The woman arrested for firing a gun at pop star and billionaire Rihanna’s house this past Sunday appeared to have shared various videos ranting and contemplating her death.
Before the incident, the suspect identified as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz had made strange claims about the ‘Diamonds’ singer including what would happen after she passes away.
In a YouTube video uploaded on January 4, Ortiz could be seen holding a prayer journal while claiming that Rihanna was trying to end her life.
“Rihanna wants to say that we are flying and we are not. She is really stu*** and corny and everyone knows it. But the way that Rihanna wants to kill me shows that…we are not going to show today. But this is my heart lord and I am waiting and expecting for you to show me what you going to do and deliver this promise,” she said.
Even more unsettling, she suggested that once Rihanna dies, she will finally reach her alleged “future.”
“Listen Rihanna, when you die, God will take me to my future. You want to kill me but shut up! She is a witch and I am the watchman. You are rebuked in Jesus’ name,” she continued.
This was not the only video she had made ranting about the ‘Umbrella’ hit maker.
In January 21, she compared the Fenty beauty mogul to the devil and then began talking about homework.
According to TMZ, Ivanna had previously been placed in a psychiatric facility against her will under Florida state law.
This warranted her admission in the facility for up to 72 hours. In accordance with Hal Roen, attorney for her ex-husband, Jed Nikko Valdez, Ortiz also lost custody of her 10-year-old child.
Additionally, TMZ confirmed that Rihanna and her three children were in the house at the time of the shooting. However, no one was injured.
According to CBS News, Los Angeles police officers rushed to the area after receiving reports of gunfire. Officials stated that the Ivanna parked a white Tesla in front of the singer’s expensive Beverly Hills home and fired ten shots at the building.
After the shooting, she quickly drove away, but authorities tracked her car to a shopping mall in Sherman Oaks about eight miles away. There, she was arrested by police without putting up a fight.
Ivanna Ortiz was charged for attempted murder and her bail set at Sh1.3 billion
