Zoë Kravitz and Lisa Bonet allegedly caused damage to Taylor Swift's residence.
In the midst of the devastating wildfires that hit Los Angeles earlier this year, actress Zoe Kravitz, her mother Lisa Bonet, and Bonet's pet snake, Orpheus, found a surprising refuge at Taylor Swift's home.
The snake, Orpheus, managed to slip into a small hole in one of the bathroom corners during their stay. This led to an unexpected rescue mission involving Kravitz, her aide, and the home's manager. To retrieve Orpheus, they had to dismantle parts of the banquette, tear apart built-in fixtures, rip up tile, and even scratch walls[1][2][3][5]. The bathroom, unfortunately, suffered significant damage in the process, effectively being destroyed[1][2].
Kravitz, aware of the damage, initially wanted to keep the incident from Swift. However, the singer was informed about the adventure with the snake and the damaged bathroom[1][2]. Kravitz, in her own words, shared that their conversation was friendly, with Swift acknowledging both the snake and the bathroom damage[1][2].
Kravitz expressed her intention to pay for the damages caused during the snake retrieval[1][3]. The house manager had to dismantle part of the bathroom to retrieve Orpheus[1][3]. Kravitz even asked Swift's staff not to tell their boss about the incident until the damages were repaired[1][3].
The wildfires were fuelled by long-standing drought and strong winds. In January, several large fires in the Los Angeles area destroyed thousands of homes and claimed several lives[4]. During their stay, Zoe Kravitz and Lisa Bonet were not alone, as Ashley Biden, daughter of Joe Biden, filed for divorce after 13 years[6].
Swift was not present during the wildfires, but she was able to laugh about the snake incident later on[1][2]. The fire department was overwhelmed in their efforts to contain the fires[4].
