Ivanna Ortiz, a Florida woman, has been charged with attempted murder after firing an AR-15-style rifle at the Beverly Hills mansion of pop superstar Rihanna. The 35-year-old appeared in court wearing a light blue jumpsuit with her frizzy blonde hair in two braids. She was hit with 14 charges, including attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and shooting into an inhabited dwelling/vehicle. Her bond was set at $1,875,000, and a protective order was issued for both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky.
Ortiz also struck another neighbor’s home with gunfire, and she could face life behind bars, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. This incident marked the first time Ortiz has been seen since her arrest. Her social media accounts contain bizarre online rants and a history of targeting other celebrities.
Ortiz was arrested after firing approximately 10 shots at Rihanna’s Los Angeles home, where the singer, A$AP Rocky, and their three children reside. No injuries were reported, and the police apprehended Ortiz during a traffic stop in Sherman Oaks. An assault-style rifle was recovered from a vehicle linked to the suspect.
The shooting rattled the exclusive neighborhood of Beverly Hills, known for its multimillion-dollar estates and tight security. Ortiz’s social media posts revealed bizarre accusations against Rihanna, claiming the singer was “stealing” from her and calling her a “witch” with a “devil’s face.” Court records also show that Ortiz had targeted Billie Eilish before the attack.
Ortiz had filed a lawsuit against Billie Eilish over a concert in Orlando, alleging immediate harm due to noise and traffic. The lawsuit named concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment, which has worked with both Rihanna and Eilish. The case was ultimately dismissed, and the concert proceeded without incident.
The incident involving Ivanna Ortiz and Rihanna’s mansion has shocked the entertainment world, highlighting the dangers of celebrity stalking and the importance of security measures in high-profile neighborhoods. The legal proceedings against Ortiz are ongoing, and the outcome of the case will determine the consequences she faces for her actions.
