Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony Sued over Dog Incident

Marc Anthony has been named alongside wife Jennifer Lopez in a lawsuit originally filed by a flight attendant last June over an alleged canine attack, reports the New York Daily News.

The incident allegedly occurred on July 3, 2006, when Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and their German shepherd guard dog Floyd boarded a Gulfstream IV flight from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, L.I., to Burbank, Calif.

According to court papers filed in June last year in Brooklyn Federal Court, Floyd jumped at one flight attendant for NetJets Inc. during the flight, when she walked past its place, “attacking her and biting her pant leg.”

The flight attendant, 40-year-old Lisa Wilson, fell and suffered a serious back injury as a result of the attack, William Cafaro, her Manhattan lawyer, told the Daily News. She has been unable to work since.

The court papers add that Jennifer Lopez had instructed Wilson how to behave around the dog prior to boarding the plane.

Wilson originally filed her lawsuit against the singer/actress and only recently added her husband’s name, upon learning that Marc Anthony is the registered owner of the dog, Cafaro told the Daily News.

Cafaro also said the superstar couple should have handled the situation differently, that is to place a muzzle or leash on Floyd and warn Wilson that she should stay away from the dog.

Lisa Wilson is seeking $5 million in damages from Lopez and her company, Nuyorican Productions.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have been married since June 2004. They are parents to 6-month–old twins Max and Emme. The babies were introduced to the world in early March, by way of a special People magazine edition.

Their proud parents reportedly received $6 million for the exclusive photo shoot, just $1 million more than the injured flight attendant is asking for…not that Lopez and Anthony lack the means to pay up – if found guilty.
