Sheriff Evicts Sabrina Mollison After Frankee Grove Wins $12,800 Judgment
1 articles · Updated · The Verge · May 18
A Los Angeles sheriff’s office team removed Sabrina Mollison from Frankee Grove’s Venice rental in July 2025, ending months of conflict after Mollison left without incident.
A judge had already approved Grove’s eviction case, and in June awarded her $12,800 in small claims damages after Mollison failed to appear in court.
Grove has not collected any of that money: a bank levy found no funds, and her wage-garnishment effort collapsed after Club Pilates owner Adela Sirbu said Mollison had been fired.
The eviction capped a dispute that escalated into dueling restraining orders, Grove’s arrest on an assault claim later undone in court, and allegations of property damage and threats.
Criminal accountability remains unresolved — the Los Angeles District Attorney declined to prosecute Mollison, though the matter is still under review by the City Attorney.
