Please Don’t Smoke Weed Around Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff tried to publicly shame her neighbor for smoking weed and then s**t went down for real.

First, Duff took to her Instagram stories and simply asked for advice. “Calling all New Yorkers with asshole neighbors—really open to any advice you have,” said the 30-year-old mom. “My neighbor smokes cigarettes and weed all night long. My apartment reeks. Seriously, what do I do?”

Simple enough. But it didn’t stop there. Next, she put the neighbor on blast by saying, “We know your parents pay your rent. We know you’ve never worked a day in your life—must be nice. Have some respect for your neighbors who work hard to live in that building. Don’t be a dick dude—and put your trash down the shoot.”

It gets worse.

She followed that up by calling out the dude by name (it’s Dieter Addison) and then stalking his Instagram, which is set to private. She posted a close-up photo of Dieter with cat tears and a message that read, “Found youuu. I know [you’re] still sleeping. I really hope your [hangover] hurts. Meowww Dieter meowww.”

Finally, she asked him to stop fighting with his girlfriend because “it scares me and my kid” while noting that “therapy is cheaper.” She also asked him to get a vape.

This all went down on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Duff’s boyfriend, Matt Koma, allegedly punched Dieter in the face after he refused to take his smoking outside.

If that all sounds a bit extreme, it’s because it is. Dieter thought so as well.

As a response to Duff’s Instagram video and the alleged assault, he plans on suing the Lizzie McGuire actress. Here’s what he told PageSix:

“I am getting a lot of hate mail and threats from her fans, it is so bad I’m going to have to get a bodyguard. I am from a very private German family and we are hiring lawyers.”

Addison claims that, while he does smoke cigarettes, he does not smoke weed, has been sober for months and lives with a sober companion. He also claims to work three jobs. That said, he is the grandson of H. Dieter Holterbosch, a German man who imported Lowenbrau beer to New York state and started a distribution network for other beers. So yeah, he’s still rich. In fact, his sober companion reportedly costs $1,000 per hour.

A rep for Duff released a statement to E! News.

“Hilary and her young son have been subjected to excessive secondhand smoke, late night noise, garbage in the hallways, and an overall hazardous living environment from this man for months now. She tried numerous times in polite ways to handle this situation including countless sessions with the landlords of the building. As every mother knows, protecting your kid has to come first and foremost and that is her primary goal. She reached a breaking point after a 15 hour work day and yet another sleepless night.”

Reps/sources for Duff and Koma deny Koma punched Addison. Addison maintains that Koma tried to punch him in the face, but he ducked. He was still hit in the head before shoving Koma out of the apartment.

In the end, everyone that lives in New York is still an asshole.
