Las Vegas<\/a> entertainer Wayne Newton is being sued by a woman who claims his pet monkey bit and injured her daughter during a visit to the singer\u2019s former mansion-turned-tourist attraction two years ago, The Associated Press<\/em><\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Jocelyne Urena, a Vegas resident, filed a civil negligence complaint on behalf of her daughter, Genevieve, on Wednesday. She\u2019s seeking at least $15,000 in damages.<\/p>\n

Genevieve was 15-years-old when, during a tour of Newton\u2019s former home, Casa de Shenandoah, a capuchin monkey named Boo allegedly bit her right wrist. The lawsuit alleges the monkey \u2013 who was not caged or on a leash at the time \u2013 attacked Genevieve without provocation. Urena\u2019s lawyer said Genevieve required hospital treatment, follow-up medical treatment and counseling, while the bite also left her with a scar.<\/p>\n

In response to the lawsuit, Newton\u2019s wife, Kathleen McCrone Newton, shared a statement with the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em><\/a>, noting that Newton\u2019s company severed ties with the company running Casa de Shenandoah in July 2017, three months prior to the alleged monkey attack. Ironically, McCrone Newton said the family pulled out of the business venture \u201cdue to Wayne\u2019s almost dying from a spider bite\u201d and being hospitalized.<\/p>\n

McCone Newton added, \u201c[W]e are not party and have no idea what happened in Oct. 2017\u2026 John Munson and his company took over July 1, 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newton and his family lived at Casa de Shenandoah for over 40 years, but sold it in 2010 to investors, who converted it into a tourist spot and museum (the company, CSD LLC, is also named in Urena\u2019s lawsuit). Newton and his family moved to a different home in 2013.<\/p>\n
