‘7th Heaven’ star Jeremy London refutes claims that he is ‘homeless,’ fires back at celebrity news reporters: ‘Stupid’
Jeremy London has denied that he is homeless after a since-deleted post about possibly losing his job and home prompted headlines and concern. The actor said reports had exaggerated his situation, and criticised celebrity news coverage of social media posts.
London, 54, said he owns a condo in Florida but wanted to remain in Pennsylvania, where he had grown attached to the area. He explained that he was shocked and upset by his boss’s behaviour, and apologised for wording that caused confusion, while saying he was not destitute. In his original post, he said he might lose his job and home and was struggling to sleep and breathe; he has also said many actors need other jobs to make a living.
In short
- Jeremy London says he is not homeless and owns a Florida condo.
- He says reports overstated a post about possible job and housing loss.
- London criticised celebrity coverage of actors’ social media posts.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Celebrity reporters can argue that London’s original post explicitly raised the possibility of losing his job and home and described serious distress, making it reasonable to report the uncertainty and public concern it prompted. People following the story may also value timely coverage of a public figure’s own statements, provided reports make clear what was known at the time.
The case against
London can argue that headlines calling him homeless overstated his situation: he owns a Florida condo, was not destitute, and had hoped to stay in Pennsylvania rather than claiming he had nowhere to live. His apology for confusing wording and criticism of the coverage support the view that reporters should verify details and avoid turning an ambiguous post into a definitive claim about someone’s circumstances.
