Peppa Pig rides her bicyle in a scene from one of the "Tickle U" series of cartoons. Cartoon Network/AP  by [Charlotte Alter](https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/)  ## Charlotte Alter Senior Correspondent Nov 17, 2014 7:45 PM UTC An adult Italian woman who shares a name with an animated goat in the popular _Peppa Pig_ children’s series is demanding €100,000 ($124,500) in compensation from the show’s producers because she’s been “teased” about it. Gabriella Capra, 40, is suing London animation firm Astley Baker Davies for damages after she was mocked by her presumably adult friends for sharing a name with “Gabriella Goat,” a minor character in a television show aimed at toddlers. “Capra” means “goat” in Italian, so when the series was broadcast in Italy, “Gabriella Goat” became “Gabriella Capra,” the Guardian [reports.](http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/nov/16/italian-woman-sues-peppa-pig) In the show, Gabriella Goat is a friendly Italian goat who shows Peppa Pig around when she and her family visit Italy on vacation. She is also the niece of Uncle Goat, who makes pizza. She bleats, because she is a goat. Capra says she will donate any damages to charities for abandoned children. \[[_The Guardian_](http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/nov/16/italian-woman-sues-peppa-pig)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3590009/peppa-pig-woman-sue/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3590009/peppa-pig-woman-sue/"},"headline":"Woman Sues Peppa Pig Producers Over Goat That Shares Her Name","datePublished":"2014-11-17T19:45:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:17.791Z","description":"Grown woman says she's been mocked because she shares a name with a children's character","url":"https://time.com/3590009/peppa-pig-woman-sue/","keywords":["Living","Parenting","Television","Lawsuit","Animation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c582f00a6516627/69876925e53aba86304d5f5b/peppa-pig.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c582f00a6516627/69876925e53aba86304d5f5b/peppa-pig.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Peppa Pig rides her bicyle in a scene from one of the \"Tickle U\" series of cartoons.","caption":"Peppa Pig rides her bicyle in a scene from one of the \"Tickle U\" series of cartoons.","creditText":"Cartoon Network/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3590009/peppa-pig-woman-sue/","name":"Woman Sues Peppa Pig Producers Over Goat That Shares Her Name"}}]}] ```
