Pop singer Stevie Wonder (76) has filed an eviction lawsuit against his ex-fiancée, who had been living in his home rent-free for approximately 40 years.

According to the U.S. entertainment outlet People on the 23rd (local time), Stevie Wonder filed a lawsuit on the 22nd at the Los Angeles County High Court demanding the eviction of Carmen Epperson.

Epperson is known as Stevie Wonder's ex-fiancée and has reportedly been living in a Los Angeles home owned by Stevie Wonder without paying rent for approximately 38 years since 1988.

According to the complaint obtained by People, Stevie Wonder and Epperson reached an oral agreement in 1988 allowing her to reside in the property. However, a conflict arose this summer over an on-site inspection required for maintaining home insurance.

Stevie Wonder's attorney notified Epperson on July 23 that an insurance company representative was scheduled to visit the home on the 30th of the same month to conduct an inspection.

However, Epperson refused two days later, claiming she was being harassed. She stated, "I will not allow anyone to enter the property without my permission for any reason," and declared that she would call the police if anyone entered without authorization.

In response, Stevie Wonder's side notified Epperson that she had 30 days to vacate the home, but it is reported that Epperson did not comply.

Ultimately, Stevie Wonder took legal action. His side argued that Epperson's continued occupation of the home was malicious and demanded the termination of the existing oral agreement and her eviction. They also sought attorney's fees and damages.

However, a final ruling by the court regarding the conflict between the two parties has not yet been issued. People reported that they requested statements from both Stevie Wonder and Epperson but did not receive a response.

Meanwhile, Stevie Wonder is a legendary American singer-songwriter who debuted in the 1960s and has released numerous hit songs such as "Isn't She Lovely," "I Just Called to Say I Love You," and "Superstition." He is beloved worldwide as a musician, having won a total of 25 Cha Rye (수상) at the Grammy Awards.
