Rihanna Sued: Ignorance of the Lawn, No Excuse!

RihannaWe just got hold of a lawsuit filed against Rihanna today.

Christian Moeller is suing over some property, claiming Rihanna has been trampling all over his property.

Moeller is a professor of design and media art at UCLA. Moeller has created spaces for the W Hotel in Hollywood.

Here's what happened. Rihanna rents a home owned by Stephen Yacobian, whose house is next door to Moeller's. Moeller gave Yacobian an easement -- the right to drive cars on a portion of Moeller's property.

But two years ago, Yacobian renovated the property and the easement wasn't really being used. To make matters a lot worse, since Rihanna moved in she's been allowing cars to drive on Moeller's lawn to get to her driveway... and the suit claims sometimes the cars just sit there on the lawn.

So Moeller wants the easement eliminated. As for Rihanna, Moeller is suing her for allowing people and cars to trespass on his property.

She has plenty of money, why didn't she just get the driveway extended? She should have been more considerate for his property. Being a celeb is no reason to be rude. But I do agree with some people up here, she has been playing victim for far too long. This is just a small piece of the karma that's coming her way.

allie g, where the hell do you see Obama's name anywhere in here? Please tell me because I need to know. By the way, how about you take a trip to the White House and try to fix the economy of a whole country that is trillions in debt within 5 months. Are you serious? This whole economy problem didn't start with Bush's term (though he did make it a hell of a lot worse) this was 70 years ago. You expect him to be able to fix it that quickly? That's not the only problem in the US, there are many more and as the President its his job to pay attention to ALL of them. By the way, why do you think he's trying to make peace with all these countries? We can't get ourselves out of this debt, we need help from others so he is trying to fix it by getting more allies willing to donate money. Sit down somewhere.

Just because she's a celeb doesn't mean she should respect others' property. I hope the professor wins. They work really hard to earn a living, not just flounce around the globe with no real purpose.

An easement exists as long as the need exists. Just because he remodeled and put in grass does eliminate the need for an easement.
But courts today are not about the law they are a tool of people of influence in a community. So I am betting against Rihanna. To bad we can not count on the law.
