Pamela Anderson claims Sylvester Stallone offered ‘condo and Porsche’ to be his ‘number one girl’
Pamela Anderson sensationally claims Sylvester Stallone offered her a ‘condo and a Porsche to be his number one girl ‘ in searing scenes from her documentary, Pamela, a Love Story.
The Baywatch star, 55, whose tell-all documentary will drop on Netflix on January 31, says she spurned the Rocky icon, 76, as she was looking for real love – but Stallone has branded the claims ‘false and fabricated.’
The New York Post reports Pamela says in the film: ‘He offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his No. 1 girl.
Oh my! Pamela Anderson sensationally claims Sylvester Stallone offered her a ‘condo and a Porsche to be his number one girl ‘ in searing scenes from her documentary, Pamela, a Love Story (pictured 2007)
‘And I was like, “Does that mean there’s No. 2? Uh-uh.”‘.
She claims Stallone retorted: ‘That’s the best offer you’re gonna get, honey. You’re in Hollywood now.’
She added: ‘I wanted to be in love. I didn’t want anything less than that.’
It is not clear when the alleged incident took place – she shot to fame on Baywatch in 1992 and she and Stallone happily posed up together at an event in 2007.
Spurned: She claims Stallone retorted: ‘That’s the best offer you’re gonna get, honey. You’re in Hollywood now’ – but the actor has denied her claims (pictured 2007)
Stallone’s representative told the publication: ‘The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated. Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement.’
Anderson has also been opening up about her current contact with ex Tommy Lee, 60, in a candid chat on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show on Wednesday. The pair were married from 1995-1998.
She said: ‘Just a text here and there, nothing too crazy, he’s married and happy and she’s good to him and I want to support that.’

She added: ‘I hate to be annoying and go through that again and I’m sure she’s annoyed, but respect their relationship and I’m glad he’s happy and has someone in his life.
‘They see each other all the time. This movie is like a love letter to their parents, they know they came from real love and they get to see the real story
‘The sex tape took its toll on the relationship, it took its toll on my career and people are still capitalizing off that.’

The star also slated acclaimed Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which starred Lily James and Sebastian Stan.
She said: ‘I remember seeing this advert for Pam & Tommy and was like, what? No-one called me, I’m still alive, no-one asked me, it’s nothing to do with me.
‘I felt kinda run over by that one. I don’t think they portrayed Tommy or I very accurately. I haven’t seen it but I’ve heard from people that it’s a very shallow representation of us. I wish they would’ve called.
‘I don’t think I would have wanted to be involved, especially with that subject matter, why? Why bring it all up again.
The blonde bombshell’s forthcoming documentary follows her rise to fame, relationships and the sex scandal ‘in her own words,’ according to a Netflix synopsis.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Pamela explained in the film that she had ‘nightmares,’ when her sons Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25, had informed her that a series was being made based on her and ex-husband, Tommy Lee’s, ‘stolen tape.’
The star further admitted, ‘I have no desire to watch it. I never watched the tape, I’m never going to watch this.’
The ‘home videos’ had been stolen from a safe located in Pamela and Tommy’s garage during their marriage, and put together to create the infamous ‘sex tape,’ that caused a media frenzy.
True love: She said: ‘Just a text here and there, nothing too crazy, he’s married and happy and she’s good to him and I want to support that (the former couple seen in 1997)
‘What they did is they found all the nudity they could from different Hi8 tapes, and they spliced it together,’ the actress stated in the documentary.
The show followed their tumultuous relationship, along with the ‘stolen tapes.’
After the final episode aired in March 2022, the series received critical acclaim, along with garnering a total of ten Primetime Emmy nominations and four Golden Globe nominations.
However, in the Netflix documentary, Pamela reveals that she wasn’t a fan that the series was made, and her two sons, whom she shares with Tommy, also supported their mother.
‘Why bring something up from 20 years ago that you know f***ed someone up?’ Dylan, her youngest, could be seen asking in the film. ‘The worst part of her life and making a semi-comedy out of it didn’t make sense.’
Pamela continued to voice her opinion, expressing that her ‘permission’ should have been asked to create the show, adding that, ‘nobody really knows what we were going through at the time.’
When further recalling the past incident, she stated, ‘I blocked that out of my life. I had to in order to survive, really. It was a survival mechanism. And now that it’s all coming up again, I feel sick.’

