Nicola Peltz escalates legal fight against NYC dog groomers over pet deaths
Brooklyn Beckham's wife Nicola Peltz is reportedly pursuing legal action against a New York-based grooming company, alleging that its employee Jony Ceballos 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. Peltz, 30, claims her dogs were healthy before their grooming sessions with HoundSpa LLC and groomer Jony Ceballos. In a lawsuit, she describes Ceballos' actions as 'intentional and malicious abuse of dogs,' saying Nala was 'a healthy, happy dog' who returned home 'in severe physical distress.' Vet records showed Nala had fluid in her lungs and neurological issues. 'She was in serious physical distress with her lungs full of water, chest pulsating and hyperventilating,' Nicola stated. The pup died hours later, leaving Nicola emotionally devastated. Her lawsuit, filed last year, also claims her other dog, Angel, now screams and shakes when left alone after being groomed by the same company. The allegations don't stop there as Peltz claims it wasn't until Nala's death that she realized Frankie had also shown symptoms of trauma after a grooming by Ceballos. 'Upon returning from his grooming with Ceballos, Frankie was in visible physical distress, repeatedly stumbling as if he had been sedated.' Neurologists later discovered fluid in his brain, and part of it began to collapse, eventually requiring the removal of an eye before he passed away months later. 'Nicola cried and cared for her dog - not at that time suspecting that an individual charged with caring for her dog would have hurt him.' Nicola also accuses the groomer of mishandling her brother's dog, Banksy, by letting medicated shampoo get into the dog's eyes despite repeated warnings. 'He showed clear frustration' and 'rushed the conversation,' she said. Afterwards, Banksy's eyes were 'red and irritated, and had puss 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. he New York Supreme Court has ordered both sides to turn over key documents, including Nala's necropsy and the company's insurance policies. Nicola must appear for a deposition before October 30. Online reviews echo similar concerns. 'Do not put your dogs in a dangerous situation and use them,' wrote one dog-owner, who said her dog came home with razor cuts. Another reviewer described how her dogs would 'shake when they would see Johnny [sic],' adding that he gave off a 'bad vibe.' She also noted that HoundSpa once operated out of the parking lot of Northwind Kennels, whose owner was arrested for multiple counts of animal cruelty. Peltz's lawsuit cites yet another disturbing customer account: 'Jonny… mishandled the puppy (in front of several witnesses) in such a horrific manner the pup peed as he grabbed them!' The customer wrote that 'all [the puppy's] desensitization training has been replaced by trauma,' adding that 'the poor pup has been left traumatized just seeing the van.' 'Gittleman should never have allowed Ceballos to continue to groom pets after receiving multiple customer complaints concerning his mistreatment and abuse of animals,' Peltz stated in the suit. The Mirror has approached Nicola's representatives and a spokesperson for HoundSpa LLC and groomer Jony Ceballos for comment on this story.

