"I am not leaving the villa voluntarily!" the 42-year-old declares resolutely to several media outlets. Simone, who only married the entrepreneur in June of this year, describes the situation as "devastating" and shows a fighting spirit.

The Background of the Conflict

After the passing of the society lion known as "Mörtel," Richard Lugner, in August of this year, an inheritance dispute now seems to be brewing. The request to move out is likely coming from the family, particularly from Lugner's daughter Jacqueline, who works as the manager of Lugner City.

The Short Marriage with Consequences

Simone and Richard Lugner only married in June 2023. Thus, the marriage lasted only a few months before the 91-year-old construction entrepreneur passed away. Now, Simone apparently faces the problem that her legal position regarding the right to reside in the villa is not secured.

The Fight for the Home

Despite the request to move out, Simone Lugner remains determined: "I defy the eviction," says the widow of the construction entrepreneur. For her, it seems clear that she will take legal action to stay in the property she shared with her late husband.

Reactions from the Surroundings

There have been no official statements from the close circle of the deceased entrepreneur regarding the conflict. Observers of the Vienna society scene, however, are not surprised by the development, as Richard Lugner was known for his changing partnerships and family tensions are not new.

What happens next?

Whether Simone Lugner can actually stay in the villa or ultimately has to move out is likely to become a legal question. Experts suspect that it will depend on the exact provisions in the will and any prenuptial agreements.

For the young widow, the situation remains stressful. "It's devastating," she describes her feelings in light of the uncertain future in the house that was briefly her shared home with Richard Lugner.
