Alanis Morissette initiated legal action against former tour manager Keren Urinov this week, according to court documents. The musician’s lawsuit alleges that Urinov orchestrated what the filing describes as a calculated extortion scheme.
The dispute centers on events that occurred during their working relationship in 2025. According to the legal papers, Urinov was detained at a United Kingdom airport while traveling with Morissette to Spain. Urinov claimed she was arrested after authorities discovered substances in her bag, including marijuana and xylazine. She presented an Israeli medical marijuana license and was subsequently released.
Following the airport incident, Morissette’s legal team contends that Urinov and her attorneys sent escalating letters containing threats of litigation. The tour manager allegedly demanded a 15-year full-time employment contract with compensation equivalent to a tour director’s salary, plus annual increases and bonuses. When Morissette declined these demands, the lawsuit states that Urinov’s legal representatives sent correspondence implying they would accuse the singer of drug trafficking.
Moressette is pursuing claims of civil extortion, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation in the case. The dispute marks another legal matter involving Morissette’s professional relationships, following a previous embezzlement case involving former manager Jonathan Todd Schwartz, who admitted in 2017 to taking more than $7 million from Morissette and other clients.
