Earlier this year, the accomplice filed a lawsuit against Gaga over her $500,000 reward offer following the 2021 theft of the singer-actress’s two dogs.

Lady Gaga has clinched a temporary legal victory concerning a reward-related complaint, in a lawsuit filed by an accomplice in the February 2021 theft of the singer-actress’s two dogs.
A judge has ruled that the $500,000 reward Gaga offered for finding her two stolen dogs, Koji and Gustavto, is not enforceable as a contract with accomplice Jennifer McBride — who filed the lawsuit in effort to claim the reward after returning Gaga’s dogs — according to a court document obtained by PEOPLE.
A court order from the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday stated that the complaint of McBride — who argued a breach of contract when Gaga, 37, failed to pay her the reward in the lawsuit — was “legally insufficient in its entirety” following her “involvement in the theft.”
McBride was indicted and pleaded no contest to charges of receiving stolen property in 2022, according to the order, and therefore “not entitled to thereafter benefit from their wrongdoing by seeking to enforce the contract.”
McBride’s attorney argued in the lawsuit, filed this past February, that Gaga committed a breach of contract in her “no questions asked” reward offer following the theft of her two dogs — which led to the shooting and critical injury of the singer’s dog walker Ryan Fischer.
