Los Angeles, CA – In a surprising turn of events, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and international pop sensation Nick Jonas have been compelled to leave their opulent $20 million mansion in Los Angeles due to severe water damage and mold infestation. The couple, who purchased the lavish property in September 2019, has been entangled in a legal dispute with the seller since May of last year.
Reportedly, the troubles began to surface around April 2020 when issues with the pool and spa emerged, including 'porous waterproofing' that facilitated mold contamination and related problems, as outlined in the lawsuit filed in May 2023 and exclusively obtained by Page Six. A water leak at the barbecue area on the deck further compounded the challenges, causing damage to a portion of the interior living space below.
The lawsuit paints a grim picture of the property's condition, describing it as "virtually unlivable" and posing health hazards. Consequently, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and their two-year-old daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, have vacated the premises and relocated to another residence. The current status of their legal battle remains ongoing.
The couple's Los Angeles mansion, a testament to luxury and extravagance, boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine room, an indoor basketball court, an interior bowling alley, a home theater, an entertainment lounge, a spa with a steam shower, a full-service gym, and a billiards room. Priyanka has previously shared glimpses of their dream home on her Instagram.
The lawsuit filed by the celebrity couple seeks substantial damages from the seller, alleging that the property's condition has led to considerable harm and requires the rescinding of the purchase and sale agreement. The attorneys representing Priyanka and Nick have indicated that they are pursuing "consequential damages," including the reimbursement of repair costs, compensation for the loss of use, and other damages caused by the seller's conduct. While the exact financial ramifications are yet to be determined, the lawsuit estimates that the waterproofing issues alone will exceed $1.5 million, with additional 'general damages' reaching an estimated $2.5 million. The legal proceedings are closely watched, given the high-profile nature of the involved parties and the potential precedent it could set for celebrity real estate transactions.
