A High Court lawsuit has been filed by Rita Ora’s former manager Sarah Stennett and her firm FAE Ventures, accusing Ora of underpaying earnings and failing to disclose income from tours and TV work.

FAE Ventures argues Ora did not pass on her firm’s share of revenue from tours and television appearances, including about £1.7 million in allegedly impermissible deductions for services such as advertising, accounting, and insurance.

The Sun notes the dispute arises after a previously amicable split in 2024 and places it within a broader context of legal and financial disputes in the music industry, though no final outcomes are provided.

If the claims are proven, the case could lead to significant legal costs and further financial reconciliation obligations.

Specialist music accountants audited six years of Rita Ora’s statements (July 2018–June 2024); Stennett’s firm says some requested documents were not provided.

The audits, conducted by Y Royalties, reviewed six years of Ora’s financials, with the defense stating certain documents were missing.

Auditors reported discrepancies, and Stennett’s firm claims they received only partial documentation to review.

The dispute has escalated from a previously cordial professional relationship into a formal legal battle seeking what Stennett’s firm believes is due.

The case represents a notable breakdown in Ora’s long-standing, successful international career trajectory.

Legal documents allege touring income during the period was not fully reflected in payments to the firm.

Allegations include misreporting income from The Masked Singer, with commissions reportedly based on invoices that did not reflect contractually entitled sums.

The claims extend to television work, suggesting Ora’s earnings as a judge on The Masked Singer were underreported and season-five commissions were inaccurately billed.
