Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a> filed a lawsuit against hackers for allegedly stealing unreleased music, photographs and videos from her collaborators.<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> 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 \u201cirreparable harm\u201d by illegally accessing \u201cvarious personal digital accounts\u201d of photographers and producers who have worked closely with her over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs belonging to Ms. Grande were hacked, stolen, and leaked by Defendants,\u201d the documents read. \u201cSince her music debut in 2011, hundreds of similar leaks have taken place.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her lawsuit, Grande\u2019s legal team described the \u201cmalicious\u201d content breach as \u201cunlawful and egregious theft, dissemination, and exploitation of unreleased content.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAriana Grande gave a sweet shoutout to ex Ricky Alvarez during her Eternal Sunshine Tour stop in Austin, Texas, changing the lyrics to one of her hit tracks. Instead of singing, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh,\u201d Grande, 33, belted out, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky, know he still got my [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She accused the alleged hackers of using content \u201cnot intended for public consumption\u201d to sell \u201con the dark web for significant sums of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her lawyers confirmed that Grande filed the lawsuit in hopes of finally unmasking those who have profited from stealing her private data.<\/p>\n

Grande\u2019s representatives offered no comment when reached by Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The most infamous instance of Grande\u2019s unreleased music leaking online occurred in 2021 when her track \u201cFantasize\u201d mysteriously appeared on TikTok. The song was co-written with producers Max Martin<\/strong> and Savan Kotecha<\/strong> and was intended for inclusion in an unreleased comedy project.<\/p>\n

Grande hinted at taking legal action over the breach during a 2023 appearance on The Zach Sang Show<\/em> while discussing her work with Martin, 55.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I left for Wicked<\/em>, the few studio sessions I did, which are all over TikTok, thank you so much,\u201d she quipped. \u201cI\u2019ll see you in jail! Literally. \u2026 The thing is those [songs] were all written for a TV show for something that was not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grande went on, \u201cSo \u2018Fantasize\u2019 comes out \u2014 comes out? Crazy. It was stolen. Thieves, pirates, hooks. Illegal. I\u2019ll give you more to get it back. \u2026 That wasn\u2019t my song. It wasn\u2019t for me. It was a parody of a \u201890s girl group vibe. But they loved it. They loved it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
