Hollywood Stars Entangled In New LA Voting Scandal

The issue Democrats often dismiss as nonexistent has a way of surfacing at inconvenient moments.

According to a Tuesday report from the U.K. Daily Mail, 36 voters, including several celebrities, are registered at the same office suite on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. Among the names listed is “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston.

That matters because Los Angeles County requires voters to register at their actual home address. Voters also sign under penalty of perjury that the address they provide is their residence. A business address may be used for mail, but not as a substitute for where someone actually lives.

The address in question is Suite 600 at 9200 Sunset Boulevard. It is not an apartment building, a private home, or some hidden celebrity compound. It is the business address of Michael Ullman, who runs Platinum Financial Management, Inc. The Daily Mail described him as a “money manager to the stars.”

Unless that office is somehow doubling as a dormitory, the situation raises obvious questions.

According to the report, the address appeared as the residential address for Aniston, Jenna Dewan, Linda Cardellini, Katheryn Winnick, Nicollette Sheridan, Laura Harrier, Matt Czuchry, Debbie Gibson, Hamish Linklater, and others.

Ullman did not claim the celebrities lived there. In fact, he said the opposite.

“They don’t live here,” he told the Mail. “It’s just a mailing address, but it’s not their residential address. So it gets mailed here, but they voted in their area.”

That explanation may sound harmless, but election law experts say it is not how California voter registration works.

Amber Hulse of the Dhillon Law Group told the Mail that voters may use a business address or another location as a mailing address, but they still must provide their residential address as their domicile.

“If, for example, Jennifer Aniston is using it as her residence, when it is clearly not her residence, then it would be illegal,” Hulse said.

She added that because voter registration is signed under penalty of perjury, knowingly listing a false residence could amount to perjury under California law.

Los Angeles County’s own guidance is clear: A person may register only at their place of residence. A business address or P.O. box may be used only as a mailing address.

And celebrity status does not create an exception.

“People can hide their residential address for privacy concerns, but celebrity is not one of those options,” Hulse said.

The Daily Mail reported that the oldest registration tied to the address goes back to 2002, involving director Campion Murphy. Jenna Dewan was reportedly the most recent, registering at the office in December 2025. Aniston, who publicly supported Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the previous presidential cycle, was last registered at the address on Jan. 29, 2025.

Some may argue that 36 voters are not enough to matter in a state as large as California. But the number is not the only concern. The issue is jurisdiction.

West Hollywood is a separate city from Los Angeles. It has its own local races and elected officials. A person registered in West Hollywood could be voting in contests they would not be eligible to vote in if they actually lived elsewhere.

That is why residency requirements exist in the first place. Voters are supposed to choose officials who represent the communities where they actually live.

Hulse explained the principle plainly: “The entire point of making people disclose their domicile is so that only people that are actual residents of these political subdivisions are actually voting in the election for people that would represent them.”

The larger issue is not merely whether a group of celebrities made a paperwork mistake or received bad advice from someone handling their affairs. The larger issue is that the public is repeatedly told these kinds of irregularities are imaginary, exaggerated, or the product of conspiracy thinking.

But when examples emerge, the response is often slow, cautious, and wrapped in bureaucracy.

Los Angeles County spokesman Michael Sanchez said the county is “continuing to review the records associated with this address.” He added that if a voter attests under penalty of perjury that an address is their residence or domicile, and the registration otherwise meets legal requirements, the registration is processed under state law.

That may explain how the registrations were accepted. It does not answer whether they were accurate.

None of the celebrities named in the report commented. For once, staying quiet may be the safest public relations move available.
