Lady Gaga wins case to keep $500,000 dognapping reward

Lady Gaga won the lawsuit brought against her by the woman who “found” her dogs and won’t have to pay the $500,000 (£359k) reward promised for their return.Jennifer McBride, the woman who was charged in connection to the 2021 theft of the pop singer’s two French Bulldogs, previously sued Gaga for the reward as well as an additional $1.5m in damages.On Monday (October 2), Judge Holly Fujie ruled in favour of Gaga, saying (in her court order obtained by People) that McBride’s complaint was “legally insufficient in its entirety” following her “involvement in the theft”.The court order also pointed out that McBride was indicted and pleaded no contest to charges of receiving stolen property in 2022, and was therefore “not entitled to thereafter benefit from their wrongdoing by seeking to enforce the contract.”In February 2021, Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot while taking the singer’s two dogs, Gustavo and Koji, out for a walk. The gunman stole the dogs from Fischer after shooting him.Last year, James Howard Jackson was sentenced to 21 years in prison for shooting Fischer.
