Summary
Court papers filed Tuesday say Morissette accused former tour manager Keren Urinov of civil extortion, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, seeking a jury trial and more than $75,000 in damages.
A 15-year job contract, tour-director pay, bonuses and visa help were allegedly demanded after Urinov threatened to tell British authorities Morissette committed drug trafficking unless the singer complied.
July 2025 airport incidents in the U.K. sit at the center of the case: Morissette says Urinov twice told Border Force a bag containing alleged marijuana and xylazine was hers, then later tried to shift blame.
Morissette also claims Urinov concealed a past Latin America drug-smuggling arrest and flight after bail, and says her handling of the 2025 tour included a hotel-booking error that cost about $70,000.
