West Zone Owner In Housing Dispute

Alleged Victims Claim Ownership of $10 Million Beverly Hills Home

A high-stakes legal battle is brewing in Beverly Hills, CA pitting a veteran NFL player and his wife against the former owner of the Cleveland Browns. The dispute centers around a $10 million home the Browns' former owner claims to have sold to the football star and his wife, but the couple denies any such purchase.

According to court documents, the former owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslam, alleges that he sold the Beverly Hills mansion to former Cleveland Browns player Joe Haden and his wife, Sarah, in 2021 for $9.975 million. Haslam claims that the Hadens have not paid the full purchase price and are now refusing to vacate the property.

The Hadens, on the other hand, deny purchasing the home from Haslam and claim that they are the rightful owners. They allege that they have been living in the home since 2017 under an agreement to buy the property from a trust controlled by Haslam's late father, Jim Haslam.

The legal battle is expected to be complex and could have significant financial implications for both parties. Haslam is seeking to have the Hadens evicted from the property and to collect the remaining purchase price. The Hadens are countersuing, seeking to quiet title to the property and to have Haslam's claims dismissed.

The case is currently in its early stages, and it is unclear how it will be resolved. However, the dispute has already generated significant media attention and is likely to continue to do so as it progresses through the legal system.
