Are Mary-Kate and Ashley bad neighbors?
New Yorkers usually don't get too impressed by star sightings, but in the case of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's neighbors, they're downright disgruntled. The twins, who've rented in a West 13th Street brownstone for $12,000 a month, reportedly are "disruptive, intrusive and totally disrespectful." One neighbor told The New York Post's Page Six that the chic siblings are "two spoiled brats" who have "changed the character of the neighborhood" with their big cars and numerous bodyguards. "You would think there was a government operation going on," fumed another resident. Neighbors are even less impressed because other bold-faced names like Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler and Gisele Bündchen live in the hood and "are good neighbors and blend in." But there's one saving grace: The situation is only temporary. "The good news is that it's only a rental," said the insider, "and we all hope it's not a long-standing one." A rep for the Olsens told Page Six, "If there were significant issues, you'd think the neighbors would address Ashley or Mary-Kate directly, rather than calling the media."
