A 2018 lawsuit filed against French Montana over a dog bite has wound down to its conclusion, with a jury having determined the plaintiff should be paid tens of thousands of dollars in economic loss.
Per a report from TMZ on Monday, a jury in California has awarded French’s former pool cleaner, Juan Lomeli, with a total of $129,500 in various damages in connection with the bite incident. In short, Lomeli previously accused French’s pet—identified in the report as a German Shepherd by the name of Zane—of “viciously attacking him” while he was working on French’s pool in May 2017.
Due to the injuries Lomeli said he sustained during the incident, he was left unable to continue his work for a period of time, which he further argued resulted in a loss of would-be earnings. Monday’s TMZ update on the lawsuit also includes a rundown of how the aforementioned settlement of just under $130,000 is divided. Past economic loss in the amount of $39,500, past non-economic loss of $60,000, and future non-economic loss of $30,000 are all included in the newly reported figure.
French hasn’t publicly commented on the suit. This past weekend, French was among those enlisted as presenters for the 2022 edition of the Billboard Music Awards ceremony in Las Vegas. In April, he joined DreamDoll on the track “Ice Cream Dream” and shared the solo track “Big Comfy.” The latter, which marked a collaborative effort with ginger ale brand Canada Dry, was also commemorated with an official video.
