US celebrities face lawsuit for dog attack on flight attendant

 

Jennifer Lopez faces a massive $5 million lawsuit from a flight attendant, who alleges that the US celebrity’s dog attacked her on a flight. Fox News also reported earlier today that Marc Anthony-Lopez’s spouse-is involved in the law suit as well. According to a report in the New York Daily News, the celebrity couple was travelling together on a privately-operated jet when their guard proceeded to attack the flight attendant on board. The law suit was filed in a Brooklyn courthouse, but media reports indicate that the plaintiff will ask to have Marc Anthony’s name added to the filing as well before the end of the week.

Lisa Wilson, the flight attendant in question, apparently decided to include Anthony’s name as well to the suit when it was revealed that he actually owned the guard dog. Lopez, however, had allegedly provided 40 year old Wilson with a warning about the dog, named Floyd, explaining how she must act around the animal during the trip, in order to avoid stirring his wrath. But the plaintiff alleges that Floyd proceeded to bite her anyway, approximately one hour in the flight. Although the dog only bit her once-on her legs-Wilson argues that she never fully recovered from the injury, mainly because she ended up falling down after the bite. Her back was reportedly badly injured and this has limited her ability to continue working.

Thank you to Fox News for the initial report.
