HEIGL BITES BACK IN LAWSUIT OVER RESCUE MUTTS

Barks that she's been ruffed up by smear campaign

- 

ANIMAL LOVER Katherine Heigl’s career has been in the doghouse for years, and now she’s locked in a legal battle with a California canine rescue organization!

The Grey’s Anatomy alum, who hamstrung her once blossoming career by dissing the TV hit and her movie Knocked Up, filed a defamation lawsuit against The Pitty Committee (TPC) and its owner Alyssa Deetman for allegedly spreading false information about the Jason Heigl Foundation (JHF).

According to court docs, in January 2023 Heigl’s charity — which she founded with her mom, Nancy, and named after her late brother — entered into an agreement to provide monthly funding to TPC for “rescuing a minimum prescribed number of dogs of JHF’s choosing.”