EXCLUSIVE Heartbroken Nicola Peltz claims dog groomer 'caused the death' of both her dogs Nala and Frankie
Grieving heiress Nicola Peltz is claiming that the groomer responsible for the death of her chihuahua Nala is also to blame for the death of her French bulldog Frankie, can reveal. And she has enlisted the services of a high-powered celebrity attorney known as 'Mad Dog' in her legal battle against the New York pet grooming company she claims is responsible. The grooming business at the center of the controversy, HoundSpa LLC, along with its owner Deborah Gittleman and groomer Jony Ceballos, have denied all allegations. In her lawsuit, she alleges Ceballos' history of 'intentional and malicious abuse of dogs' caused the death of her dog Nala and that when she went into the van, she was a 'healthy, happy dog' but returned in 'severe physical distress'. Veterinary records revealed eight-year-old Nala suffered from fluid in her lungs, neurological issues and a dangerously rapid heart rate before her untimely death. Nicola, 30, was recently ordered to appear for her deposition by October 30 of this year. Now the billionaire heiress, AGE, wife of Brooklyn Beckham, has doubled down on her accusations, asserting that HoundSpa is to blame for not only Nala's death but also her French bulldog Frankie and for injuring her brother's dog Banksy, according to court documents obtained by Renowned Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer, not so affectionately known as 'Mad Dog,' has been hired to prove the company's negligence as he's represented other A-listers such as Kim Kardashian and Michael Jackson. The NY Supreme Court has ordered that both parties disclose vital documents. Nala's necropsy report must be produced by Nicola by July 1 and the grooming company's insurance documents by May 30. That same document, obtained by also revealed that a judge has requested Nicola's presence in court for a deposition before October 30. In Nicola's lawsuit, which was filed in July of last year, she alleged that Ceballos caused the death of her 'healthy dog' by 'intentional and malicious abuse', claiming that this isn't the first time there's been a complaint against him. She called the firm and Ceballos' conduct 'severe and outrageous' after discovering Nala 'was in serious physical distress with her lungs full of water, chest pulsating and hyperventilating'. When her dog's health began to crash after the routine grooming appointment, she was rushed to the vet, but within a few hours, the small pup passed away. The star said she has been left in emotional distress over the ordeal, especially given she witnessed Nala's death, and that her other dog Angel screams and shakes in terror when left alone after a grooming at the same place. However, from this tragedy also came another bombshell revelation for Nicola, who claimed it was after the death of Nala that she 'understood' Ceballos was also to blame for her French Bulldog Frankie's death in 2021. 'In the summer of 2021, Nicola had used HoundSpa to groom her French bulldog, named Frankie. Ceballos was the groomer whom HoundSpa sent for Frankie's grooming. 'Upon returning from his grooming with Ceballos, Frankie was in visible physical distress, repeatedly stumbling as if he had been sedated. The actress said that after taking him to multiple neurologists, one found that Frankie had fluid in his brain following up with a question on whether or not he had been in an accident. His worsening health caused the Frenchie to have his eye removed when part of his brain 'started concaving on itself' and he died a few months later. 'Nicola cried and cared for her dog – not at that time suspecting that an individual charged with caring for her dog would have hurt him.' She adds that another dog Angel still suffers from trauma after being groomed by Ceballos 'and has developed a fear of being left in a room alone and whenever left in a room alone, she starts to shake and scream in apparent terror'. Nicola also stated that her brother and his girlfriend's dog Banksy, who suffers from skin allergies, had a 'traumatic' experience with the groomer when he let the medicated allergy shampoo get into her eyes, causing them to be 'completely shut'. Despite the couple repeatedly warning Ceballos to avoid getting it in their eyes, Nicola claimed he 'showed clear frustration' and 'rushed the conversation'. In the aftermath of that grooming, Banksy's eyes were 'red and irritated, and had puss coming out of them'. But after they complained to Gittleman about Ceballos, no action was allegedly taken. In line with Nicola's claims, there are a slew of negative Google reviews on the company's page, such as from dog owner Lauren Krasne who alleged that her dog left the appointment with razor-inflicted cuts on her chest and stomach. 'Hound Spa was by far the worst grooming job my dogs have ever gotten. My younger dog came back to me with cuts from the razor on her chest and stomach and the groomer did not say anything about it,' Krasne raged in her review. 