Gigi and Bella Hadid’s father, Mohamed Hadid, is facing jail time for illegally building his extravagant Bel-Air mansion.
The property developer reportedly refused to halt construction to the house, dubbed ‘Starship Enterprise’, or remove unapproved additions – such as guest bedrooms and, you know, the old 70 seat underground Imax home cinema.
The father-of-five has pleaded not guilty to the three charges against him, which means he could face up to six months jail time, according to The Telegraph.
“Demolish this house? Never! That would really cause problems: the trucks, the dirt, the dust, the noise, the hauling. It could take years. That would be insane,” Mohamed told Town & Country.
“This house will last forever. Bel-Air will fall before this will.”
The 68-year-old decided not to attend court earlier this week, choosing instead for his attorney Robert Shapiro (whose name you probably recognise from the O.J. Simpson trial) to represent him.
