Lady Gaga Officially Won’t Have to Pay $500k Reward to Woman Tied to Dog Theft, Judge Rules

 

Jennifer McBride, convicted of knowingly receiving the stolen French bulldogs after robbers nearly killed the pop star's dog walker, sued for the reward plus $1.5 million, citing promise of "no questions asked"

 

Lady Gaga emerged victorious Monday in the multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed by the woman who returned the pop star’s stolen French bulldogs in 2021 and later sued for the $500,000 reward – plus $1.5 million in further damages – even though she was convicted of knowingly receiving the stolen pets after dognappers nearly killed the singer’s dog walker.

 

A Los Angeles judge ruled that Jennifer McBride, 53, failed to remedy her lawsuit with an updated complaint filed two weeks after the court dismissed her original complaint in July on the grounds that McBride appeared to be trying to “benefit from her admitted wrongdoing.”

 

Judge Holly J. Fujie issued her final decision during a morning hearing lasting less than 10 minutes. She ruled that McBride had “unclean hands” when she tried to collect the $500,000 reward and was later prosecuted. Despite McBride’s argument that the reward was offered with a promise of “no questions asked,” Judge Fujie ruled that “a party to a contract who acts wrongfully in entering or performing the contract is not entitled to thereafter benefit from their wrongdoing by seeking to enforce the contract.”
