Rihanna Sued: Ignorance of the Lawn, No Excuse!

Posted Jun 16th 2009 6:41PM by TMZ Staff

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.

48. Let me get this right. Moeller the party whom is suing, gave permission and an easement to the home next door to him owned by Yacobian that Rhianna is now renting. The owner of the home told the tennants that they could use the easement granted by the party that is now suing. All righty then, what an idiot! people will try anything for money. Maybe he should just rent part of his lawn out to TMZ and all the other paps, it would pay better than this lame scheme.

50. oh please this is stupid....how many lawsuits do celebs face in a lifetime or a span of 1 to 5 years for that matter?? theres just always some jerks looking to get as much money as they can for whatever they can think of...yeah the situation a pain but big friggin deal ask her to stop before going this far. your average joe deals with these things all the time. its just bull they guy wants her money. even people who are supposed to be a celebs friend will turn on them at the first sign of gossip just to make a buck. also correct me if im wrong but i didnt think this news had anything to do with chris brown so why is everyone talking about him above?? he sucks, he hit her, its over, move on...

51. What purpose does all of the sexist and racist comments serve? Thought the topic was the granting of an easement and a tenants company utilizing same as well as parking on a portion of the lawn belonging to the grantor. You don't see this behavior often in upscale neighborhoods...it's usually standard fare in 'trailer trash' hoods.

52. What goes around... comes around.. but she lives by the saying of : I'm Rihanna Damn it! " So she wont get the saying either. and as for the one sueing her... If he is living next door to Rihanna.. TRUST ME get rich scheme isnt what this is its some one who is fed up with these celebutaunts getting away with murder and doing as they please and disrespecting of others.. Ya' I would sue her too... She is the one encourageing her vistiors to park there for DAYS it would seem. So she is to blame!! Just because everyone wants to pity this girl for the Chris Brown thing... doesnt mean she is the victim in EVERY THING!!! Sometimes you HAVE to look at the facts... she is rude and disrespectful period. No further questions!!!! Princess RiRi needs to be dethroned!

59. this lawsuit is so retarded just like the racist THE REAL DEAL!why don't you go back to nazi-land!

60. She was not told by the owner that she could park her car there, she was told that she could use the yard to get to her driveway. Then her house got remodeled and her driveway wasn't big enough so she decided that because she's "Rihanna" she could park on his lawn. I would have had every single one of those cars towed the minute they parked on my property. I understand why he's upset, its his private property and if she didn't ask permission then its her own fault. Especially if she let her friends park their cars all over his yard too. That's rude.