Pamela added in the documentary excerpt, ‘This feels like when the tape was stolen. Basically, you’re just a thing owned by the world, like you belong to the world.’
The former model previously announced the news of the forthcoming documentary by uploading a picture on Instagram of a handwritten note with the Netflix logo at the very top, along with a lipstick kiss mark at the bottom.
The Baywatch actress wrote, ‘My life/ A thousand imperfections/ A million misperceptions/ Wicked, wild and lost/ Nothing to live up to /I can only surprise you /Not a victim, but a survivor /And alive to tell the real story,’ followed by her signature.
In an excerpt shared by People earlier last week from her memoir, Love, Pamela, the star opened up about her marriage to Tommy, and the effect of the ‘stolen tapes.’
The blonde bombshell and Motley Crue drummer had initially tied the knot in 1995, even though the two had only known each other for a total of four days. ‘We just wanted to have babies and be together forever,’ she had written.
She said: ‘I felt kinda run over by that one. I don’t think they portrayed Tommy or I very accurately. I haven’t seen it but I’ve heard from people that it’s a very shallow representation of us. I wish they would’ve called’
‘My relationship with Tommy may have been the only time I was ever truly in love,’ Pamela added.
When talking about the sex tape scandal, she emotionally penned, ‘It ruined lives, starting with our relationship,’ adding that it was, ‘unforgivable that people, still to this day, think they can profit from such a terrible experience, let alone a crime.’
Towards the end of their marriage, Tommy had been arrested due to ‘spousal abuse’ and served six months in a Los Angeles County Jail in 1998. She recalled the incident that had made her call the police, explaining that the drummer had ‘twisted her arm’ while she was holding their son Dylan.
‘Tommy ripped Brandon off me and threw me and Dylan into a wall,’ she penned in the memoir, adding that, ‘Our hell began.’
Later that same year, their divorce was finalized, which Pamela wrote, ‘was the hardest, lowest, most difficult point of my life. I was crushed. I still couldn’t believe that the person I loved the most was capable of what had happened that night.’
The star added that, ‘We were both devastated, but I had to protect my babies,’ and despite their past, they still, ‘check in, every once in a while,’ with each other.
Claims: In another excerpt shared by Variety, Pamela made claims that actor Tim Allen flashed his genitals to her more than 30 years ago; the actor seen in December 2022 in West Hollywood
In another excerpt shared by Variety, Pamela made claims that actor Tim Allen flashed his genitals to her more than 30 years ago.
‘I would never do such a thing,’ Allen, 69, told the outlet earlier Sunday, saying that the incident Anderson described ‘never happened.’
The actress claimed that the incident occurred on the set of Home Improvement in 1991 when she was 23-years-old and he was 37. ‘On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe,’ said Anderson, who played the role of Lisa on the ABC sitcom, which starred Allen as Tim Taylor.
She continued, ‘He opened his robe and flashed me quickly – completely naked underneath.’
Anderson, who had previously posed for Playboy magazine, continued to describe the circumstances of the encounter: ‘He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.’

Several people killed in a condo shooting in Canada, police say
CNN
—
At least five people are believed to be dead after a shooting at a condominium in a Toronto suburb Sunday night, police said.
Officers responded to a weapons call in Vaughan, Ontario, with multiple victims, York Regional Police Constable Laura Nicolle told CNN, citing preliminary information.
The sole suspect died after an “interaction” with police, Nicolle said during a Sunday night news conference. She did not provide details about the circumstances of the suspect’s death.
The constable told CNN the incident was the “most terrible call I’ve seen in my entire career.”
Police did not share details on what led up to the shooting. Officers are searching the building for any additional victims, Nicolle said.
“It sounds as though there were more than one unit affected,” she said at the news conference.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
Downtown S.F.’s condo market is cratering, with units selling at reduced prices
San Francisco’s listless, post-COVID recovery is hammering the downtown condo market, with owners increasingly willing to sell at a discount amid ongoing tech layoffs and office closures, according to a new report from the real estate brokerage Compass.
Median condo sales prices in the greater downtown and South of Market district — which includes Civic Center, SoMa, Mission Bay, Yerba Buena and South Beach — are down 16.5% from a year ago, according to the report. Since December of last year, the condo median sales price dropped from $1.475 million to $1.23 million in those neighborhoods.
The drop in the median prices in downtown neighborhoods was double that of other parts of the city. Outside of downtown, median price of condos dropped 7% in the last year, while single family homes dropped 7.5%.
