Brooklyn Beckham's wife is suing a dog groomer.
Brooklyn Beckham's wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, sent her Chihuahua to the groomer. After the salon visit, the dog was in poor health. Hours later, the animal even died. Now, the actress is suing the dog groomer.
Nicola Peltz Beckham has filed a lawsuit against the dog groomer of her Chihuahua, alleging serious misconduct. The groomer styled the dog, which belonged to her and husband Brooklyn Beckham, just before its death in June. According to "TMZ" and "People" magazine, Peltz Beckham is blaming "HoundSpa" salon and an employee for the death of her dog, Nala, as stated in the lawsuit that has been made public.
In the lawsuit, the actress claims that the dog returned from a routine visit to the mobile groomer on June 15 "injured and in severe physical pain," exhibiting symptoms of heavy breathing, panting, and a pulsating chest. Two hours after the treatment, she died from her injuries. According to "TMZ", Peltz Beckham is seeking damages and punitive damages.
The "Bates Motel" actress is reportedly alleging in the suit that the employee has a history of "intentional and malicious mistreatment of dogs." She is accusing the salon and its owner of "reckless and malicious behavior," according to "People."
Peltz Beckham and second dog suffer
After the grooming appointment, she took her dog to a nearby vet who diagnosed Nala with a blue tongue, fluid in the lungs, and neurological damage. Despite being given oxygen, the pet of the actor couple died.
Peltz Beckham experienced "emotional distress" witnessing the death. According to "TMZ", her second dog, Angel, is also disturbed, reportedly shaking and crying whenever left alone.
On June 16, the day after the incident, Peltz Beckham publicly announced the death of her beloved dog on Instagram. "She was my beautiful queen and stood by me for 9 years," she mourned. She also warned her followers: "Please be careful who you leave your dogs with, you never know what goes on behind closed doors."
In a statement provided to "People" magazine, she said it "broke her heart" to read similar stories from fans. "I can't bear it. I'm angry when I hear how often stories like Nala's happen," she said.
The actress wants to prevent further incidents. "I've dedicated most of my life to rescuing dogs, and I can't in good conscience let this terrible act happen to other families," she clarified her motivation.
I'm not planning to leave my dogs with that groomer again. Despite the grooming appointment, Nala showed signs of distress and eventually passed away.
