An accomplice in the theft of Lady Gaga's dogs in February 2021, which left her dog walker severely injured, has filed a lawsuit against the singer.

Jennifer McBride, who returned Lady Gaga dogs Koji and Gustav, is suing her for failing to pay the $500,000 reward she promised, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE from the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

McBride's lawyer claimed on Friday that Gaga had breached the contract by false promise and fraud by misrepresentation because she promised to pay the reward "no questions asked" but did not do it.

McBride alleges in her lawsuit that Gaga's "no questions asked" offer was made "with the intent to defraud and induce members of the public, such as Plaintiff, to rely upon it and to act upon a said promise by locating and delivering Lady Gaga's bulldogs to Defendants."

Lady Gaga's Dogs Stealing Incident

Lady Gaga dogs were taken in February 2021 during a robbery in which her assistant was shot in the chest. McBride claimed she located the dogs two days later and asked for Lady Gaga's $500,000 prize.

However, she was arrested as an accessory to attempted murder after the Los Angeles police learned she was dating the parent of one of the robbery suspects.

She was also charged with one count of receiving stolen goods and was given two years probation in December 2022 after entering a no-contest plea, according to Fox News.

One of the three robbery suspects, James Howard Jackson, pleaded no contest to one count of attempted murder and was given a 21-year prison term for shooting Ryan Fischer during the robbery. Jaylin Keyshawn White, 20, another defendant, received a four-year prison term.

Lady Gaga's Dog Thief Accomplice Wants $1.5 Million

McBride is now seeking $1.5 million in damages, three times the $500,000, because the prize was posted in bad faith, TMZ said.

However, Lady Gaga and her injured dog walker were victims of a crime, and any settlement money would be deemed restitution, according to Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Michele Hanisee.

"It was clear from the evidence presented to the grand jury that Ms. McBride knew the dogs had been stolen in a violent robbery in which Ryan Fischer had been grievously injured. It was also clear from the evidence that McBride had known at least two of her co-conspirators for years," Hanisee said, adding that if Lady Gaga loses money after offering a prize, she will be considered a victim of a crime under California law, and the people have a legal responsibility to pursue restitution from all of the defendants in the case, per MSN.

Hanisee continued that Lady Gaga dogs could have ended up in a breeding mill if the singer had not openly admitted the dogs were hers and offered a reward.

The court still has authority over McBride, the Dog thief accomplice, as the prosecutor pointed out, and he is still on formal probation.

The lawyer representing McBride did not immediately return a request for comment.
