolition to make way for a nine-house development.
Broken Promises?
Lulu Simon took to Instagram to express her anger and disappointment. She claims that when Gere purchased the property from her parents in 2022 for $10.8 million, he promised to “take care of the land.” She alleges this was a condition of the sale. However, Gere reportedly sold the property in October 2024 for $10.75 million to developers, who are now planning to build multiple homes on the site.
A Daughter's Fury
In her Instagram stories, Lulu didn't hold back, stating, “Just in case anyone was wondering if I still hate Richard Gere – I do!” She further accused him of breaking his promise and selling the land to developers “as 9 separate plots.” Her posts included a screenshot of a news article about the impending demolition and a picture of Gere.
