The legal fallout continues for actor and singer Tyrese Gibson after his neighbor, Harrison Parker, hired attorney Claudine Wilkins following an incident in which Tyrese’s dogs allegedly mauled and killed Parker’s pet. Wilkins, a well-known personal injury lawyer who specializes in dog bite cases, confirmed she has been retained and plans to contact Tyrese’s legal team later this week. She noted that her team is still gathering evidence before determining their next course of action.
Wilkins, who also serves as the executive director of The Animal Protection Society, advocates for responsible pet ownership and public safety through education and legal reform. Her involvement signals that the dispute may escalate into a high-profile civil case. She emphasized that her organization’s mission is to “protect victims and promote accountability” in cases involving animal attacks.
The fatal incident occurred on September 18, when Tyrese’s dogs reportedly roamed his neighborhood unsupervised before attacking Parker’s pet. Parker, who has publicly urged Tyrese to “take responsibility,” said he is considering a lawsuit. The Fast & Furious star was arrested on animal cruelty charges following the attack and later released on a $20,000 bond as investigations continue.
