Lady Gaga Sued By Woman Charged In Dog Theft For $500K Reward

by

Jennifer McBride, who was charged as an accomplice in the theft of Lady Gaga’s dogs at gunpoint, now wants the singer to pay her the $500,000 reward that she promised to whoever found them. Moreover, authorities determined McBride had a hand in the crime, as she was allegedly dating the father of one of the men responsible for the assault. Still, she wants to force the singer to give her the reward in court. Furthermore, McBride maintains that the singer said she’d pay the reward “no questions asked” when she asked for help finding her dogs Koji and Gustav. For those unaware, two men stole these dogs at gunpoint from Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fischer.

The accomplice in the crime delivered Gaga’s dogs to her at the LAPD Olympic Community station on February 26, 2021, two days after her colleagues took them. Later, officials charged McBride in connection to the incident with receiving stolen property and being a post-facto accessory to the crime. While it seemed odd at first, the revelation of McBride’s romantic relationship with one of the culprits‘ father made it clearer. Afterwards, she pled no contest to her charged count of receiving stolen property and got two years of probation. Now, she not only wants the original $500,000, but wants to triple the amount in damages to $1.5 million for Gaga posting the “misleading” reward.

Meanwhile. L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Michelle Hanisse told TMZ that McBride knew more than she leads on. For example, she claimed that McBride had full knowledge that the dogs were stolen when she returned them for the reward. In addition, Hanisse maintained that McBride knew the men responsible for the attack for years.

Not only that, but allegedly them and McBride roped her in because they thought, since she was a white woman, they thought they could get away with it. Hanisse also pointed out that McBride is still on probation and, if the singer suffered any financial loss, Gaga could seek financial restitution from McBride. Regardless of the conflicting accounts, lawsuits, and allegiances, return to HNHH for the latest big updates from Lady Gaga.

“Euphoria” Star Chloe Cherry Accused Of Stealing $28 Blouse

by

She starred in one of HBO’s most successful shows, but that didn’t keep Chloe Cherry out of trouble with the law. The mania surrounding Euphoria thrust its stars into the spotlight, and Cherry found a new level of fame. The former adult entertainment actress was featured in over 200 pornographic films throughout her career, but she set her sights on the mainstream side of Hollywood.

According to Lancaster Online, Cherry was visiting her hometown in Pennsylvania when she was arrested. The outlet stated that Cherry was at Jenny & the Clowder, a space located at Building Character downtown. The actress reportedly took a $28 Moda International blouse into a dressing room but left without the shirt.

Cherry was said to have paid for “other items” but was questioned by an employee. The incident was captured on surveillance footage. Cherry allegedly “admitted to taking the blouse and returned it to an officer,” a complaint reads. Building Character owner Marty Hulse spoke with reporters about Cherry’s theft.

“Most times, when we find people who are shoplifting, we don’t find them in the act,” Hulse said. “They’ll take the tag off of it and throw it somewhere. Then we see the tag, and we can find them on the camera and where it came from, and that’s exactly what happened.”

Hulse and general manager Joel Henry claimed they didn’t know Cherry was a Hollywood star until police reached out to her mother. “I know it sounds piddly, but when it comes down to it, we’re all small businesses,” Hulse also stated. “You’re stealing from your neighbors.” However, Cherry’s rep told TMZ that this theft isn’t what it seems. They allege that the actress never admitted to stealing anything.

“In December, there was confusion over a blouse that wasn’t properly charged to my client’s credit card,” they said. “In no way did she ‘admit’ to taking the blouse, since that was not the case. This story seems to be more about a local store trading on a celebrity’s name more than anything else.”

Reports added that Cherry was allegedly involved in a similar theft in 2015. She is scheduled to face a judge in this case on March 1.
