Nicola Peltz, the wife of Brooklyn Beckham, is reportedly bringing legal action against a grooming business in New York, alleging that Jony Ceballos, the owner, caused the deaths of two of her dogs.
Actress and heiress Nicola Peltz is accusing a New York pet grooming company of negligence in the deaths of two of her beloved dogs. She alleges that the same groomer who handled her chihuahua Nala – who died shortly after an appointment – is also responsible for the 2021 death of her French bulldog Frankie.
Before their grooming sessions with HoundSpa LLC and Jony Ceballos, Peltz, 30, claims their dogs were healthy. She calls Ceballos’ actions “intentional and malicious abuse of dogs,” claiming Nala was a “healthy, happy dog” who came home “in severe physical distress.”
Nala’s veterinary records revealed neurological issues and fluid in her lungs. She had chest pulsations, hyperventilation, and a pulsing, water-filled lungs, and hyperventilation, according to Nicola. Nicola was left emotionally devastated by the pup’s death hours later.
Her other dog, Angel, is now screaming and shaking when left alone, according to her lawsuit, which was filed last year.
Peltz claims that after Ceballos grooming Frankie, she realized she had also experienced trauma symptoms before Nala’s passing.
Frankie stumbling repeatedly as though he had been sedated after returning from his grooming with Ceballos. After that, he was later discovered that there was fluid in his brain, and some of it started to collapse, necessitating eye removal before he passed away months later. “Nicola cried and gave her dog; she never had any suspicions that someone tasked with taking care of her dog might have hurt him.”
Despite being repeatedly warned, Nicola also accuses the groomer of mistreating her brother’s dog, Banksy. She claimed that “he clearly frustrated me” and “hurt the conversation.” After that, Banksy said his eyes were “red and irritated, and had pus coming out of them.”
Despite complaints, no action was taken by HoundSpa’s owner, Deborah Gittleman. Now, according to Mail Online, Nicola has hired celebrity attorney Marty Singer – dubbed “Mad Dog” in Hollywood – to take the case to court.
The New York Supreme Court has mandated that both parties turn over important documents, including those relating to Nala’s necropsy and the company’s insurance policies. Before October 30th, Nicola must make an appearance for a deposition.
Similar concerns are expressed in online reviews. One dog-owner allegedly told her dog to “don’t put your dogs in a dangerous situation and use them.”
Another reviewer claimed that Johnny [sic] would “shake when they saw her dogs,” and that he emitted a “bad vibe” from her dogs. She also made note of HoundSpa’s previous location, Northwind Kennels’ parking lot, where its owner was detained multiple times for animal cruelty.
Another disturbing customer claim is made in Peltz’s lawsuit: “Jonny… mishandled the puppy (in front of several witnesses) in such a horrific manner that the pup peed as he grabbed them”! The customer claimed that “the poor pup has been traumatized just seeing the van” and that “all] the puppy’s] desensitization training has been replaced by trauma.”
After receiving numerous customer complaints about his mistreatment and animal abuse, Gittleman “should never have allowed Ceballos to continue grooming pets,” Peltz claimed in the lawsuit.
The Mirror has approached Nicola’s representatives and a spokesperson for HoundSpa LLC and groomer Jony Ceballos for comment on this story.
