The perception may be that anything goes for private jet travelers, but as Jennifer Lopez is finding out, there are some limits to what you can get away with aboard a private jet. As first reported in the New York Daily News, NetJets flight attendant Lisa Watson filed a suit against the Latin diva seeking $5 million in damages from an alleged bite made by Lopez’s guard dog aboard a flight from Farmingdale, NY to Burbank, CA on July 3, 2006.

According to Wilson, 90 minutes into the flight, the dog attacked her and bit into her pant leg as she walked down the cabin of the Gulfstream G-IV. As she tried to get away, Wilson says she twisted and fell, injuring her back in the process. The injuries she sustained would eventually require surgery, and prevented her from being able to work since the incident.

Lopez’s guard dog, Floyd, a German shepherd, had been listed on the plane’s manifest as “a well-behaved guard dog.” Nevertheless, according to the filings, Lopez instructed Wilson on how to act around the animal. Wilson’s suit maintains that Lopez is “absolutely liable for all injuries” since “she should have known the dog had vicious properties.” In addition to targeting Lopez personally, the suit is also going after her production company, Nuyorican Productions.
