The "Wrecking Ball" hit maker's half-sister Brandi Cyrus was recently sued by a Los Angeles-based model namedYolande Ngom, TMZ reported.
Professionally known as Mancini, Ngom is suing the 27-year-old presenter and blogger and her pop star sister's production company Smiley Miley for medical bills and lost wages among others, according to court documents.
Ngom claimed she was attacked by Cyrus' German Shepherd named Feather in the apartment building where they both live in.
According to the model, one of Smiley Miley's employees was handling the dog and allowed the attack after failing to keep it under control.
Due to the unprovoked bite, Ngom said her right thigh was ripped open so the scars may cause her to never be able to work as a model again, Daily Mail has learned.
Aside from currently running a blog called Style Native and hosting her own talk show called "Brandiville" since 2013, Cyrus, who is also an equestrian, will play the role Angel in the 2014 horror film "Old 37."
After marrying their mother Leticia "Tish" Finley in 1993, Grammy-nominated singer Billy Ray Cyrus adopted the "Old 37" actress and younger brother Trace.
As a dog lover, pop star Miley Cyrus currently takes care of four dogs, Rough Collie Emu, Pitt Bull Mary Jane, Rottweiler-beagle mix Happy, and Chihuahua mix Bean.
In 2013, the "Wrecking Ball" hit maker's Yorkshire Terrier Lila was killed by her then fiancé Liam Hemsworth's English Bulldog Ziggy and in April, her Alaskan Klee Kai Floyd was killed by a coyote.
Recently, the 21-year-old pop star was in New Zealand for her "Bangerz Tour" and her show at the Vector Arena was criticized for its obscenity and low-quality sound mix, according to New Zealand Herald.
The singer reportedly did not know what she was really singing at some point. She was also seen spitting water on her fans and she encouraged her female fans to get naked.
After New Zealand, she flew to Australia as part of her "Bangerz Tour."
