Documentary Highlights Accusations Against Alleged “Serial Squatter”

A “serial squatter” accused of exploiting California’s rental laws to pester Malibu residents has recently become the focus of a Hulu documentary series. The second episode of “Squatters: Get Out of My House,” titled “Paradise in Malibu,” features Ellie Mae McNulty, a British actress and screenwriter who has faced years of complaints from locals.

The series illustrates how McNulty allegedly broke into a home and then refused to vacate. Her actions reportedly included staying with Alden Marin, a stage IV cancer patient, under false pretenses. Initially, she told him it would just be for a few days while his home was finalized. However, those few days turned into a month, and the situation deteriorated, with her guests reportedly becoming rude and demanding.

According to sources, McNulty used Marin’s credit cards, changed the locks while he was in the hospital, and clogged plumbing by flushing items down the toilet. Additionally, she reportedly asked for $20,000 for her “services.”

Alden’s sister, Mindy Marin, described McNulty as a woman who seemed to understand how to manipulate situations to her advantage. “She has that kind of British actress charm,” she noted, adding that it put men at ease.

McNulty, however, has disputed the allegations, stating that she had locks changed while she was still living in the house. This controversy ties into California laws that complicate eviction processes, allowing long-term guests to have tenancy rights.

In 2022, Marin took McNulty to court, leading to a judge ordering her eviction. Furthermore, other residents have come forward, revealing that McNulty has been involved in various legal disputes over nearly two decades.

Reportedly, her past victims include an elderly widow and a yoga teacher, illustrating a pattern of manipulation. As for McNulty, Fox News Digital has reached out for her comments on these matters.
