\n\tNe-Yo is facing a new lawsuit that claims his \u201cvicious and dangerous\u201d dog attacked a woman delivering a package at his Atlanta area home.<\/p>\n

\n\tAttorneys for Dominique Bridgett say a dog owned by the \u201cSo Sick\u201d singer (Shaffer Chimere Smith) attacked her \u201csuddenly and without warning\u201d when she was dropping off a package at his Alpharetta home in July 2025.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tChris Brown Hit With $13 Million Verdict in Housekeeper Dog Attack\u00a0Trial\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

    \n\t\u201cDefendant\u2019s Canine mauled Plaintiff\u2019s causing severe bodily injury, pain, shock, and distress,\u201d Bridgett\u2019s lawyers write in the complaint, obtained by Billboard<\/em> \u2014 adding that the dog was \u201cnot restrained\u201d even though it had shown \u201caggressive behavior toward people.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tIn her complaint, Bridgett claims the attack has caused pain, suffering and injuries that \u201cmay be permanent in nature.\u201d She says she\u2019s already paid more than $9,000 in medical bills, and wants unspecified amount of additional damages to \u201ccompletely compensate\u201d her.<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe case was filed in late June in Fulton County Court; it was first reported Thursday (Aug. 6) by TMZ<\/em>. A rep for Ne-Yo did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe new case comes after Chris Brown just faced a similar lawsuit, which claimed that his dog mauled a housekeeper at his California home. In June, a jury awarded the woman nearly $13 million in damages for physical and emotional suffering and medical expenses.<\/p>\n

    \n\tBrown\u2019s case featured more serious alleged injuries than the case against Ne-Yo, including that Brown\u2019s huge dog ripped off \u201clarge chunks of her skin\u201d and caused \u201cpermanent facial disfigurement\u201d and vision loss. In her new lawsuit, Bridgett claims only that Ne-Yo\u2019s dog bit her on the leg.<\/p>\n

    \n\tIn technical legal terms, she\u2019s accusing the star of legal negligence, meaning he had a duty to prevent the dog from attacking her at his house. She says the singer \u201cknew or should have known of the peculiar propensities that rendered the canine in question vicious or dangerous,\u201d but had \u201cfailed to maintain proper control\u201d over the animal.<\/p>\n
