RHOSLC star Bronwyn Newport’s husband Todd sued for $360k after dogs ‘attack two delivery drivers’ at $6m Utah mansion

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Bronwyn Newport’s husband, Todd Bradley, has been sued over claims their dogs have attacked delivery drivers.

Bronwyn, 39, and Todd, 65, have six Boxers – Zoe, Claire, Francis, Petey Remy and Freddie – who have made several appearances on recent episodes of RHOSLC.

Bronwyn’s RHOSLC co-star Heather Gay called out the dogs’ unruly behavior – pointing out poop on the floor – after visiting the couple’s $6 million mansion on the October 30 episode of the Bravo show.

But fans may not be aware that the pups are allegedly known for attacking people, particularly delivery personnel who drop off packages at their home.

According to Utah court documents exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, Todd was sued twice in the past two years for incidents involving the family’s dogs. (Bronwyn was not named in the suit.)

‘PAIN AND SUFFERING’

The tech exec was sued by a female employee of the grocery delivery app Instacart in a lawsuit filed on February 28, 2024.

Recounting the alleged incident, the woman claimed she was dropping off a delivery ordered by Todd at his home in Salt Lake City in August 2022.

 “During the delivery, she was suddenly attacked by one of Bradley’s dogs which was on the property,” the docs claimed.

Without knowing the specific dog’s name, she claimed she was “attacked, bitten, and scratched” by the pet.

Following the alleged attack, the complainant said she “sustained significant physical injuries, suffering both special and general damages including, but not limited to medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional trauma, permanent disfigurement, loss of earning capacity, lost wages, and loss of capacity and enjoyment of life.”

The delivery driver claimed in her suit that this wasn’t the first time someone had been attacked. 

The dogs “have bitten or otherwise attacked other visitors and guests on the property,” she noted in the docs obtained by The U.S. Sun.

The woman is suing for strict liability and negligence because she believed Todd “disregarded or otherwise failed to contain his dogs or prevent them from attacking” her.

She further claimed he did not “maintain proper control of his dogs” or use “reasonable care,” and did not “warn delivery personnel about dangerous conditions on the property.”

In the complaint, the driver requested the court award her special and general damages to be determined at trial but “no less than $60,000.”

She’s also asking for pre and post-judgment interest on all damages, plus costs and attorney fees involved. In addition, she demanded a jury trial.

On April 24, 2024, Todd filed his response to her complaint, denying she was “suddenly attacked” and “sustained significant physical injuries.” 

He also denied her claims due to “lack of sufficient knowledge and information.”

Todd said in his response that the woman was barred from recovering damages for a number of reasons, including that damages were the “direct and proximate result of intervening and superseding events” over which he exercised no control or right of control.

Bronwyn’s husband requested the court dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice.

The case is still ongoing and initial discovery is due in early December.

Todd’s lawyer did not respond to The U.S. Sun’s call for comment.

SECOND ALLEGED ATTACK

Four months before this alleged incident, another individual claimed he was also attacked by Todd and Bronwyn’s dogs.

In a separate lawsuit filed on April 12, 2023, a male Amazon employee sued Todd for an incident that allegedly occurred while delivering a package from the online retail shop in April 2022.

The man “was suddenly attacked by Bradley’s dogs, which were on the property,” the complaint states.

He claimed he was “attacked, bitten, and scratched by the dogs” and that he sustained the same injuries as the female driver – “significant physical injuries, suffering both special and general damages including, but not limited to medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional trauma, permanent disfigurement, loss of earning capacity, lost wages, and loss of capacity and enjoyment of life.”

He was allegedly aware that the dogs had “bitten or otherwise attacked other visitors and guests on the property” and that Todd “did nothing to contain his dogs or prevent them from attacking” him.

The “attack was foreseeable to Bradley, as unrestrained dogs can attack people, Bradley knew about other instances in which his dogs attacked other people, and delivery people are common uninvited guests,” he claimed.

In the filing, the driver requested the court award him special and general damages to be determined at trial but “no less than $300,000.” 

He also sought pre and post-judgment interest on all damages, plus costs and attorney fees involved in the lawsuit.

CASE SETTLED

While the first case remains open, the second case was dismissed a few months after it was initiated.

 A notice of intent to dismiss the case was filed on October 2, 2023 “due to inactivity.”

Four days later, a notice of dismissal with prejudice was filed by the complainant and each party was responsible for their own attorney fees and costs. Bradley never filed a response to the complaint or motion for summary judgment.

However, the parties have reached a “mutual settlement,” according to the dismissal doc obtained by The U.S. Sun. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.

Todd, who reportedly has a net worth of $45 million, and Bronwyn purchased their $6 million mansion in 2021.

This season follows the RHOSLC star as she finishes remodeling her home, which used to be an “old, haunted house,” and working with an interior designer to bring her vision to life.

She was introduced to the cast by friend Lisa Barlow, but now, fans are starting to see their falling-out.

The Vida Tequila founder and her husband, John, were even kicked out of the couple’s trip to Palm Springs due to Bradley not wanting any drama at the $20k per night rental.

The drama continues when new episodes of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City air every Wednesday at 9pm ET on Bravo.
