Cesar Millan’s<\/a> Pitbull killed Queen Latifah’s dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe report got more sordid as the allegation further revealed that the esteemed dog trainer swept matters under the carpet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He allegedly informed his staff to lie to Queen Latifah that her dog died in a hit-and-run accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owing in no small part to the significance of Cesar Millan in the dog community, the allegation raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though the lawsuit marked the umpteenth time Millan has been at the center of a controversy, this was at the very least the first allegation of this sort leveled against the self-trained dog trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Months after, fans still wonder, are the allegations true? Does the lawsuit contain any iota of truth regarding the unfortunate happenings described?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unveiled in this article are all the nitty-gritty pertaining to the incident and the players in the legal dilemma of the ex-Dog Whisperer show host.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lawsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Gymnast Lidia Matiss filed the lawsuit through attorneys Brian M. Adesman and Omar G. Qureshi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lidia alleged that in 2017 when she visited her mom in a training facility owned by Cesar Millan, which houses his Cesar’s Dog Psychology Center training facility, she encountered Millan’s Pitbull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pitbull was said to be “unsupervised and unleashed” and began to attack her. She revealed that she was mauled by the dog who attacked her legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visit to the ER revealed she sustained serious injuries which prevented her from going ahead with her gymnastics career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Matiss insists the incident with the dog caused her emotional and psychological pain, disgrace, humiliation, loss of self-esteem, and poor social life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She attributes the incident as the reason why she no longer competes in gymnastics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawsuit further asserts that Millan’s Pitbull had a history of violence but was still allowed to roam through the premises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cited in the lawsuit is an incident that involves the dogs of rapper and actress Queen Latifah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Queen Latifah had placed two of her dogs in Millan’s care, but one of the dogs was mauled to death by the Pitbull, with Millan covering up the incident by instructing his staff to lie to the rapper that her dog was killed in a hit and run incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suit states that “Junior possessed vicious and dangerous propensities and was inclined to attack, bite, maul, maim, and disfigure people and other animals in its vicinity” and requests unspecified damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though the lawsuit is the latest instance of Millan embroiling in contentious legal proceedings involving his dog training center, this doesn’t mark the first instance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2015 a Florida critical care nurse revealed<\/a> that she sustained “disfiguring open wounds, deep muscle, and tendon lacerations” in a lawsuit against Millan. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe attack occurred about six days after the Pitbull named Gus was released from the Dog Psychology Center run by Millan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurse who was seeking punitive damages disclosed in her suit that she permanently lost function and feeling in her left hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
