For everyone who is wondering. Lulu Simon still hates Richard Gere! On Tuesday, the pop singer used social mediato criticize Gere for selling her parents’ house. Although he had supposedly promised to take care of the property when he was buying the property from her father, “Mrs. Robinson” singer Paul Simon. In an article in her Instagram story, Lulu wrote that Gere had “bought my parents’ house that he would take care of the country as a condition for the purchase”. And then “he never moved into it and simply sold it to a developer as nine separate plots”.
“I hope my dead pets follow you”
According to Realor.com, Hudson Valley House Parts was commissioned in May to secure historical elements of the colonial style elements of 1938 after it was sold to SBP Homes for $ 10.75 million last year when Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva moved to Spain.
Elsewhere in her Instagram post, Lulu wrote: “If someone was wondering if I still hate Richard Gere. Yes, I do that!” To underline her point of view, she published a photo of Gere with dogs and a cat in the background. And provided it with the caption: “I hope my dead pets that are buried in the garden, follow you until you fall into slow and unstoppable madness.”
According to the local sheet of New Canaan Advertiser, the “Pretty Woman” star and his wife Silva bought the 32 hectare property in 2022 from Paul Simon. They originally planned to convert the majority of the country into a farm. During a meeting of the Commission for Planning and Zone division in 2023 – when the couple had the house – her lawyer David Rucci assured the Commission that the historical property would not be converted into a commercial area.
Lawyer: “There will be no commercial use”
“I received four or five calls from neighbors who were very concerned. Simply whether this would be some kind of large commercial use. And that is really not,” said Rucci at the time, according to New Canan Advertister. “The owners both grew up on farms. They are very interested in agriculture. And want to teach their children something about country life. That is really important to them.”
