Lovely Peaches arrested for animal cruelty over alleged dog abuse Instagram: LovelyPeachesPublic records have revealed that content creator Lovely Peaches was arrested on animal cruelty charges on 22 January, after uploading videos on social media. Update February 18 Police body-cam footage obtained by Insider shows the exchange that led to Lovely Peaches\u2019 dog being taken away. During the interaction, she can be heard saying \u201cI knew it would get me attention on the internet,\u201d after officers asked her why she threatened her dog. Original story follows below. Social media users have demanded that Peaches, real name Brittany Johnson, be held accountable this week after she uploaded a series of disturbing photos and videos of her allegedly abusing 6-month-old puppy, Max. Some of the upsetting content included choking the dog, kicking it and spraying perfume in its eyes. The day before Johnson was arrested, she uploaded a picture to Instagram depicting her hanging the dog on a coat hanger. Following the public outcry to these posts, with several social media users contacting PETA, animal control and local authorities, public website Jail View confirms that DeKalb County Police Department arrested Johnson at 6:32PM EST on Friday 22 January. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1353093005092118528 There is uncertainty on the dog\u2019s current welfare. This is because the day before her arrest, Brittany uploaded an image to Instagram claiming that the dog had died. This comes after she previously told her followers: \u201cIf this one dies too, I\u2019ll eat it on live for you guys.\u201d YouTuber DefNoodles claims to have received \u201cmixed reports\u201d on the dog\u2019s status. He explained to a fan: \u201cAt this time, I can\u2019t confirm any of it. Still looking for a source. Will update when I do.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/kimmy__cole\/status\/1353125753898954752 However, several Twitter users have claimed to be in touch with local authorities, which gives hope that the dog is safe. One Twitter user claims to have spoken to both animal control and DeKalb County, and says that they have requested access to an open record report to verify this.

There is also a TikTok circulating by user White Plastic that appears to show Max being placed in police custody. I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s going on right now and haven\u2019t been able to call the number provided to confirm myself- but this user called animal control and they said they have the dog and he\u2019s alive and safe. Hopefully that\u2019s the case. pic.twitter.com\/Ng6PYWoUyS \u2014 Weirdly (@WeirdlyOfficial) January 21, 2021 This isn\u2019t the first time Brittany has been involved in abuse cases. She is previously alleged to have shown a dead dog on her Instagram live, and in July her young daughter, which Johnson previously said online that she planned to sell to human traffickers, was placed in the custody of her father. It is unclear both whether the dog is alive and how long Brittany will be police custody for. We will update this story with news as it emerges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
