Ariana Grande Files Lawsuit After Unreleased Songs Allegedly Leaked Online

Pop star Ariana Grande has filed a lawsuit against two unknown people whom she charged of being behind a sequence of cyberattacks that directed to the mugging and leaking of her unreleased music and other private creative work.

According to a legal complaint filed on Monday, July 27, and obtained by PEOPLE, the Grammy-winning singer is suing two unnamed individuals, known as John Does. She claims they hacked the digital accounts of photographers and producers who have worked closely with her.

The lawsuit alleges that the hackers gained access to private files and stole unreleased songs, photographs, and video and audio recordings showing Grande’s creative work and recording process.

Grande claims the stolen material was never meant to be shared publicly. She also alleges that the hackers sold the content and personal information on the dark web for large amounts of money.

According to the complaint, 45 of Grande’s unreleased songs were allegedly hacked, stolen and leaked in 2023 alone. The complaint claims that hundreds of similar incidents involving leaked music have taken place since Grande began her recording career in 2011.

A legal team of Grande is requesting compensations and wishes the court to help find the individuals accountable for the alleged attacks.

Earlier, Grande told about her leaked music while promoting her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine on The Zach Sang Show.

On that occasion, the singer said that the people responsible for leaking her music would have to face the consequences of their actions.
