Actress Megan Fox says she got duped into buying a Malibu home that turned out to be an unpleasant place.

The actress has filed a $5 million (Dh18 million) lawsuit claiming Cynthia Pett-Dante, who manages actor Brad Pitt, was part of a seller’s group that convinced her to spend $3.2 million on a Malibu house in 2016, but had failed to mention it was riddled with major problems, reports tmz.com.

According to the court documents, Fox was pregnant at the time and was raising two toddlers. She was led to believe she was buying a “paradise in bucolic Malibu where she could raise her young family”.

Instead, Fox claims the home is a “nightmarish living hell”.

She says it’s on a slope that needs to be regraded, and a bunch of features are not up to code — including animal pens, a gazebo, stone walls, and a storage building for livestock feed.

According to the documents, there was also mould all over the house upon moving in, including in the master bedroom and bathroom and the children’s rooms.
