After buying the area out, when Pitt got to know that John had been living there even after his wife passed away, he left him alone and told him to live there free of rent.Peterson stated that “He (Pitt) was very, very kind to the husband. His wife passed away, and the husband, John, lived there. I know that Brad allowed him to live there without paying anything until he died.” She further joked that the agreement lasted quite a long time because John was lived a very long life. She further quipped that “I imagine Brad was thinking, ‘Well, you know, he can live there till he dies, which might be any minute now. ’” Brad Pitt later on sold the property for USD 40 million a few years ago.The Los Feliz mansion, which Peterson sold, was where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt resided and raised their 6 children, up until their divorce.

Peterson had also detailed on why she ended up selling the house in the first place. She stated that she felt that the mansion was haunted; however, that was also the very reason that Pitt ended up purchasing the property.

He thought that was really cool.”
