On a 2021 episode of “We Need To Talk About Britney,” former makeup artist Julianne Kaye described her experience with the singer.
“(Spears) had this place in Sunset Plaza — and I'm just going to say, that's really weird… She called me… Asked my friend to do a Reiki healing on her,” Kaye said at the time. “He came; I think she was having a crazy party weekend and needed to relax. He left, and I swore to God he opened a spiritual portal or something, and these evil spirits came in…and they were trying to, like, push her down the stairs or something crazy.
After that experience, Spears never returned home, instead staying at the Casa del Mar hotel, Kaye said.
“I know you're going to think I'm crazy,” she says. I'm not crazy. I know what I saw. “I know how you felt,” Kai added.
Murphy was also reported to be uncomfortable with the drug. In a 2010 interview with The Hollywood ReporterMonjack detailed the actress's discomfort with the house.
“I absolutely hated the Rising Glen house,” Monjack told the outlet. “Every time we drove to Sunset, Brett would say, ‘Please, can we stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel?’ I would say, ‘Honey, you have to be realistic. We have our own house, a 10,000-square-foot house. We’re going to stay there.’”
