Da'Vine Joy Randolph Takes Landlord to Court Over $17K/Month 'Luxury' Nightmare

Da'Vine Joy Randolph isn't staying quiet about a living situation gone wrong. The actress—coming off an Oscar win—is suing her landlord over a luxury rental that allegedly turned into a mess, according to court filings.

Randolph claims she was paying $17,000 a month for what was supposed to be a high-end spot, but instead dealt with pest infestations and constant plumbing problems. That's the kind of disrespect you don't expect when you're dropping that kind of bread on rent.

She's taking action against a leasing company to hold somebody accountable. It's a solid reminder that even when you got money and accolades, some landlords still treat tenants like they don't matter—and sometimes you gotta drag them into court to get them to act right.

The details are still coming into focus, but this is the kind of story that hits different when you remember Randolph's been putting in real work and deserves better than that level of negligence.
