Yahoo Lifestyle William H. Macy’s Bizarre Lawsuit Finally Comes to a Conclusion
William H. Macy's bizarre court case has finally come to a close.
The Shameless alum has settled the $600,000 suit brought against him by his neighbor, Pierce Brown, according to court documents obtained by People.
Brown has filed a Notice of Settlement with the Superior Court of Los Angeles, indicating that the two parties have officially reached an agreement over Brown's complaints. The details of that agreement, however, are unknown, though the documents do note that the agreement is “conditional,” pending the “satisfactory completion of specified terms” that were left unspecified.
The case between neighbors stems from a Dec. 2021 incident where Macy was accused of "knowingly and intentionally" instructing his landscapers to cut down Brown's trees, allegedly "seriously" damaging his property.
It wasn't until April 2023 that he filed the suit, seeking over half a million dollars in damages over the work that he said removed "several healthy, decades-old mature pine trees and other vegetation," damaged his gate and caused "damage to and destabilization of the hillside itself."
The amount Brown sought was said to include "loss of property value, loss of use and enjoyment of his property, a loss of privacy, an increase in noise, as well as emotional distress, irritation, annoyance, and discomfort."
Shortly after the suit was first filed, Macy's attorneys denied every allegation and called for the dismissal of the case with prejudice, claiming Brown was being “careless, reckless, and negligent in and about the matters and things alleged.”
That also suggested that any actions on the landscapers' parts were “committed due to an immediate and imperative necessity… to protect persons from death or serious bodily injury or to protect land or chattel from destruction or injury.”