While real estate brokerages tend to be rosy in their marketing materials, the Compass report doesn’t sugarcoat the current situation. It concludes that the drop in demand is being driven by “a triple whammy of economic, demographic and quality-of-life issues.”
“I knew that market segment had weakened but I didn’t realize the degree to which things had changed,” said Patrick Carlisle, chief market analyst for Compass. “It was a bit shocking.”
The problems are both macro and micro.
On the national level you have a declining stock market, rising interest rates and inflation. Meanwhile downtown San Francisco is lagging other cities in office occupancy, and the lack of foot traffic is crippling small business and making the streets feel less safe. The highrise housing that sprouted South of Market Street over the last 20 years was meant to serve the hundreds of thousands of workers who flooded into the city each morning. With those jobs gone remote, demand for housing has waned.
“San Francisco went from being the hottest office market in the world to just about the weakest,” said Carlisle.
Two recent reports of sales at Lumina, a two-tower luxury complex South of Market, show how the market has shifted, according to an analysis by Socketsite, an online publication that tracks San Francisco real estate.
The first involves a 1,791 square foot, three-bedroom, three-bath unit on the 32nd floor of the tower at 338 Main St. That unit sold for $3.25 million in May of 2016 and then traded again in August of 2019 for $3.5 million. In September of this year it hit the block again with a listing price of $3.15 million, before finally selling in November for $2.68 million, a drop of 23.4% since 2019.
Meanwhile a two-bedroom unit in the same tower is being marketed at $2.6 million, which, if it sells at that price, would represent a 21% decrease from its 2016 price of $3.295 million.
While the current market presents an opportunity for buyers, the rise of interest rates to a 20-year high offsets whatever savings might be gained through the lower price point, Carlisle said. But for buyers with cash for a down payment, or those willing to gamble that they will be able to refinance at a lower interest rate down the road, there are opportunities.
“This is a great time for buyers to negotiate extremely aggressively,” he said. “If you see a unit you like just ignore the asking price and decide what you are willing to pay for it. There are a lot of sellers who just want to move on. If they are able to close a deal, they will, even if it is far below expectations.”
Realtor Kevin Birmingham of Park North Real Estate said the report is consistent with what he is seeing around the city. He just sold one condo in the Twin Peaks area that was marketed at $695,000. It closed at $680,000. The seller expected to get $800,000.
As such, many would-be sellers are looking to rent their units. “Listing are getting withdrawn and going straight onto the rental market,” Birmingham said.
Gregg Lynn of Sotheby’s International Realty, who focuses on the luxury condo market, said the optimism of 2021 — when San Franciscans were getting vaccinated and starting to feel comfortable in crowds again — has given was to uncertainty.
Some families who bought before the pandemic expecting to split their time between San Francisco and wine country or Tahoe have found they don’t have much reason to come to the city. Others bought downtown condos to be near their children and grandchildren, only to have their offspring leave the city.
“A lot of our clients are not using their condos as much as they thought they would,” he said.

Miami Beach condo evacuated over structural concerns
CNN
—
A Miami Beach, Florida, condominium building was evacuated Thursday after a structural inspection, with residents given just hours to leave.
City officials posted an unsafe structure notice on the Port Royale building and said damage to a concrete beam in the parking garage prompted the order for residents to leave immediately, CNN affiliate WPLG.
The order comes more than a year after 98 people were killed in nearby Surfside when a large portion of the Champlain Towers South building collapsed in the middle of the night.
Photos in an inspection report of the Miami Beach building evacuated this week show evidence of structural damage and water leaking near electrical junctions, according to the document provided to WPLG.
Inspectors said it is estimated repair work will take 10 days before the building would be ready for another inspection to see if residents can return, the report states.
The Port Royale has 164 units, WPLG reported.
Theresa Velasquez identified as the voice in Surfside condo collapse rubble
The question of her identity remained a sobering loose end for the fire department for months after the disaster. Officials now say the woman was Theresa Velasquez, a 36-year-old music executive from Los Angeles who was visiting her parents. Julio Cesar Velasquez, 67, and his wife, Angela Maria, 60 — who lived in unit 304 — also died in the collapse.
Velasquez spent much of her career in the music industry, the Miami Herald reported. After going to NYU to earn her master’s in music business, she went on to work for a few record labels. She eventually landed at Live Nation, where she worked for six years and was the senior vice president of strategic partnerships. Throughout her career, Velasquez worked to create more visibility and inclusivity for the LGBTQ community in the music industry, according to the Herald. In 2020, Billboard included her on its top executives list for Pride Month.
