Probably the most impudent lawsuit of the year: Lady Gaga is supposed to pay 1.5 million dollars to the kidnappers of her dogs.

DLNews Entertainment:

It was the horror in Hollywood: two years ago, several men attacked the dog sitter of pop great Lady Gaga (36) and stole her French bulldogs. Now one crook even wants money from the singer and sues for 1.5 million dollars!

Lady Gaga's French bulldogs Koji and Gustav were kidnapped.

Dog sitter Ryan Fischer was on February 21, 2021, with Lady Gaga's dogs dark in a residential area. Suddenly, a car stopped.

Ryan Fischer in hospital after a near-fatal attack.

Out jumped several men. Fischer was pinned down with gunfire and left lying on the sidewalk pleading for help. He survived the near-fatal attack and was seriously injured in the hospital.

The dog's sitter narrowly survived the severe attack.

 But the singer's French bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, were stolen in the attack. The perfidious trick: The gangsters wanted to collect the finder's fee. At that time, 500 000 dollars.

And that's precisely what happened. Accomplice Jennifer McBride handed the dogs over to the police on February 26 - only two days after they were stolen - hoping the cash would ring.

Stupid: During the investigation, it came out that she had known the dog thieves for years, TMZ reports. Later she was found guilty of receiving stolen goods - at least McBride only got a suspended sentence of 2 years. She was not found to be an accessory to robbery.

According to the deputy district attorney, McBride had known full well that the puppies had been stolen. She had believed, as did her gang, that she would not be found out because she was a white woman.

James Howard Jackson, who police believe was the shooter, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was sentenced to 21 years.

But how did McBride come up with the claimed 1.5 million in the first place? After all, the finder's fee was "only" $500,000.