'Do not put your dogs in a dangerous situation and use them. Another reviewer, Carmen Santos said they would give a 'minus one' rating if they could after her three dogs were treated by Ceballos, saying that they 'would shake when they would see Johnny [sic]', who had a 'strange/bad vibe' and 'wasn't friendly'. Santos also added that the firm uses the car park of Northwind Kennels, in Bedford, whose owner Penny Berk was arrested last year on seven counts of animal cruelty. Another dog owner, Carmen Santos alleged that Ceballos has a 'strange/bad vibe' and that her dogs were terrified of the grooming, shaking every time they would see him. She also alleged that after she brought up her concerns to the owner, Ceballos remained on staff Santos adds: 'The fact that she was using the parking lot of Northwind Kennel - whose owner just got arrested two weeks ago for animal cruelty - is no coincidence. They are probably both in collusion. STAY AWAY from HOUND SPA.' It's alleged that Berk failed to properly treat a Bernese Mountain dog and her four puppies, who had to be put down, along with two other hounds. Berk had been investigated for a year by the SPCA Westchester Humane Law Enforcement Unit. It appears Santos is correct as HoundSpa's Facebook and website still gives the same address as Northwind Kennels. Although its FB page hasn't been updated for two years HoundSpa is now based in nearby Mount Kisco. In Nicola's complaint, she mentioned another awful review. 'Gittleman should never have allowed Ceballos to continue to groom pets after receiving multiple customer complaints concerning his mistreatment and abuse of animals. 'For example, a former customer described using HoundSpa to groom her puppy as a "Horrible experience []". 'The customer stated how the groomer "Jonny . . . mishandled the puppy (in front of several witnesses) in such a horrific manner the pup peed as he grabbed them!", that "all [of the puppy's] desensitization training has been replaced by trauma". 'The reviewer continued that following her dog's grooming, the "poor pup has been left traumatized just seeing the van". 'The customer also stated that she "can only imagine the treatment being done inside the closed van" and that she is "genuinely concerned for the well-being of [HoundSpa's and its groomer's] own dogs if this is the treatment they are receiving". 'She ended by saying she "highly DO NOT recommend them for the sake and love of your pets".'

Nicola Peltz to be questioned in court over dog's death amid Beckham family feud
Nicola Peltz's dog, Nala, was a rescue and had been part of Nicola's family for nine years before her death. Nicola said the dog breed usually lived until 14 to 16, but died younger due to 'groomer's abuse' Nicola Peltz will reportedly be questioned in court over her dog's death after her former groomer denied any wrongdoing in her lawsuit. It comes as Nicola is at the centre of a huge family feud with her husband, Brooklyn Beckham's immediate family, mainly David and Victoria Beckham. There has recently been a growing divide between the Beckhams, with sources close to the Beckhams branding Brooklyn and Nicola's relationship 'unhealthy' and claiming that Nicola has been 'isolating' Brooklyn from his family and friends. While the family has remained silent on the matter, Brooklyn seemingly responded to the claims and supported his wife, saying he would 'always' choose her in an Instagram post. Amid the family drama, Nicola reportedly has to head to court over her dog's death after a New York judge ordered the 30-year-old to appear for a deposition before October 30. According to the court documents seen by InTouch, she will also have to authorise the release of medical records, including the necropsy reports, related to her Chihuahua Nala's death. Last year, Nicola sued dog grooming company HoundSpa, the owner, Deborah Gittleman and groomer Jony Ceballos. She accused them of being responsible for the pooch's death. Nala was a rescue and had been part of Nicola's family for nine years before it's death. Nicola said the dog breed tends to live until 14 to 16 but died younger due to "groomer's abuse". She had claimed her family had problems with groomer Jony and requested he not be used on her animals. However, she claimed in June 2024 that "unbeknownst" to her, he was sent to her house to groom five of her dogs. The suit had alleged: 'Nala went into the grooming van, a happy, healthy dog, but returned injured and in severe physical distress— breathing heavily and wheezing, with her chest pulsating. As poor Nala suffered, Nicola rushed her to the vet, a fifteen-minute drive away. 'The vet observed that Nala's tongue was blue, she had fluid in her lungs, and she suffered neurological damage. Nala was put on oxygen and cared for as Nicola distressingly and emotionally witnessed her dog suffer." Nicola's lawyers also claimed: "Due to her injuries and severe condition, Nala tragically passed away a mere two hours after being in the van with the groomer," before alleging Jony failed to "properly care for her". The actress demanded unspecified damages, claiming all the money will be given to a dog rescue organisation. Houndspa and the owner have denied all allegations. Nicola, in a statement to PEOPLE, previously expressed her devastation: "[I am] in so much shock and pain over my baby Nala suddenly passing last month following what should have been a routine grooming session." The Mirror have reached out to Nicola for comment.