Following her death, colleagues in the music industry praised Velasquez for her work. Tracy Young, a producer, DJ and composer, said Velasquez was integral to the music communities in Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
“I feel I lost a sister and don’t understand why you were taken so young, with your whole life ahead of you,” she wrote in a Facebook tribute to Velasquez. “I enjoyed watching another female DJ take over the DJ and music community. … Your talent and spirit has touched many and we will never forget!”
The fire department’s findings, first reported by WFOR, refute a USA Today network reporter’s account of the rescue attempt, which identified the victim as Valeria Barth — a 14-year-old who was in the unit directly below the Velasquez family. The new report from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, dated April 25, is based on “testimonial and physical evidence,” Deputy Fire Chief Raied S. Jadallah wrote.
A spokeswoman for Gannett, which owns USA Today, said the company is “reviewing the new report from MDFR.”
“The facts and the sourcing in our story are clear. We have no additional comment at this time,” she added in a statement to The Washington Post.
Responders on the scene gave differing accounts about the voice they heard coming from under the rubble. Some reported hearing the person say she was from unit 204, while others recalled hearing 304. Barth and her family had been visiting from Colombia and were staying in unit 204.
“[It] was challenging to hear the woman because of the distance,” the report from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue states, adding that rescue crews said they could communicate with her only “when all operations ceased, and everyone was silenced.”
“Even the faintest whisper from the rescue crews or sloshing in the standing water negated any ability to hear the woman,” the report adds.
In describing the voice, rescuers also noted that the woman spoke English with no accent. Video footage of Velasquez reviewed by officials matched her speaking style, the report says.
Barth’s native language is Spanish, the report notes.
The voice also sounded as if it belonged to an adult, rescuers said. Additionally, the person said she was visiting her parents and “remained calm when communicating with the rescuers,” according to the report.
Emergency responders finally found and extricated Velasquez’s body on July 8, two weeks after the collapse.
Velasquez’s brother, David, told WFOR that he accepts the findings from the report.
“There is no way to know 100 percent,” he said, “but it seems like the logical conclusion.”
Surfside Condo Collapse Victims Reach $997 Million Settlement
MIAMI — Families of the victims of the collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium in Surfside, Fla., that killed 98 people last year have reached a $997 million settlement to compensate them for their staggering losses of life.
The settlement, revealed at a court hearing on Wednesday and still pending final approval, includes insurance companies, developers of an adjacent building and other defendants in the extensive civil case. It comes six weeks before the first anniversary of the tragedy on June 24.
“I’m shocked by this result — I think it’s fantastic,” said Judge Michael A. Hanzman of the Circuit Court in Miami-Dade County. “This is a recovery that is far in excess of what I had anticipated.”
Before Wednesday’s surprise announcement, the judge had approved a far smaller settlement of $83 million to be split among condo unit owners for their property losses. No compensation had been determined for the families of the dead, who would now receive the $997 million.
“It represents a lot of money, but it’s never going to bring back Jonah’s mom,” said Neil Handler, whose son was one of just a few people rescued alive from the rubble. Jonah Handler’s mother, Stacie Fang, 54, was the first victim identified in the collapse.
“Nobody can deal with what I dealt with last Sunday on Mother’s Day — that’s not something any money is ever going to replace for him,” Mr. Handler said of his son, who is now 16 and suffered fractures to many bones in his back.
How the money will be divided among the relatives of the 98 victims will be determined in the coming weeks. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is still investigating what caused the 13-story, 135-unit building to partially crumble in the middle of the night, a review that could take years.
The differing compensation for victims’ families, who lost loved ones, and survivors, who lost condo units, led to significant friction between the groups and to raw, emotional court testimony at a hearing in March that pitted the two sides against each other.
“We know we did not cause that collapse,” Oren Cytrynbaum, a unit owner, said then. “A billion dollars, if I were on the other side, would not bring those loved ones back.”
The funds for the $83 million for the unit owners will come from Champlain Towers South’s insurers and the sale of the land where the building stood at 8777 Collins Ave. The nearly two acres of beachfront property are expected to sell soon, after an auction, for at least $120 million.
As part of their earlier settlement, the condo owners were released from any liability for negligence in the building’s maintenance. Under Florida law, they could have been sued for up to the value of their units.
