A billionaire’s son and his graffiti-scarred mansions roiling Hollywood Hills

LA Times  

With its shattered windows and cartoonish graffiti, the mansion on Mulholland Drive sits like a gaping wound in the Hollywood Hills. “What’s happened to the two properties I own is unacceptable, and no matter what caused it, I own the houses,” Middleton said in his first statement since his homes gained national attention. “But the attackers, especially the squatters, have been relentless, and our security people were overwhelmed.” The Mulholland Drive home is the second mansion Middleton has apparently purchased in the Hollywood Hills and left vacant, according to property records and the LAPD. Two miles away from the Mulholland Drive home is Middleton’s second mansion — a four-story home on Sunset Plaza Drive — which is also covered with graffiti and a magnet for trespassers, according to neighbors. “The California properties are owned by John Powers Middleton,” the team’s statement said.
