In 2023, Fleischman was accused of squatting in a Hollywood Hills house. The owner had made an agreement with Fleischman to rent the house for occasional dinner parties as a way to generate revenue - she would provide the house and he would provide clients. However according to Fleischman, he had a verbal agreement to also live there, and because there was no rental agreement, he was not legally required to pay rent. He left only after she was assisted by a professional "squatter remover" by the name of Flash Shelton, founder of Squatter Hunters.
