David Cassidy Selling South Florida Home in Bankruptcy

This week on The Broke and the Beautiful, David Cassidy is selling off his house in bankruptcy, and Sonja Morgan gets to keep her New York City pad.

David Cassidy filed for bankruptcy in February, and now his house is going up for sale. As the South Florida Business Journal noted, the actor and singer’s Fort Lauderdale house is headed to an auction tentatively scheduled for Aug. 19. The house, which is getting sold off by Fisher Auction Co., has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a “magnificent chef’s kitchen” and a “resort-style pool.” Mr. Cassidy, best known for his role in the 1970s sitcom “The Patridge Family,” reported assets and debts each between $1 million and $10 million in his bankruptcy filing.

Sonja Morgan has come a long way from her November 2010 bankruptcy filing. As Bankruptcy Beat reported earlier this week, the “Real Housewives of New York City” star put the majority of her bankruptcy behind her when her chapter 11 plan went into effect earlier this month. And there’s a bonus: Ms. Morgan gets to keep her Manhattan townhouse, which she has fought to keep throughout her bankruptcy case. Ms. Morgan’s plan is paying off creditors including Hannibal Pictures Inc., with which she embarked on a movie project that ultimately ended up failing. Hannibal got nearly $7 million from Ms. Morgan’s bankruptcy estate.
