Nicola Peltz’s billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia, are being sued by their former housekeeper, who is alleging their pit bull caused her injuries in multiple dog attacks.
According to a Page Six report published on Friday, May 23, the Peltz’s ex-housekeeper, Mileydis Morejon, is suing for $75,000.
Per the outlet, documents show that Morejon claimed the “vicious” and “untrained” family dog Houdini attacked her several times in 2023 in the family’s $100 million Florida mansion.
In the documents, Morejon claimed the pit bull “ripped” her clothes in one incident, while in another incident, Morejon “fell to the ground attempting to escape” after the dog reportedly “lunged at and attempted to attack the Plaintiff,” per the Page Six report. In one incident, Morejon claims she was forced to try to defend herself with a vacuum.

According to the outlet, Morejon described Houdini as having a “vicious nature” and “vicious disposition,” as well as “a propensity to attack/or attempt attacks which was known or should have been known by defendants.”
In the lawsuit, which was filed in December 2024, Morejon is accusing her former employers Nelson, 82, and Claudia, 70, of “negligence,” and is claiming she suffered “physical and mental pain and suffering, disability, physical impairment, disfigurement,” as well as “mental anguish.” The plaintiff is also claiming to have suffered loss of earnings and a loss of “capacity for the enjoyment of life.”
Per Page Six, Morejon also cited hospital and medical bills in the lawsuit due the alleged injuries caused by the dog attacks.
Nelson and Claudia denied negligence in the case, and filed a response in May 2025, reported the publication.
The response claimed that it is “undisputed” that Morejon “did not suffer from a dog bite” and alleged that the former housekeeper did not come into physical contact with the dog, and therefore should “not be entitled to recover compensation” due to the alleged incidents.

According to Page Six, Nelson also claimed that as the housekeeper, Morejon “interacted” with, “routinely encountered,” and “cleaned up after” Houdini and because of this, could have adjusted to its behavior.
