A Los Angeles judge grants Ariana Grande expedited subpoena permission in her lawsuit tied to alleged leaks of unreleased songs and recording-session footage. Multiple outlets report that the order allows her to seek information from relevant parties to identify anonymous hackers accused of obtaining and distributing the material online.
Grande filed the suit in July, according to reporting. She alleges that hackers stole unreleased content from her and sold it on the dark web, and that the leaked materials included tracks and footage connected to recording sessions and music videos. Variety reports the judge approves a proposed order for expedited discovery, noting that Grande cannot identify the alleged hackers without assistance.
The coverage focuses on procedural developments rather than the merits of the claims. Hollywood Reporter and Variety both describe the expedited subpoena ruling as a step Grande uses to uncover identities and further the discovery process in the case.
