Rita Ora sued by former manager for withholding millions

Singer Rita Ora is being sued by her former manager, Stennett, for allegedly withholding millions in earnings from her television work and tours. The dispute follows the termination of their 15-year professional relationship in 2024 due to conflicting views on the singer's career direction.

Singer Rita Ora is facing a lawsuit from her former manager, Stennett, who alleges that she withheld millions in earnings from her tours and television projects. The legal action claims that the 34-year-old artist failed to fully disclose income generated from her role as a judge on the British television program The Masked Singer. Stennett argues that a portion of these revenues should have been paid out to her company as part of their professional agreement.

The professional partnership between the two came to an end in 2024 after disagreements regarding the trajectory of Ora's career. They had worked together since 2009, when Stennett first signed the singer to a management contract. Ora, who is known for hits such as Let You Love Me and Anywhere, has not yet provided a detailed response to these specific allegations concerning her past financial obligations under their long-standing professional arrangement.
