CNN —A Los Angeles County Judge ruled Monday that singer Lady Gaga will not have to pay out the $500,000 reward that she promised for her French bulldogs’ safe return following a 2021 dognapping incident.
Fraud by false promise and fraud by misrepresentation were also listed in the lawsuit as the basis for damages.
McBride is currently on probation for two years after pleading guilty to receiving stolen property of more than $950, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office.
She was initially charged with one count of accessory after the fact and receiving stolen property, but the accessory after the fact charge was dismissed contemporaneously as part of a plea deal.
CNN has reached out to McBride as well as Gaga’s attorneys for comment.
