A handyman with experience removing squatters said he helped an older woman reclaim her Hollywood home from Iron Chef winner and former judge Adam Fleischman, who she claimed was living there rent-free.

After the woman, Claudia contacted him, Flash Shelton went to the house and confronted Fleischman for living in the home since May without ever paying rent.

The handyman filmed the situation and posted it to his YouTube channel, hoping media attention would encourage the Umami Burger founder to move out.

Fleischman confirmed to Fox News that he left the house on Oct. 2 and no longer lives in the home.

“I asked him if he felt that he owed her any money and if he realizes that he has basically broken this woman,” Shelton told Fox News Digital, adding that Claudia has said she’s facing bankruptcy. “He just says that it’s not his fault.”

Fleischman said he had intended “to pay rent and to be a normal tenant,” but hasn’t because he wasn’t given a lease when he moved in.

He said he did not consider himself a squatter.

“I haven’t paid rent because intentionally she wouldn’t provide keys or an agreement, etc. etc.,” he told Fox News Digital in a text. “Landlords or those renting a room have responsibilities.”

“She did not ask for rent for the first 2-3 months,” Fleischman added. “I figured she had some credit or something.”

Claudia told Fox News Digital she believes “the system is broken” since she couldn’t remove Fleischman without going to court.

“We kept telling him for months to leave, but he refuses, and the police say it’s illegal to make him leave or to lock him out,” she said.

“He has paid no deposit, no rent, has no lease or any keys,” Claudia, who says she’s rented the home for 29 years, added before he moved out.

Fleischman left after Shelton discovered the chef would have to take him to civil court if he were to lock the door, the handyman told Fox News Digital.

“He has paid no deposit, no rent, has no lease or any keys,” Claudia, who says she’s rented the home for 29 years, added before he moved out.

Claudia said she has a medical condition that’s exacerbated by stress.

Fox News Digital agreed to withhold her last name since she fears media attention will harm her health.

Claudia said she posted an ad on Craigslist in the spring — with permission of the homeowner — to help find people to pay the rent.

After Fleischman responded to the ad, the two made an agreement to host dinner parties and charge per plate at the home with a pleasant view to generate income.

The homeowner did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

“He said a partnership with us would pay all for the entire home,” Claudia said.

“I felt if he’s had that much success, maybe he knows how to be successful,” she said in one of Shelton’s videos.
