Woman Charged in Shooting at Rihanna's Los Angeles Mansion
Ivanna Ortiz, who was arrested for allegedly firing multiple rounds at Rihanna's $14 million Los Angeles home on Sunday afternoon, reportedly sent disturbing messages to her estranged husband about the singer weeks before the incident. According to new court documents, Ortiz's husband, Jed Valdez Sangalang, attached an email he claims she sent on January 26, demanding he renounce Rihanna and declare her superior.
Court Documents Reveal Alarming Demands
As per TMZ, the email from Ortiz reads, "I need you to renounce Rihanna and confess that I'm better than her. Let it be done. You gotta let me know so that the door can be closed." Sangalang stated he learned of the Sunday shooting on Monday after receiving calls and emails, including inquiries from news agencies. He attempted to conceal the news from their minor child, but another student at school revealed it, forcing him to explain the situation.
Custody Battle and Legal Charges
Sangalang is now requesting the court grant him full custody and sole decision-making authority over the child following this recent event. Ortiz faces charges of attempted murder and assault for the alleged shooting, which occurred while Rihanna and her children were at home, though her partner A$AP Rocky was not present.
Ortiz's Troubled Background
Gulf News reports that old mugshots of Ortiz had circulated online prior to the LAPD publicly identifying her, indicating prior encounters with law enforcement. Court records from Florida detail a violent incident in June 2023 involving her former husband during a child drop-off at her apartment, where the situation escalated physically.
As the case progresses, Ortiz remains in custody. It is important to note that these details are based on allegations from legal hearings and third-party sources; the case is ongoing, and no final verdict has been reached.
