The woman accused of shooting at Rihanna's Los Angeles home, Ivanna Ortiz, also targeted singer Billie Eilish weeks before the attack on Rihanna's residence. Court documents show that Ortiz, who faces an attempted murder charge, filed a lawsuit against Eilish over her concert in Orlando in October, claiming the show was causing her "immediate and irreparable harm" due to the noise and traffic.

Why it matters

This case highlights the disturbing pattern of behavior by the alleged shooter, Ivanna Ortiz, who appears to have a fixation on targeting high-profile celebrities like Rihanna and Billie Eilish. The lawsuit against Eilish's concert and the alleged attack on Rihanna's home raise concerns about the perpetrator's mental health and the potential threat they pose to public figures.

Ortiz claimed the concert was causing her "immediate and irreparable harm" due to the noise and traffic. A judge dismissed her suit, and the concert went on as planned.
