Dog Owner Sues PetSmart, Claims Staff Suffocated Pet During Nail Clipping

A standard grooming appointment at a PetSmart turned into an emergency crisis — one that resulted in the death of a pooch … according to a new lawsuit.
Ashley “AJ” Ross is suing the pet store retailer over the 2020 death of her poodle, Kobe — which happened after she dropped off her pooch for a nail clipping at a PetSmart in Pittsburgh, PA.
In the lawsuit, she lays blame directly at the feet of the store’s employees — and adds, the store’s own surveillance video is the most compelling evidence supporting her case.
The footage is tough to watch. You see Ross drop the dog off with the staff, having already placed a muzzle on its mouth, and then leave. The workers then take it to the back and lift it onto a table.
That’s where things get wild … it appears the employees put 2 different harnesses around Kobe’s neck — one from the top and one from the bottom — seemingly to keep the dog in place while they try to work on its paws.
Kobe thrashes around, and they eventually tip the poodle over on its side for easier access … at least that’s what Ross claims in her suit.
Soon enough, the dog goes limp and the workers try waking it up, to no avail. Ross says when she returned a mere 10 minutes later, she discovered her dog was dead — and she believes the way the PetSmart employees harnessed Kobe during the nail clipping caused the dog to lose consciousness and die.
According to documents, Ashley claims PetSmart has allowed this to happen to other pets over the years — upwards of 47 have allegedly been killed by PetSmart groomers since 2009 — and now she wants damages.
A rep for PetSmart tells TMZ … “All of us are heartbroken by and truly sorry for the loss of Kobe. Following this terrible accident in 2020, we immediately launched an internal investigation and cooperated with the authorities involved. In response, we terminated the associates who violated our pet safety policies and did not meet our high standards of care.”
“We proudly perform more than 13 million grooming services per year and the actions of these two associates do not represent the standard of care provided by our more than 10,000 salon associates.”

Jason Varitek’s Wife Rips Curt Schilling For Revealing Tim Wakefield’s Cancer Diagnosis

10:29 AM PT — The Red Sox just confirmed Curt Schilling did reveal Tim Wakefield‘s diagnosis without the former pitcher’s permission … saying in a statement Tim and his wife’s “health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease.”
The MLB team added that the Wakefields are asking for “privacy at this time.”
The wife of Red Sox legend Jason Varitek is furious with Curt Schilling for revealing Tim Wakefield’s cancer diagnosis … saying straight up on Thursday, “F*** you Curt Schilling.”
The former Boston star pitcher leaked the news of Wakefield’s tragic health condition on his “The Curt Schilling Baseball Show” podcast on Wednesday … admitting at the time, “I don’t even know if he wants it shared.”
“But, as a Christian and a man of faith,” Schilling continued, “I’ve seen prayer work and so I’m going to talk about it.”

The Curt Schilling Baseball Show
Schilling then revealed Wakefield — a knuckleballer who starred for the Red Sox from 1995 to 2011 — is battling “a very serious, very aggressive form of brain cancer.”
Schilling went on to call the situation “incredibly serious” … adding that Wakefield recently underwent surgery for the issue. Schilling then asked for prayers.
Many, however, slammed the former World Series MVP for leaking the diagnosis to the public before Wakefield could … including Catherine Varitek, who tweeted, “F*** you Curt Schilling, that wasn’t your place!”
Schilling has yet to respond to the backlash.
For his part, Wakefield has not commented on the matter either.

Home Depot Says Surveillance Footage Shows Tyrese Gibson Is Lying

Home Depot says Tyrese Gibson is lying about racism in his $1 million lawsuit against them … and they say there’s video evidence backing them up.
Home Depot just responded to Tyrese’s lawsuit … pushing back against his claims of racial discrimination on the part of their cashiers.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Home Depot claims Tyrese came into their store and brought a bunch of items to the cash register, where the cashier scanned everything. HD says Tyrese then went back for more shopping, leaving the register for 25 minutes and forcing the cashier to clear out his transaction.
It’s a different story from Tyrese’s original complaint, where he claims a computer glitch caused the delay. He also said that because of the alleged delay, people started recognizing him and, feeling uncomfortable, he went to the parking lot instead of staying around to oversee the transaction

BACKGRID
Tyrese claimed he told the cashier his two helpers would finish the purchase with his credit card and said she understood his instructions before he left the store … and said he was told he could go wait outside and she would finish the transaction.
Home Depot claims their surveillance shows Tyrese did NOT speak face-to-face with any of their cashiers.
Remember … Tyrese also claimed he got on FaceTime with a cashier from outside the store and authorized her to complete the transaction his partners were trying to make, but he claimed she wouldn’t let them pay for the items with his card until he came back into the store to show his ID.

But, according to Home Depot, the cashier simply asked Tyrese for ID and said FaceTime wasn’t good enough and that he had to physically come back into the store to show ID.
HD says surveillance footage shows Tyrese coming back into the store and getting into a heated discussion, which ends with him showing his ID and the cashier completing his transaction.

BACKGRID
Tyrese told us it was hard to sue Home Depot because he’s a longtime customer and the store is like his Disneyland … but Home Depot says they don’t know how long he’s shopped there and aren’t sure how much he’s spent over the years — Tyrese claims it’s close to $10 million over 2 decades.
We reached out to Tyrese’s legal team … so far no word back.

Taylor Swift Gives Ice Spice Top Props: ‘Impresses the Hell Out of Me’

Taylor Swift and Ice Spice became fast friends ahead of their “Karma” collab … and it turns out TS is a big admirer of the “Munch” rapper’s budding career!!!
Ice graced the cover for the latest issue of Variety, which dropped Thursday, and it includes some commentary from Taylor, who gushed about the breakout star … “I relate to Ice in many ways. She’s extremely professional without being cold.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
TS continued, “She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”
A cosign from Taylor can be as beneficial as winning an award, and Ice has been racking up plenty of accolades this year — most notably getting 3 of her songs into the top 5 of Billboard’s Hot 100, one of them being her Swift duet. Taylor’s fans in NJ got a live taste of “Karma” during the Eras Tour.
Ice previously stated she was floored by Taylor casually waiting for her at the studio when they recorded “Karma” … but Taylor says Ice was on her j-o-b as well, arriving at the studio with her verse ready to go, and sending her vocals beforehand to ensure they were on the same page!!!
Ice says she officially feels like “that girl,” being able to text Taylor and Nicki Minaj on the whim. Hell, maybe she got the tea on Travis Kelce before the rest of us!!!
