Paul Simon’s daughter, Lulu Simon, took to social media to blast actor Richard Gere for selling her childhood home in Connecticut to real estate developers who plan to demolish the property to make room for nine new homes.
Lulu declared her hatred for the “Pretty Woman” star in a post shared on Instagram stories, which also featured a selfie and screenshot of a news article. It detailed Gere’s plan for the estate, a sprawling 31.8-acre property in New Canaan he purchased in 2022.
“Just in case anyone was wondering if I still hate Richard Gere—I do!” she wrote Tuesday. “He bought my childhood home. Promised he would take care of the land as condition of his purchase. Proceeded to never actually move in & just sold it to a developer as 9 separate plots :).”
“Hate! Him!” she added without going into further details about the supposed purchase agreement.
In a second slide, Lulu shared an image of Gere’s face surrounded by dogs and captioned it: “I hope my dead pets buried in that backyard haunt you until you descend into a slow and unrelenting madness.” She followed it up with a meme, a frog sitting in front of a colorful sky with the words, “Time will put your enemies in the ground.”
Gere and his wife Alejandra officially sold the property for $10.75 million in October 2024. They have since moved to Spain, where Alejandra is from, to be closer to her family.
