The lawsuit alleges Urinov said she showed the Border Force her Israeli medical marijuana license, the bag was returned and she was released. The next day, the suit states, Urinov flew to Barcelona to rejoin the tour. Morissette, Urinov and the rest of the team flew back to the United Kingdom the same day.
After landing, Border Force officers detained Urinov for further questioning about the bag that had been seized the previous day, according to the complaint. Later, Urinov told Morissette and her team that she had once again admitted to the Border Force that the bag and the alleged drugs inside belonged to her, the lawsuit alleges.
“After the tour ended, Urinov and her attorney sent a series of increasingly extortionate letters to Morissette,” the lawsuit contends. “Urinov threatened to file a patently frivolous lawsuit against Morissette in the United Kingdom for unspecified claims if Morissette refused to tell British law enforcement that the alleged drugs were hers. However, Urinov communicated, Morissette could put `an end to the matter’ by entering into a fixed-term, full- time employment contract of fifteen years with Urinov, under which Urinov would receive an income equivalent to that of a tour director with annual increases and bonuses.”
Morissette contends that Urinov also demanded that Morissette arrange for an immigration attorney to obtain a work visa that would allow Urinov, an Israeli citizen, to work in the United States. If a visa could not be obtained, Urinov demanded additional compensation, the lawsuit alleges.
“Morissette is not interested in employing Urinov for fifteen years — not only because she is a blackmailer, but also because she was a terrible manager of the 2025 tour,” according to the lawsuit.
