Disgraced Director Paul Haggis Might Lose Apartment

Director Paul Haggis lost his sexual assault civil trial last year, and now he may lose his apartment.

The company that owns the building in which Haggis’ Soho apartment is located asked the court this week for permission to take the Oscar-winning director to tenant court or foreclose on his property, claiming he is more than $24,000 behind in maintenance payments.

The multimillion-dollar pad is currently the source of a battle between Haggis and publicist Haleigh Breest, who brought the lawsuit that resulted in the “Crash” director being found liable for sexually assaulting her and put him on the hook for a $12 million judgment. Breest, who claims Haggis sexually assaulted her after a film premiere in 2013, has asked the court to make Haggis sell the apartment to pay off that debt. She is also seeking proceeds from Haggis’ ex-wife’s sale of an apartment on West Broadway in 2019.
