Rolling Stone • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Stevie Wonder has filed a lawsuit to evict Carmen Efferson, who has been living rent-free in his Hollywood Hills home for nearly 40 years under an alleged oral agreement.
- Efferson, reportedly Wonder's former fiancée, refused entry to the property for insurance inspection in July, responding with profane and accusatory emails to Wonder's legal team.
- Wonder's lawyers revoked the oral agreement due to noncompliance and served Efferson an eviction notice with a move-out deadline of August 27, 2026, which she ignored, prompting the lawsuit.
- The lawsuit seeks Efferson's removal from the property and $600 in damages related to lapsed property insurance renewal fees.
- Wonder's representatives have not yet commented publicly on the ongoing legal dispute.
