On July 10, Claudia and Nelson Peltz, the parents of Brooklyn Peltz Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, were sued over a second alleged dog attack in two years, according to court records obtained by People.
The lawsuit was filed by Joy Ransom, who claims she was attacked by the billionaire couple’s rescue dog, Houdini, on December 23, 2025. Nicola Peltz Beckham was also reportedly present at the time of the alleged incident.
Ransom, who was working at their residence at the time preparing gifts for the holidays, argues that the family was aware Houdini had a history of being "prone to attack people," and yet he never had any behavioral training. Her lawsuit alleges she "incurred medical expenses" after the attack. She is seeking US$50,000 in damages.
Claudia and Nelson Peltz were previously sued by another former employee in Palm Beach County, Florida, in 2024. According to Ransom’s court documents, the employee submitted that Houdini was "lunging and attempting to attack" her, causing her to fall and suffer injuries.
