Lady Gaga just won a legal case over her huge dog reward offer that a woman was trying to claim — ’cause a judge just told her … ya can’t have your stolen cake and eat it too.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge tossed Jennifer McBride‘s lawsuit against the singer … in which she was attempting to get a court to force Gaga to fork over a $500k reward that she promised to anyone who helped recover her stolen pets in 2021.

The judge said one major problem with McBride’s lawsuit — she was actually convicted in connection to that crime … namely, pleading no contest to knowingly receiving stolen property.

Hizzoner makes it clear in the ruling — saying allowing McBride to pursue the claims “would allow her to benefit from her admitted wrongdoing.” Lady Gaga has called it ridiculous … now, a court agrees. AKA, uh … duh! The judge did say McBride would have 20 days to try to amend the complaint, but it’s not clear how she could find a way around the ruling.

You’ll recall … Gaga’s 2 Frenchies were jacked in plain sight out in Hollywood — being taken at gunpoint, no less, and with some injury sustained by LG’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer. He was shot at the time and hospitalized, but eventually (and thankfully) made a full recovery.

Her dogs have since been returned … and she didn’t have to shell out a dime of the reward.