The couple, who have suffered their own personal experience of dog heartbreak, are reportedly setting up a new charity dog shelter together in Los Angeles. According to The Sun, the couple are launching the Peltz Beckham Foundation, in a bid to rescue and shelter homeless dogs. They have filed paperwork in California registering the non-profit organisation under bother their names. MailOnline have contacted representatives for comment. The pair tragically lost their pet chihuahua Nala in 2024 with the actress then taking legal action against the groomer who treated the pooch before she died. The actress reportedly filed a lawsuit against HoundSpa, which claims they are responsible for the death of her chihuahua Nala. According to TMZ, the lawsuit lays blame against dog groomer Jony Ceballos who Peltz alleges has a history of 'intentional and malicious abuse of dogs'. Nicola alleged Nala was left injured and in severe physical distress after a routine grooming in HoundSpa's mobile van. According to TMZ's sources, veterinary records indicated that the dog had fluid in her lungs, neurological problems, and a rapid heart rate before her death, though the exact cause of these issues remains unknown. Taking to Instagram with an emotional post at the time, Nicola penned: 'I am truly still in so much shock and pain over my baby Nala suddenly passing last month following what should have been a routine grooming session.' The upsetting post was accompanied with an image of Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham burying their beloved pet, as they embraced in front of a grave flanked with flowers. She continued: 'I posted the experience on my Instagram to bring awareness, and was heartbroken to hear the horrifying stories from so many others who have experienced the same tragedy. 'I can't bear it. I'm outraged to hear how common stories like Nala's are. 'We need to do better and change the laws to better protect fur babies and the loving owners who care for them. Our pets are our chosen family.' The star added: 'I've dedicated most of my life to saving dogs and I can't in good conscious let this horrifying act happen to more families.

Nicola was also reportedly taking legal action against HoundSpa owner Deborah 'Deb' Gittleman for keeping Ceballos on staff, despite there reportedly being past complaints about his behavior towards animals. The star said she has been left in emotional distress over the ordeal, especially given she witnessed Nala's death after rushing her to the vet following the grooming. The outlet also reported that Nicola's other dog Angel screams and shakes in terror when left alone now, following a grooming treatment. Nicola is already the founder and director of dog rescue shelter Yogi's House which works to save dogs from the euthanasia lists of overcrowded California shelters. The star regularly reshares posts to her Instagram Story to encourage adoption alongside fellow founder and director Emma Kenney. Reports of Nicola and Brooklyn's new venture comes amid an ongoing 'feud' with his family. Things came to a head when Brooklyn and Nicola were no shows at any of David's 50th birthday celebrations last week, with The Mail revealing that a rift with Nicola is at the centre of the breakdown in relations. Beckham family friends are also dismayed that Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull has been made the 'scapegoat' in the feud. David is allegedly 'desperate to make amends with Brooklyn as he fears history is repeating itself' following his bitter fall out with his father Ted in 2005. While David, 50, and Ted, 77, now share a close-knit relationship, the father-son duo were once not even on speaking terms. After Ted suffered a near-death health scare in 2007, it sparked the pair to make amends and get back in touch - and they have been close ever since. Now David is reportedly worried 'history is repeating itself' amid his rift with his and Victoria's eldest son Brooklyn. A close friend of David reportedly told The Sun: 'David and the family genuinely fear Brooklyn could be lost to them forever. 'The word 'lost', here, is especially poignant as it was the exact sentiment used when David fell out with his dad. Ted believed his son would never speak to him again, and he was heartbroken. It was an extremely tense few years, and devastated the whole family.' David previously revealed he had to wait 'over two decades' before getting any approval from his father over his successful football career. Chatting to James Corden on his podcast series This Life of Mine in 2024, David admitted his ambitious drive came from the desire to please his father Ted - earning a 'you've made it boy' only after he won 100 caps. 'My dad never told me I'd done well really until my hundredth cap. That was the first time my dad turned around to me and said, 'you've made it boy'. He said he didn't get the same recognition at any other point in his career despite six Premier League titles, two FA cups, four Community Shields and a Champions League title. David added: 'It was the moment that we sat at dinner after I'd won my hundredth cap in Paris and he put his arm around me, and said, 'you made it, boy.' The Beckhams have been hit by fears they won't be able to heal their rift with Brooklyn as Victoria has been having 'sleepless nights' over the feud. The fashion designer, 51, and her husband David are said to have been left heartbroken at the distance that has grown between them and their eldest son. A source told The Sun: 'This is Victoria's worst nightmare. The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights. 