According to court documents cited by People magazine<\/a>, employee Joy Ransom filed the lawsuit on July 10, 2025. <\/p>\n

She alleges that Claudia and Nelson\u2019s rescue dog, Houdini, attacked her on December 23, 2025, and that Nicola was present<\/a> when the attack occurred.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit claims that Ransom has \u201cincurred medical expenses\u201d as a result of the attack, and that Houdini \u201cwas not under any form of restraint or control\u201d at the time of the attack. <\/p>\n

Ransom also alleged that the family<\/a> were aware that Houdini is \u201cprone to attack people\u201d, and that the family\u2019s pet has \u201cnever had K-9 training or behaviour training\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ransom was working in the Peltz residence at the time of the alleged attack, however claims she \u201cwas not negligent in causing the incident\u201d. <\/p>\n

This is not the first time Claudia and Nelson have been sued by an employee, previously finding themselves entangled in a legal situation regarding Houdini. <\/p>\n

An employee at their Palm Beach home in Florida sued, claiming that on December 16, 2024, Houdini was \u201clunging and attempting to attack\u201d her which caused her to fall and injure herself, according to Ransom\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n
