Key Points:
- Alanis Morissette has filed a lawsuit accusing her former tour manager, Keren Urinov, of a "calculated blackmail campaign," alleging Urinov threatened to report her for drug trafficking unless she was employed full-time with high compensation.
- Morissette claims Urinov attempted to extort her by demanding a 15-year contract as tour director with significant salary and bonuses, following an incident where Urinov's bag containing alleged drugs was seized at an airport in June 2025.
- The singer is suing for civil extortion, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, seeking over $75,000 in damages and a jury trial, while also stating Urinov was a poor manager responsible for costly errors during the 2025 tour.
- Urinov has filed a separate legal claim against Morissette in London, reportedly involving defamation and harassment, and her attorney denies any blackmail, emphasizing a willingness to let the court determine the truth of the matter.
