Stevie Wonder's Ex-Fiancée Isn't Holding Back in Their Legal Fight

Wonder says Efferson breached a verbal agreement by refusing insurance inspectors and seeks to end her decadeslong occupancy of the home.

  • On October 22, Grammy winner Stevie Wonder filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court to evict his former fiancée, Carmen Efferson, from his Hollywood Hills home, alleging she breached their verbal agreement.
  • Efferson has lived rent-free in the residence since 1988 based on a verbal agreement, but Wonder's legal team claims she breached it this summer by refusing entry to authorized insurance inspectors, risking the property's insurance coverage.
  • In an interview published Wednesday, Efferson branded the 76-year-old singer a 'manipulator' and 'fool,' maintaining the house was promised to her while Wonder's legal team seeks statutory damages of up to $600.
  • Following a 30-day eviction notice, Efferson remains in the home and has not filed a formal court response, telling attorneys she felt 'harassed' and did 'not consent' to property inspections.
  • A judge will determine if the oral agreement is terminable and whether Efferson must vacate the premises, with the filing valuing the home's fair rental use at $275 per day.
