R&B Singer Ne‑Yo Sued Over Dog Attack on Delivery Driver

A delivery driver, Dominique Bridgett, has filed a civil lawsuit against R&B singer Ne‑Yo (legal name Shaffer Chimere Smith) alleging that his dog attacked her while she was delivering a package to his home in Alpharetta, Georgia, on July 12, 2025. Bridgett claims the dog lunged and bit her leg without provocation, causing severe bodily injury, pain, shock and emotional distress. She says the dog had a known history of aggression and that Ne‑Yo failed to restrain it as required by leash and animal‑control laws. The complaint, filed in Fulton County, seeks a jury trial and includes medical expenses of $9,039.50 and compensation for future pain and suffering. Ne‑Yo has not publicly responded to the lawsuit. The case follows a prior high‑profile dog‑mauling lawsuit involving another singer, highlighting the legal risks of pet ownership when injuries occur.
