Alanis Morissette Accuses Ex-Tour Manager of Extortion Scheme in Lawsuit

Alanis Morissette has filed a lawsuit against her former tour manager, Keren Urinov, alleging that he extorted her by threatening to accuse her of drug trafficking unless she agreed to a 15-year contract. In a federal lawsuit filed in California, Morissette claims that Urinov falsely told her that British authorities had seized a bag containing marijuana and an illicitly used tranquilizer during a 2025 European tour.

Morissette further alleges that Urinov confessed to past drug smuggling charges in Latin America and began sending "extortionate letters" with threats of lawsuits and immigration issues unless she signed the new contract. Morissette is seeking a jury trial, damages of over $75,000, and a punitive fine against Urinov.
