Overview
- Morissette filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles Tuesday accusing former tour manager Keren Urinov of civil extortion, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation.
- The complaint says Urinov threatened to tell British authorities that drugs found in a July 2025 airport search belonged to Morissette unless Morissette signed a 15-year, highly paid management contract.
- Court papers allege that during the 2025 incident Urinov told U.K. border officers the seized bag and its contents were hers and showed an Israeli medical marijuana license before being released.
- Morissette says she refused the demand partly because Urinov performed poorly on the tour, citing a hotel-booking mistake that cost Morissette $70,000, and that Urinov later sent increasingly extortionate letters.
- Urinov reportedly filed a separate claim in London’s King’s Bench Division in August, neither Urinov nor Live Nation has publicly responded, and the case could produce cross-border discovery that tests competing versions of events.
