dog attack lawsuit against Ne-Yo just got real. A delivery worker is suing the R&B singer after claiming his dog attacked her outside his Georgia home, and the details are pretty serious.
Dominique Bridgett says she was dropping off a package at Ne-Yo’s Alpharetta property on July 12, 2025, when the animal suddenly lunged and bit her leg. According to the complaint, the dog attack lawsuit alleges the canine “viciously attacked” her without warning, leaving her with what she describes as severe injuries and emotional distress.
Here’s what makes this case stand out: Bridgett claims she did nothing to provoke the animal. She’s also alleging that Ne-Yo—whose legal name is Shaffer Chimere Smith—knew the dog had shown aggressive behavior before but failed to keep it properly restrained. That’s a key detail for negligence claims.
The numbers tell part of the story. Bridgett has already paid $9,039.50 in medical expenses from the alleged attack. Beyond that, she’s seeking damages for future pain, suffering, and what legal documents call “lost capacity for enjoyment of life.” That’s lawyer-speak for the real impact this incident has had on her daily life.
The seven-page complaint was filed in Fulton County and includes a request for a jury trial. The lawsuit doesn’t specify the dog’s breed or go into extensive detail about her injuries, and Ne-Yo hasn’t made any public statements about the allegations.
