Alanis Morissette alleges in a new lawsuit that she is the victim of a “calculated blackmail campaign” orchestrated by her former tour manager.

The singer-songwriter sued Keren Urinov, an Israeli live music executive, for fraud and extortion in U.S. court on Tuesday (Sept. 1). The legal complaint, first obtained and reported by Billboard, alleges Urinov is threatening to falsely report Morissette for drug trafficking unless she’s hired as her tour director under a 15-year contract.
