Despite the initial tension, both women found humor in the situation, showcasing their bond during a challenging time marked by California wildfires.
Beverly Hills, California – Zoe Kravitz recently shared a humorous anecdote about accidentally causing damage to Taylor Swift’s estate during a stay prompted by the California wildfires. The incident, which has since become a topic of lighthearted conversation, unfolded while Kravitz and her mother, Lisa Bonet, were evacuated from their home due to the fires.
Swift generously opened the doors of her vacant 1934 Beverly Hills mansion, offering them a temporary refuge while she was away. Kravitz had initially intended to leave the property in perfect condition, but the unexpected antics of Bonet’s pet snake turned the situation upside down. During their stay, the snake, named Orpheus, managed to slip into a hole located in the bathroom wall, prompting a frantic rescue attempt.
In a comedic confrontation, one of Swift’s employees was called upon to assist in recovering the snake. Unfortunately, in the process of retrieving the reptile, significant damage was inflicted on the property. An ax was used on both a vintage banquette and the bathroom tile, resulting in a considerable mess. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Kravitz implored the staff not to notify Swift of the damages until they could arrange for repairs to be made.
After three weeks, Swift received confirmation of the incident from Kravitz, as coincidentally, the time taken for repairs to the damaged cabinetry overlapped with this confession. Swift’s reaction was one of amusement rather than anger, confirming that she had learned about the chaos beforehand from her security team. Swift described the absurdity of the event as “too funny” to warrant any frustration, emphasizing her delight in the quirky narrative that had emerged from the ordeal.
The historic estate where the incident occurred holds significant importance in the realm of architecture, having previously belonged to studio mogul Samuel Goldwyn. Today, it stands as one of Swift’s most prominent properties and reflects her personal taste and style. This twist of fate has not only brought laughter to Swift but also added an unforgettable chapter to the mansion’s storied history.
The situation turned chaotic as Kravitz and Bonet struggled to manage Orpheus’s escape while simultaneously dealing with the collateral damage to the elegant home. Swift, who had been aware of the ensuing laughter surrounding the aftermath of the snake incident long before Kravitz’s disclosure, found herself sharing in the incredulity of the story. The light-heartedness of the event further underscores a unique bond between the two acquaintances during an otherwise tense time marked by natural disaster.
Ultimately, this amusing snake saga serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life, especially in the face of calamities such as wildfires. Kravitz’s experience continues to elicit laughter as it exemplifies the remarkable, at times absurd, narratives that emerge from unexpected situations. As the smoke settled, both Kravitz and Swift can now look back on the strange circumstances with a sense of humor, knowing that friendship—and perhaps a little chaos—can arise even in challenging times.
