Ariana Grande Files Lawsuit Against Alleged Hackers for ‘Malicious’ Privacy Invasion Causing ‘Harm’

Ariana Grande filed a lawsuit against hackers for allegedly stealing unreleased music, photographs and videos from her collaborators.

Us obtained a lawsuit filed by Grande, 33, in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, July 27, against multiple individuals referred to as John Does in her documents. She accused them of causing “irreparable harm” by illegally accessing “various personal digital accounts” of photographers and producers who have worked closely with her over the years.

“In 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs belonging to Ms. Grande were hacked, stolen, and leaked by Defendants,” the documents read. “Since her music debut in 2011, hundreds of similar leaks have taken place.”

In her lawsuit, Grande’s legal team described the “malicious” content breach as “unlawful and egregious theft, dissemination, and exploitation of unreleased content.”

She accused the alleged hackers of using content “not intended for public consumption” to sell “on the dark web for significant sums of money.”

Her lawyers confirmed that Grande filed the lawsuit in hopes of finally unmasking those who have profited from stealing her private data.

Grande’s representatives offered no comment when reached by Us.

The most infamous instance of Grande’s unreleased music leaking online occurred in 2021 when her track “Fantasize” mysteriously appeared on TikTok. The song was co-produced with Max Martin and Savan Kotecha and was intended for inclusion in an unreleased comedy project.
