Overview
- A delivery worker, Dominique Bridgett, filed a negligence lawsuit saying a dog at Ne‑Yo’s Alpharetta home lunged and bit her leg while she was delivering a package on July 12, 2025.
- The seven-page complaint says Bridgett suffered severe bodily injury and has already incurred $9,039.50 in medical bills.
- Bridgett alleges Ne‑Yo, identified in the suit by his legal name Shaffer Chimere Smith, knew the dog had a history of aggressive behavior and failed to restrain it as required by local rules.
- Ne‑Yo or his representatives have not publicly responded to requests for comment and the filing asks for a jury trial in Fulton County without specifying a total damages amount.
- The case will turn on owner knowledge and restraint rules under Georgia law and is receiving extra attention because media coverage compares it to a recent high‑value dog‑attack verdict against Chris Brown that may shape public expectations.
