According to Consequence.net, Alanis Morissette has sued her former tour manager by accusing the person of allegedly blackmailing her with alleged threats of trumping up drug trafficking charges unless the singer-songwriter signed 15-year contract. In a lawsuit filed in a California federal court Tuesday, Morissette lobbed claims of alleged extortion, alleged fraud and alleged negligent misrepresentation against her 2025 European tour manager Keren Urinov.
“Morissette brings this lawsuit reluctantly,” the complaint said. “But Morissette will not agree to work with an incompetent blackmailer for the next fifteen years or pay her a ransom under the gun.” The lawsuit alleges that British airport authorities arrested Urinov in 2025 as Morissette and crew were flying from the U.K. to Spain for a concert. After reconnecting, Urinov told Morissette that the British authorities flagged a bag that allegedly contained marijuana, which she carried with an Israeli medical permit and xylazine, which is an animal tranquilizer that’s illicitly used”, according to the complaint.
During the tour, Urinov allegedly confessed to Morissette that she had allegedly once been arrested in Latin America for smuggling drugs in surfboard, the legal document said. This was a shock because Urinov had allegedly told the musician that nothing in her past would cause touring complications. Morissette claims that after the tour, Urinov and her lawyer allegedly began sending “increasingly extortionate letters” to Morissette by allegedly threatening her with a “patently frivolous” lawsuit and allegedly making it clear that they would allegedly report drug trafficking charges to U.K. police against Morissette unless she signed the tour manager to an alleged 15-year contract with annual raises and bonuses as well as obtains an immigration attorney that will get Urinov permission to work in the U.S.
