Ivanna Ortiz, the Florida woman accused of firing an AR-15-style rifle at the Beverly Hills mansion of pop superstar Rihanna, has been charged with a slew of charges, including attempted murder.
Ortiz — dressed in a light blue jumpsuit with her frizzy blonde hair in two braids — looked frazzled, her eyes darting around the courtroom, as she was brought in Tuesday where she was hit with 14 charges.
The 35-year-old’s bond was set at $1,875,000 — a reduction from her initial amount — and the judge put a protective order in place for both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. The order states Ortiz must refrain from any contact with the A-listers and must stay away from their homes and related property.
It was also revealed in court that Ortiz struck another neighbor’s home with gunfire.
After the hearing, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed Ortiz could face life behind bars.
Ortiz’s charges include attempted murder with special allegations, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (with special allegations) and three counts of shooting into an inhabited dwelling/vehicle.
It’s the first time the 35-year-old has been seen since her arrest. Ortiz’s social media accounts are filled with bizarre online rants, and a history of targeting other celebrities.
Ortiz was arrested Sunday on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly firing approximately 10 shots at the singer’s luxury Los Angeles home, authorities said.
Ortiz was booked into custody and hit with a staggering $10.2 million bail.
The brazen daytime shooting unfolded around 1:30 p.m. outside the sprawling property that Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three young children.
The singer and her family were home at the time of the gunfire, but no injuries were reported.
Police said Ortiz, the sole occupant of the vehicle, fled the area but was stopped about three miles away during a traffic stop in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Sherman Oaks.
Investigators later recovered an assault-style rifle from a vehicle linked to the suspect, officials said.
The shooting rattled the normally quiet celebrity enclave, an exclusive neighborhood packed with multimillion-dollar estates and tight private security.
The case took an even stranger turn as social media posts attributed to Ortiz came to light.
In a series of rambling videos posted to her YouTube channel, Ortiz appeared to unleash bizarre accusations against the chart-topping star, claiming Rihanna was “stealing” from her, was “jealous” of her and even calling the singer a “witch” with a “devil’s face.”
Court records also show Ortiz had previously set her sights on another pop star.
Ortiz also targeted Billie Eilish weeks before the attack, according to court documents.

Ortiz filed a lawsuit against the “Bad Guy” singer over her October concert in Orlando, claiming the show was causing her “immediate and irreparable harm” due to the noise and traffic.
The suit also named concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment, the world’s largest live entertainment company that has promoted tours for both Rihanna and Eilish.
A judge ultimately dismissed the case and the concert went ahead without incident. Court documents said the emergency petition for a temporary injunction had been filed prematurely over concerns about potential noise and traffic issues.
