ylvester Stallone's plans for a sea barrier at his Florida mansion were met with fierce resistance from Palm Beach locals and officials. The Hollywood icon, 78, had proposed an 18-inch barrier to shield his private beach and pool from boaters and debris, citing concerns about "derelict" vessels dumping trash, sewage, gas, and dog feces.

    However, neighbors and council members were unimpressed by Stallone's claims, arguing that the barrier would obstruct public waterways and be an eyesore. Lifelong resident Jane Lindsay Scott said, "The onus is on that property owner to come up with a way of mitigating their exposure." Others pointed out that celebrities like Stallone should expect a lack of privacy near public water.

    Stallone defended his proposal, saying he couldn't understand why he couldn't have some peace and quiet at his home. But the critics didn't let up, and Scott also raised concerns about the barrier trapping trash and pushing it down, failing to address the environmental issues Stallone had raised.

    Facing mounting resistance, Stallone's lawyer announced that the actor was withdrawing his proposal, prompting cheers from the crowd. Even the council wasn't pulling punches, with President Bobbie Lindsay saying, "It's tough being so famous, but you're the only Rocky and Rambo, so it's tough. I think we simply must object to this particular one."
