sarah michelle gellar home sale raises eyebrows as buyers are forced to sign unusual non-disparagement clauses
Investors and industry insiders are scratching their heads this week after the quiet sale of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s longtime Los Angeles estate.

But the line that has skeptics buzzing? Every potential buyer was required to sign a sweeping non-disparagement agreement, prohibiting any public discussion about "conditions, history, or negotiations" related to the sale. When pressed, listing agents cited standard celebrity privacy protections. However, veteran real estate analysts question why a routine transaction would demand such airtight gag orders if "nothing unusual happened."
