Ivanna Ortiz, 35, made her first Los Angeles court appearance since pleading not guilty to 14 charges, including attempted murder, after prosecutors said she shot at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home on March 8.
Judge Shannon Cooley denied a renewed bid to cut Ortiz’s $1.875 million bail, leaving her jailed pending a May 13 hearing to set a date for a full preliminary hearing.
Prosecutors say Ortiz fired about 20 rounds from an AR-15 at the $13.8 million property and a neighboring house, creating a risk of multiple deaths; she faces life in prison if convicted.
Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, their three children, Rihanna’s mother and two staff members were on the property, and court papers say Rihanna saw bullet holes in the trailer windshield where she had been standing moments earlier.
Police arrested Ortiz about 30 minutes later after tracking her white Tesla to Sherman Oaks, and investigators cited earlier threatening social media posts in which she claimed Rihanna wanted to kill her.

She was committed to a psych ward. How did she get an AR-15 to attack Rihanna a year later?

With public delusions and a history of threats, why did the system fail to stop the attack on a superstar?
