*Margaret Avery, who’ best known for her iconic role as Shug Avery in “The Color Purple” movie from 1985, is having issues with her neighbor who apparently is making it very difficult to live in peace in the house she’s owned for the past 41 years.
According to legal documents, Avery – who also had a recurring role on BET’s now shuttered “Being Mary Jane – says her 50-year-old neighbor is terrorizing the block after an argument the two got into about where to park their cars.
The 74-year-old actress says during the argument her neighbor “Came yelling about how the street was a public street and he could park wherever he wanted,” and then allegedly, “pointed his finger towards me, just a couple of feet from me in an aggressive manner.”

She says she’s worried about the ongoing feud with the guy, and says the stress is beginning to affect her 75-year-old live-in boyfriend, Arthur because of his health issues:
“My boyfriend has a bad heart and he cannot handle the stress.”
“I just want to live in peace. I want to send a strong message that he cannot bully me,” the actess says. “I am entitled to live peacefully in my own house, which I’ve owned for 41 years.”
By the way, per request for a temporary restraining order against her neighbor was granted, keeping him at least 10 yards away and ordering him not to engage in any harassment. They are scheduled for a court hearing next month.
