Ariana Grande is suing individuals for allegedly hacking the accounts of her collaborators and stealing and publishing unreleased music, photos, videos and more.The pop singer’s lawsuit was filed Monday against persons identified as John Does, alleging they made money from the hacks after they sold “personal data and content on the dark web for significant sums of money,” according to People. The complaint claims “unlawful and egregious theft, dissemination, and exploitation of unreleased content,” People reports.The lawsuit also alleges that in 2023, 45 of Grande’s unreleased songs were “hacked, stolen and leaked” by the John Does. “Neither Ms. Grande nor any other public or private figure should have to suffer such violations caused by these wrongdoers who hide in the shadows and wreak technological havoc with impunity,” the lawsuit says, according to Billboard. “It is imperative to Ms. Grande to ensure on behalf of herself and others that such conduct is deterred to the fullest extent possible.”A source close to the “Wicked” star told People that the lawsuit is meant to “serve as a deterrent” against future hackers, not just toward Grande, but other artists as well. “Artists deserve the right to control how and when their art is shared with the world,” the source said. “The unlawful theft and distribution of creative work undermines that right and should not be tolerated.”Grande has been open about her alleged hackers in the past. During a 2024 interview on the “Zach Sang Show,” Grande shouted out her hackers, saying, “I’ll see you in jail. Literally.” She said that her song “Fantasize,” which was leaked and “all over TikTok,” was meant for a TV show. “‘Fantasize’ comes out — it was stolen. Thieves, pirates, crooks, illegal,” she said.Other artists have been vocal about hacks, including Taylor Swift, who in 2014 said that for months, before her album “1989” was released, the only copy that existed was on her phone. Swift told Jimmy Kimmel at the time, “I have a lot of maybe-/maybe-not-irrational fears of security invasion, wiretaps, people eavesdropping.”
