The daughter of legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon<\/a> wants payback for Richard Gere selling her childhood home.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust in case anyone was wondering if I still hate Richard Gere\u2013I do!\u201d pop artist Lulu Simon<\/a>, 30, blasted on her Instagram stories in an all-caps rant on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

She shared a screenshot of a post that said her childhood home in Connecticut \u201cis being torn down\u201d just a few years after Pretty Woman actor Gere, 75, bought it. \u201cPreservationists are saying to salvage its 1930s charm before the 32-acre lot is turned into nine new homes,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n

Gere, 75, purchased the estate from Paul Simon<\/a> in 2022, allegedly promising to preserve the property. But the actor and his wife Alejandra Silva, 42, sold the property two years later, in November 2024, to SBP Homes for $10.75 million, making a slight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe 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,\u201d Simon wrote over a selfie on her Instagram Story. \u201cHate him!\u201d<\/p>\n

In another Instagram Story, the musician shared a photo of a younger Gere surrounded by photos of dogs and cats. \u201cI hope my dead pets buried in that back yard haunt you until you descend into a slow and unrelenting madness,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast has reached out to Gere\u2019s publicist for comment.<\/p>\n

The property, described by<\/a> Mansion Global as an English country-style estate, features six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, terraced patios, a pool, perennial gardens, woodland trails, a rock-rimmed brook, a natural pond, and a waterfall.<\/p>\n

Gere reportedly had initial plans to transform parts of the land into a farm. But in April 2024, he told Vanity Fair Espa\u00f1a<\/a> that he and his wife planned to relocate to her native Spain to be closer to her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,\u201d he said. \u201cShe was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so it is only fair that I give her at least another six living in hers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The developer plans to carve up the estate into nine vacant lots, ranging between 2.2 and 4.8 acres. They will be sold empty, giving buyers the chance to build their dream homes from the ground up, according to<\/a> news website CT Insider.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited about this project. From the beginning, our goal was to thoughtfully accommodate a wide range of interests in how the property would be developed,\u201d SBP Homes project manager Adam Sherer said in a statement in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The daughter of legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon wants payback for Richard Gere selling her childhood home. \u201cJust in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":51410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,2738,38566,171,316,21043,10558,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-51409","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-connecticut","10":"tag-conner","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-home","13":"tag-paul-simon","14":"tag-property","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114823339224968063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