At first, any settlement seemed unlikely. Some victims’ families argued all the money recovered through the lawsuit should go to them, and none to the unit owners. Judge Hanzman disagreed, saying unit owners had to rebuild their lives from scratch after their steep economic losses. The part of the building that did not collapse was demolished in the days after the tragedy, with unit owners never able to return.
Judge Hanzman approved that $83 million settlement in March, with no guarantee that more money would follow for the victims’ families — and the possibility of a long, dragged-out trial that could last years, as many class-action cases do.
The much larger settlement for the victims’ families made public on Wednesday came about after the developers of the adjacent luxury building, Eighty Seven Park, and a slew of contractors and consultants who had been sued or investigated by the victims’ lawyers signed on. The plaintiffs had argued that construction work at Eighty Seven Park damaged Champlain Towers South — an accusation that Eighty Seven Park’s developers and contractors denied.
Lawyers said the settlement for the victims’ families could expand further, to about $1 billion, if they reach an agreement with a remaining company. Among the companies that agreed to settle are the engineers who had inspected and begun to conduct work to address serious structural flaws in Champlain Towers South before the collapse.
The companies will not admit to wrongdoing as part of the settlement. But Judd G. Rosen, one of the lawyers for the families of the victims who did not own condo units, said the settlement numbers “speak for themselves.”
“It’s a step in the right direction towards bringing them a sense of dignity and accountability for what happened,” he said of victims’ families. “A billion dollars doesn’t get paid without some sense of accountability for this loss.”
In all, the total amount recovered for both the victims’ families and the survivors could surpass $1.1 billion.
Judge Hanzman said he would like to finalize the settlement before June 24 and compensate survivors and victims’ families by the fall.
Susana Alvarez, 62, a survivor of the collapse, said she and other unit owners have received no information about when they would actually receive that money.
“A lot of us need to buy homes; we’re literally living with relatives,” she said, adding that she just wanted to move on from that horrific day.
“I’m alive, thank God,” she said. “We just want to be at peace.”
Pablo Rodriguez, who lost his mother, Elena Blasser, 64, and grandmother, Elena Chavez, 88, in the collapse, said that he had mixed emotions about the settlement.
“I think it’s the best result that we could hope for given the situation,” Mr. Rodriguez said, though “there’s really no amount of money that makes everything right.”
Almost a year later, Mr. Rodriguez, 41, said the death of his loved ones still feels unreal, and haunting.
“That video of the building falling,” he said, “it still wakes me up at night.”
Nearly $1 billion settlement announced in deadly Surfside condo collapse
A nearly $1 billion settlement in last year’s shocking collapse of a Miami Beach-area condo building was unexpectedly announced during a routine status conference in a Florida courtroom Wednesday afternoon.
Lawyers involved in the class-action lawsuit representing tenants from the oceanfront building in Surfside announced a $997 million settlement had been reached.
Upon the news, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman said he was “speechless.”
“That’s incredible news,” the judge said.
“I’m shocked by this result — I think it’s fantastic,” the judge told the courtroom. “This is a recovery that is far in excess of what I had anticipated.”
Litigation stemming from the catastrophic collapse in June 2021, which killed 98 people, had been moving slowly as the first anniversary approached.
The 12-story residential building partially collapsed around 1:15 a.m. on June 24 at the Champlain Towers South condominium in the beachside town of Surfside, about 6 miles north of Miami Beach. Approximately 55 of the oceanfront complex’s 136 units were destroyed, authorities said.
The final victim’s remains were identified more than a month later, on July 26, following a massive search and rescue mission that become a recovery operation.
The victims killed ranged from young children to elderly couples, and included families, longtime Surfside residents and tourists staying in the building.
“Some of the victims can never recover from this loss and we know that,” Hanzman said in court.
The settlement will cover families of those who died as well as survivors, according to lawyers on the case.
The judge said he wants the whole settlement finalized by the one-year anniversary on June 24, with payouts made by the fall. Motions for preliminary approval will be due no longer than a week from Wednesday.
“My goal was to do everything humanly possible to conclude this case by the first anniversary of the collapse,” he said.
All funds for the victims will go through the receivership.
“Today is one of those days in a career that I think we’re going to look back on,” attorney Michael Goldberg, the court-appointed receiver who will oversee the payouts, said in court.
One of the lead attorneys in the case, Judd Rosen, told ABC News that the settlement “represents accountability from a lot of different players.”
