Leonardo DiCaprio faced a lawsuit in 2007 brought by neighbors Ronald and Joan Linclau, who alleged that the construction of his custom basketball court in 2005 caused property damage. The plaintiffs claimed the project triggered structural problems and sought $250,000 in damages.
DiCaprio’s attorneys pushed back against the claims, arguing that the Linclaus were attempting to shift blame onto the actor. The two-year legal dispute came to an end after a California judge asked for more evidence, prompting both sides to reach a private, amicable settlement.
