Alanis Morissette accuses ex-tour manager of blackmail
The "Ironic" singer calls Keren Urinov "a terrible manager" and an "incompetent blackmailer."
In a legal battle, Alanis Morissette is suing her former tour manager, Keren Urinov, alleging that Urinov engaged in a "calculated blackmail campaign," according to court documents obtained by TheWrap. The lawsuit accuses Urinov of civil extortion, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and being a "terrible manager." The allegations stem from Urinov's luggage being seized at a British airport for allegedly containing marijuana and xylazine, which Urinov admitted were hers, and she showed her Israeli medical marijuana license to Border Force authorities.
After returning to the UK, Urinov was questioned again, and extortionate letters followed once the tour ended, threatening legal action if Morissette did not agree to a 15-year employment contract with Urinov. Morissette, unsatisfied with Urinov's management skills and unwilling to pay a ransom, has filed the lawsuit, seeking compensatory damages over $75,000, punitive damages, and a jury trial.
