Aussie popstar's bulldog euthanised after mauling neighbour's cavoodle
Australian popstar Tones and I has been ordered to pay a hefty fine after her dog fatally mauled a neighbour's cavoodle when it escaped from her Mornington Peninsula mansion. Her American bulldog, Boss, was euthanised, and the Dance Monkey singer was fined $3000 after she was charged with failing to confine her pets. The tragedy occurred outside her $7 million mansion in Mount Eliza in November 2024 while her neighbour, Wayne Schultz, was walking his two Cavoodles. The singer, whose real name is Toni Watson, shared the home with her husband, Frankston Bombers footballer Jimmy Bedford, and their two dogs, Boss and Charlie. Dromana Magistrates' Court heard that Boss launched at the 17-year-old cavoodle after the gates were momentarily opened to let Charlie into the yard, NewsCorp reported. The American bulldog bit the cavoodle's neck and refused to let go as Mr Schultz, Mr Bedford, and a passerby attempted to separate the dogs. The cavoodle died from the attack, and Mr Schultz sustained a knee injury from a bite and a bruised eye. The passerby fractured their hand while trying to separate the dogs. Ms Watson's barrister, Cameron Scott, represented her in court while she was in the US recording her next album. She reportedly offered to pay $599 to cremate the cavoodle, but the owners declined.

Aussie pop sensation Tones and I enjoyed a boozy night out in the US with friends on Wednesday evening, the same day she was fined over a brutal dog attack. The 32-year-old singer's American bulldog 'Boss' escaped her $7million mansion on the Mornington Peninsula in November last year, and attacked and killed her neighbour's pet Cavoodle. Boss was euthanised as a result. On Thursday, Dromana Magistrates' Court ordered the singer, whose name is Toni Watson, to pay a $3000 fine and the council's costs, The Herald Sun reported. That same evening, Watson shared a clip to social media which captured her partying with her friends at a club. The Melbourne-born singer was all smiles as she hugged a female friend and laughed when she quipped, 'we are officially alcoholics'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She captioned the clip with 'my baby's'. Watson's dog Boss was put down after he killed a cavoodle by biting it on the neck and refusing to let go. The court heard that Watson's neighbour, Wayne Schultz, was walking his two cavoodles when he spotted her chocolate Labrador Charlie stuck outside the electric gates. He called out to Watson's friend Tahlia as she arrived at the property and, as she opened the gate, Boss escaped, the magistrate heard. Boss bit one of Mr Schultz's cavoodles on the neck and would not let go. Mr Schultz, Watson's husband Jason 'Jimmy' Bedford and a bystander were forced to intervene and separate the two dogs. The elderly cavoodle died as a result of its injuries. 'The victim's family are devastated by the loss of their family pet and the manner in which the dog died in front of them,' prosecutor Colin McLean told the court.

After the show, they had a hugely successful career and won numerous awards, thanks to tracks such as Boss and Worth It. The band announced an indefinite hiatus back in 2018 - but could soon be making a big comeback. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the beloved group is in talks to reunite. However, this reunion would not include Camila Cabello, who exited Fifth Harmony back in 2016, much to fans' devastation. Taking to X, some Harmonizers have shared their disappointment over Camila's absence from the potential reunion. One penned: "Then it won't make as much noise. It's not a true reunion without Camila..." Another added: "WE DON'T WANT IT WITHOUT CAMILA." After Camila's departure, the remaining members - Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregi and Normani - continued on as a four-piece for almost two years. Since taking their break, all members have since released solo singles. The band's parting of ways in 2018 came just a month after The Sun revealed the group were likely to split after US label Epic focused more on former bandmate Camila Cabello's success than theirs. Taking to Instagram at the time, Fifth Harmony broke the news to their fans. The group said: "Reflecting on the past six years since we started on X Factor, we've realised just how far we've come and we appreciate everything so much, more now than ever. Fifth Harmony star Camila Cabello opens up about quitting the US pop band and solo career "We've had one hell of a memorable journey together and can't begin to express our gratitude to y'all for coming along with us on this wild journey. "After six years going hard, non stop, we realise that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we need to take some time for now to go on a hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavors." They continued: "We are all very excited and grateful to be able to take this time to learn and grow creatively and really find our footing as individuals. "In doing this we are allowing ourselves to gain new experiences, strengths and perspectives that we can bring back to our Fifth Harmony family." Over the years, fans had been begging for a reunion - with previous rumblings back in 2023. 5 Simon Cowell helped to form Fifth Harmony Credit: AFF