'It's been difficult with Brooklyn since he met Nicola, and there's no denying that there was a family fallout over their wedding. 'But Victoria and David have worked hard to get things back on track, so this is a real blow.' Elsewhere on Tuesday, Victoria took to Instagram to promote her business ventures as she remained silent on the ongoing rift claims. She shared a photograph with fashion critic Osama Chabbi, who recently interviewed her in Dubai as part of his series, where he has conversations with fashion designers. Her social media has been filled with photographs from various parties held to celebrate David's 50th birthday last week, including a bash at their Cotswolds home. The fun-filled celebrations culminated with a massive party held at London's esteemed Michelin-star restaurant Core on Saturday night. The bash was attended by A-list stars including Tom Cruise while David and Victoria's children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, all attended, though Brooklyn was notably absent. It was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola pulled out of attending the Met Gala with the intention of attending David's birthday party, but were no shows at both events. Brooklyn was reportedly planning to attend David's 50th birthday party, but felt too uncomfortable to come after he felt Nicola was being blamed for the rift with his family. Victoria (pictured with David on Saturday) has reportedly been having 'sleepless nights' amid her ongoing rift with her son Brooklyn She shared a photograph with fashion critic Osama Chabbi, who recently interviewed her in Dubai as part of his series, where he has conversations with fashion designers Claims that Brooklyn and Nicola were rebuffed when they asked David and Victoria to celebrate David's birthday privately were also said to be untrue. Sources close to Nicola told US website TMZ they wanted 'to get together privately' to avoid Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull as the couple are said to 'have a problem' with her. Brooklyn missed out on David's early celebrations in Miami last month as well as parties in the Cotswolds, France and London last week. Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a 'boys' fishing trip to celebrate his 50th. The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz. Sources have suggested that Brooklyn's decision was influenced by his American actress wife Nicola. 'Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago,' one claimed. 'Then he came to London in time but he didn't go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.' David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: 'You were missed @brooklynbeckham.' The Mail revealed Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull is being made the 'scapegoat' in the feud between Brooklyn and David - with Nicola 'at the centre' of the rift. Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together in 2016 show - but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark, according to well-informed sources who spoke to The Mail. In fact, younger brother Cruz, 20, personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together. In a now-deleted message, one user commented: 'It's appropriate to date your brother's ex too? Cool.' Cruz replied: 'Brooklyn and Kim never dated.' One friend told the Mail's Katie Hind at the weekend: 'This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola. 'All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.' Family friends claim Brooklyn's wife has a pattern of 'starting an argument' before family events and then preventing her husband from attending. Some believe that friends of Nicola have been behind the briefings about Kim being the cause of Brooklyn's rift with his family, some of which went so far to claim that he had told them he refused to come to any event at which Kim was present. A source close to the family told MailOnline: 'Brooklyn was close to Kim because she was dating Rocco and they all hung out in a tightknit friendship group. But that was years ago. Brooklyn and Kim were close, but there was never any romance. 'It seems Nicola doesn't like Brooklyn spending any time with the Beckhams full stop and is using his previous closeness to Kim and her getting in with the family as a reason to not be around them. 'She denies it, but Nicola has been controlling him since the wedding. The family - including the brothers - have had enough of it. 'This is the narrative that's been put out to other news outlets, that Romeo is dating his brother's ex-girlfriend - and that's really weird, so that's why they wouldn't want to be around the family when she is there. 'But none of this is true. And it's really upset Romeo and his parents because Kim is seemingly being used by Nicola as a reason to start the rift. Romeo is furious at the suggestion that he would bring an ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn into the family when there never was any romance.'
