California lifetime actress Natasha Wilson claims brutal dog attack left her with permanent facial scar and cost her livelihood

Natasha Wilson was walking her French bulldog in a West Hollywood dog park on a random night when she was allegedly attacked and bitten in the face by another dog which led to serious injuries. She has filed a lawsuit for the incident claiming that it left her with lasting facial damage, required emergency treatment and affected her ability to work.

Wilson, who has appeared in Lifetime television movies including ‘The Best Version of Love’ and ‘Single and Ready to Jingle’, is seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, as reported by the NY Post.

The allegations have not been established in court. The lawsuit names Gregory Marcel, the owner of the dog involved in the incident.


According to the complaint cited by the California Post, Wilson was walking her French bulldog at West Hollywood Dog Park at approximately 9:40 p.m. on November 7, 2024, when she encountered Marcel and his dog, Scruffy.

The lawsuit alleges that Scruffy approached Wilson's dog and adopted what the filing describes as an “aggressive and dominant posture.”

Wilson picked up her bulldog, but Scruffy allegedly jumped on her, causing her to lose hold of the smaller dog. Then, the NY Post reports citing the suit, “Scruffy continued to attack, while Wilson was on the ground attempting to shield her dog with her body and hands.”

“During the attack Scruffy bit Wilson on the face, above her right eyebrow, causing a laceration and bleeding,” the lawsuit states.

Wilson subsequently went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's emergency department with Marcel, according to the filing. She received stitches and was prescribed antibiotics.

The lawsuit claims the bite left Wilson with a lasting scar above her right eyebrow, along with changes to her eyebrow's appearance and hair growth.

The complaint also alleges that she has experienced impaired movement of her right eyebrow and continuing pain.

According to the filing, Wilson has been advised that she needs scar revision surgery and further medical treatment.

The actress claims the injury has affected her professional life, preventing her from attending her usual work and reducing her ability to earn money.