“It’s the largest settlement from a single incident in U.S. history,” Rosen said. “The number itself implies significant accountability on what happened.”
Plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit argued that the poor construction and maintenance of Champlain Towers South turned catastrophic with the development of a new luxury tower next door.
“CTS [Champlain Towers South] was an older building in need of routine repairs and maintenance, but it was not until excavation and construction began on the luxury high-rise condominium project next door, known as ‘Eighty-Seven Park,’ that CTS became so badly damaged and destabilized as to be unsafe,” the lawsuit stated. “First, the developers of Eighty-Seven Park improperly obtained the right to build higher and larger than originally entitled, including by buying a public street just a few feet from CTS’s foundation. Then they undertook destructive excavation and site work dangerously close to CTS, sloped their project so that water poured into CTS and corroded its structural supports, and drove sheet piles 40 feet into the ground, causing tremors and vibrations at such high levels that they cracked tiles and walls at CTS and shook the structure.”
Owners and insurers of Eighty-Seven Park had consistently denied any responsibility for the collapse.
Defendants named in the lawsuit included the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association and developers involved in the Eighty-Seven Park project.
The Champlain Condominium Towers South was built in 1981. It was in the process of a county-mandated inspection for commercial and residential buildings 40 years after they’re constructed when the building came crashing down.
In the wake of the collapse, Miami-Dade County inspected more than 500 buildings that were approaching the 40-year recertification deadline to identify any obvious structural concerns.

Inside Pete Davidson’s Staten Island condo with Kim Kardashian
It’s a Staten Island love nest.
Pete Davidson, 28, moved out of his mother’s basement and into his own luxury condo, where he’s been cozying up with his latest paramour, Kim Kardashian, 41.
In an exclusive video obtained by Page Six, the divorcée was recently spotted leaving his Staten Island condo through the side door following a weekend of low-key dates.
Kardashian, fresh off her bombshell split from Kanye West, attempted to leave Davidson’s place incognito in a black hat and all-black ensemble as she made her way into an SUV.
Sources told Page Six that Kardashian was at Davidson’s condo throughout their romantic weekend despite her having a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Financial District. Following their weekend at his condo, Davidson was also spotted leaving the KKW Beauty founder’s hotel.
The two have been linked together following Kardashian’s appearance on “SNL” in October 2021, when they shared a smooch in character, but were soon after seen holding hands at Knott’s Berry Farm in California.
Page Six revealed that Davidson also treated the reality TV mogul to a private dinner on the roof of Campania on Staten Island, where they were able to enjoy a romantic meal sans security. She then brought Davidson as her plus-one to Simon Huck’s birthday party at Zero Bond.
The unlikely playboy purchased his waterfront condo for $1.2 million in December 2020, The Post can report.
Here’s a look inside, where the sparks have been flying between the odd couple.
With two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, the residence is situated on the water and boasts panoramic views overlooking Manhattan.
Davidson got his own place four years after he snagged a $1.3 million Staten Island abode in 2016 for his mom, Amy Waters. Davidson had been living in the basement of the home until December, when he moved into a high-rise.
But the “King of Staten Island” is still remaining close to home — and is proud of it. He’s been showing Kardashian his favorite local haunts, including Angelina’s Ristorante, where they posed for a photo with the owner.
Davidson purchased the condo on Staten Island through an LLC, property records show.
A rep for Davidson has not yet responded to The Post’s request for comment.
In the original listing, photos show a Hawaiian-themed bathroom and a purple-painted kitchen.
One of the two bedrooms is pictured with bunkbeds — no word yet on whether the bunks remain in Davidson’s current design.
During a Zoom call posted to TikTok in April, Davidson revealed that he moved out of his mom’s place.
“I just moved out of my mom’s house,” he said as he scrambled for his keys. “I’m fully out. I got a pad.”
According to the listing, the condo is described as a “pinnacle of luxury lifestyle living.”
The home features soaring ceilings, tall windows with an abundance of natural light and a private terrace.
Other features of the home include an open layout plan, a redesigned kitchen with a peninsula seating area, quartz countertops and a unique “waterfall” installation.
The master suite boasts a bath with a marble vanity, Jacuzzi tub, separate shower and a walk-in closet with a private door to the terrace.
Building amenities include secured doorman entry, a residents’ lounge, fitness center, children’s playground and grilling stations.
Laird Klein of Sotheby’s International Realty held the listing.
