Alanis Morissette extortion lawsuit

Overview

Singer Alanis Morissette has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court against her former tour manager, Keren Urinov, alleging civil extortion, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation.

The legal dispute originates from a July 2025 incident at Farnborough Airport in the United Kingdom. While traveling from the UK to Spain, British Border Force officials flagged a bag containing marijuana and xylazine. Morissette alleges that Urinov, a former Live Nation Israel executive, initially claimed ownership of the substances using an Israeli medical marijuana license but later threatened to falsely report that the drugs belonged to the singer.

Morissette claims these threats were part of a ‘calculated blackmail campaign’ intended to coerce her into signing a 15-year employment contract as a tour director involving significant compensation and bonuses. The singer’s legal team described subsequent communications from Urinov and her attorney as “extortionate letters.” The filing also cites previous logistical errors, such as a $70,000 hotel booking mistake attributed to Urinov.

In the legal filing, Morissette is seeking a jury trial and requesting $75,000 in damages, along with penalties.
