When California’s wildfires forced evacuations across Los Angeles earlier this year, celebrity homes became sanctuaries or heartbreaking losses for many. Among the stories from this chaotic time is one involving actress Zoe Kravitz, her mother Lisa Bonet, and a surprising guest who almost caused major damage at Taylor Swift’s home.
A Generous Offer Turns into a Chaotic Adventure
Taylor Swift opened her beautiful 1930s Los Angeles house to Zoe Kravitz and Lisa Bonet during the devastating wildfires. The duo had to stay at the property for nearly two weeks while Swift was away. Swift’s house is famously elegant and cherished, something you want to preserve and take great care of, Kravitz said during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Lisa Bonet, ever the unconventional companion, brought along her pet snake Orpheus as part of their evacuation essentials. All seemed well until the final day of their stay, when Kravitz was preparing to leave for work, and Bonet was staying a bit longer. Eager to be a considerate guest, Kravitz expressed hope that Swift would never even know they had been there.
The Bathroom Incident That Led to Damage
What happened next was nothing short of a Hollywood drama. Lisa Bonet accidentally let the snake loose inside the bathroom—a classic “houseguest nightmare.” According to Kravitz, while Bonet was washing her face, she placed Orpheus down and closed the door, unaware the snake had found a tiny hole in a corner of the bathroom. The snake then disappeared into that gap, leaving only part of its tail visible.
