Disturbing social media posts appear to show a pattern of bizarre fixation by the alleged gunwoman who shot at Rhianna’s $14 million mansion while she was in there on Sunday.
Police identified the suspect as 35-year-old Ivanna Ortiz, who was booked on suspicion of attempted murder. Authorities said Ortiz is originally from Florida.
In the weeks leading up to the shooting, Ortiz posted a series of erratic messages and videos on social media that referenced several celebrities — most notably Rihanna.
In a Feb. 23 Facebook post, Ortiz shared a photo of herself while directly tagging the singer’s account.
“@badgalriri — Are you there?” she wrote. “’Cause I was waiting for your AIDS 5-head self to say something to me directly instead of sneaking around like you’re talking to me where I’m not at.”
There is no evidence to support the claim made in the post.
In another post dated Feb. 17, Ortiz shared an image of rapper Drake with the caption: “When Drake found out Rihanna has AIDS,” adding the hashtag “#champagnepapi.”
Several other posts also mentioned Rihanna in hostile terms.
In a Dec. 20 post, Ortiz wrote that she was “already through with Rihanna,” while also referencing reality star Kim Kardashian.
“I restricted that stupid bitch Kim Kardashian,” she wrote in the same message. “Your turn hiding bitch, stop begging for a look.”
Ortiz continued referencing Rihanna in later posts. In a Jan. 19 video tied to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, she claimed she was “with @badgalriri,” though it was unclear what she meant.
Rihanna was not the only celebrity mentioned in Ortiz’s posts.
In one of her most recent videos, she appeared to address rapper Cardi B while filming herself speaking into a mirror.
“You can’t f— with me, Cardi B,” she said in the clip. “You are supposedly busy right now. You ain’t messing with me.”
Ortiz’s social media accounts also reveal pieces of her personal background. In a photo posted Dec. 19, she shared an image of herself posing with trophies, identifying herself as “Miss Teen Illinois Latina Princess 2006,” suggesting she may have participated in beauty pageants.
Her Instagram account is no longer available and appears to have been deactivated.
Ortiz also maintained a YouTube channel where she posted a series of videos titled “Praying Women’s Journal,” documenting a 60-day prayer challenge.
Court records show Ortiz had previously filed legal action connected to the entertainment industry. In 2025, she submitted a verified emergency petition against Live Nation Worldwide – Rihanna’s promoter – and the city of Orlando seeking to halt a concert by pop star Billie Eilish at the Kia Center.
In the filing, Ortiz asked a court to issue a temporary injunction blocking the event, alleging organizers had failed to obtain a proper special-event permit and a required noise waiver.
Live Nation has historically partnered with Rihanna on major concert tours, though there is no indication the petition was connected to the singer directly.
Authorities have not publicly said whether Ortiz’s social media activity is connected to the alleged attack, but the posts appear to show an escalating pattern of erratic behavior and fixation on high-profile entertainers.
