Ariana Grande has filed a lawsuit against two unidentified individuals, accusing them of hacking into the private digital accounts of people who have worked closely with her and stealing unreleased creative material.

According to the complaint, filed on July 27, the singer alleges the hackers gained unauthorized access to files belonging to photographers and producers, leading to the distribution of private content that was never intended to be made public.

Unreleased Music Among the Alleged Leaks

The lawsuit claims the stolen material included unreleased songs, photographs, and behind-the-scenes audio and video recordings documenting Grande’s creative process.

Court documents allege that 45 unreleased songs were leaked during 2023 alone, while also stating that unauthorized leaks have affected Grande’s work for years.

Claims of Dark Web Sales

Grande’s legal team further alleges that the stolen files were sold on the dark web for financial gain.

The complaint argues that the unauthorized distribution of the material caused significant damage to the artist’s career and creative control, describing the incident as a serious invasion of privacy and intellectual property.

Seeking to Identify the Defendants

Because the identities of the alleged hackers are currently unknown, the lawsuit names them as John Does.

Grande’s attorneys say one of the primary goals of the legal action is to identify those responsible and hold them accountable through the court system.

Artists Want Greater Protection

A source close to the singer said the lawsuit is intended not only to protect Grande’s work but also to discourage similar attacks against other artists.

They emphasized that musicians should have the right to decide how and when their music and creative projects are released, arguing that unauthorized leaks undermine the creative process.

Grande Previously Addressed Music Leaks

Grande has spoken publicly about leaked music before. During an interview in 2024, she joked that people responsible for leaking an unreleased song could “see you in jail,” while making it clear she viewed the unauthorized distribution of her work as a serious issue.

The latest lawsuit marks her most significant legal effort yet to address the ongoing problem.
