The woman who returned Lady Gaga‘s stolen dogs has filed a lawsuit against the superstar singer/actress.
In February 2021, Ryan Fischer was hospitalized after he was shot while walking three of Gaga’s French Bulldogs in Los Angeles. Some 48 hours after the tragedy, two of the pets that were taken in the incident were subsequently dropped off at a police station by Jennifer McBride 48 hours later.
According to recently obtained court documents, McBride is now seeking the $500,000 in reward money that the artist allegedly promised to anyone who returned the pets. The suit claims the 36-year-old musician (born Stefani Germanotta) “defrauded” McBride by “making a promise without intent to perform”. Lawyers also allege McBride suffered mental anguish and a loss of enjoyment of life over not receiving her reward.
Previously, it was reported that McBride turned the dogs over to police officers in late February 2021 and did not appear to be involved in the incident. However, it was later alleged she was in a relationship with one of the men connected to the case and originally faced two charges.
According to The Los Angeles Times, McBride pleaded no contest to one count of receiving stolen property and was sentenced to two years of probation last December.
Representatives for Gaga have not yet responded to the lawsuit.
