'Hate Him': Paul Simon's Daughter Chastises Richard Gere, Hopes Her Dead Pets Will Haunt Him

NEW CANAAN, CONNECTICUT, JUL 9 – Richard Gere sold the childhood home of Paul Simon's daughter for $10.75 million to developers planning a nine-house project, prompting public criticism from Lulu Simon.

  • In 2022, Richard Gere acquired the 1930s English country-style residence in New Canaan, Connecticut, previously owned by musician Paul Simon and his wife Edie Brickell, and then sold it to a developer in October 2024.
  • Gere promised to care for the land as a purchase condition but did not move in, leading to the home's sale for subdivision into nine lots, causing displeasure for Lulu Simon, Paul Simon's daughter.
  • The developer plans to demolish the home to build nine luxury properties on lots ranging from 2.2 to 4.8 acres, while preservationists work to salvage architectural elements.
  • Lulu Simon expressed in Instagram stories her anger, stating she still hates Gere and hopes her dead pets buried there haunt him until he descends into 'slow and unrelenting madness.'
  • The sale and demolition reflect the Geres’ relocation to Spain in late 2024, with Silva expressing interest in returning to the United States in the future.
