Alanis Morissette sued former temporary tour manager Keren Urinov in Los Angeles federal court on 1 September, alleging Urinov threatened to falsely implicate her in drug trafficking unless the singer agreed to a 15-year employment arrangement.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, accuses Urinov of civil extortion, fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Morissette seeks compensatory damages exceeding $75,000 (£56,601.64), punitive damages and other relief, and has requested a jury trial.
