Ellie Mae McNulty, a British actress and screenwriter, is featured in episode 2 of the Hulu docuseries "Squatters: Get the F*** Out of My House," which highlights her alleged history of squatting in Malibu. Complaints from homeowners have surfaced over the years, with accusations that McNulty exploited California's tenant-friendly laws. One case involved Alden Marin, an artist and cancer patient, who allowed McNulty to stay temporarily in his home in fall 2021. The stay extended beyond the agreed time, leading to disputes over behavior and financial demands. Marin's sister, Mindy Marin, noted that McNulty seemed to charm her way into homes. McNulty has disputed claims made by Marin, stating that he changed the locks while her belongings were still inside. In 2022, a judge ordered McNulty to vacate Marin's home after he took legal action. Mindy Marin also discovered over 10 legal cases linked to McNulty dating back nearly two decades, with complaints from various individuals, including an elderly widow and a yoga teacher.
