Vincent Herbert Evicted From Luxury Rental Over Unpaid Rent

Earlier this month, it was reported that Tamar Braxton‘s estranged husband Vincent Herbert was slapped with a lawsuit for failing to pay rent on a Los Angeles condominium.

Now, according to a new report, a judge has ordered Vincent to vacate that property after he allegedly never responded to the suit, filed by the company NK Real Estate Investments.

Herbert was told to hand in the keys as soon as possible, which could be difficult to do based on all of the home’s amenities.

For example, the 3,430 square foot condo has three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a 75 foot pool, a Pilates studio, yoga studio, spa, a full state of the art gym, conference room, children’s playroom, movie room and a library.

The rent was a hefty $37,000 a month and the lease started in December 2018. NK Real Estate Investments said Herbert failed to pay February’s rent.

One month before that, Herbert was given three days by the plaintiffs to pay or vacate, and he left within that allotted time frame but wasn’t officially evicted. The amount of that suit was for $38,850, the cost of February’s rent, as well as additional charges.

Plus, in 2018 the company Townsgate Capital Corporation filed a lien against the mansion that Herbert shared with Braxton in Calabasas, Calif. before they split, and the company won a judgement of $104,031.57.

Around that same time, another company called University Limousine also filed a lien against the Calabasas property after they said Herbert owed them money for services given. They were awarded $113,861.71 in that case.

On top of that, the music executive and producer faced another suit by LDNX Records in August of 2018 for $380,000, which they said Herbert owes them after a business deal they had went sour.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
