Ivanna Lisette Ortiz appeared in court for the first time since being arrested and charged in connection with the shooting at Rihanna‘s home.
Ortiz showed up wearing a blue jumpsuit and her hair was in braids.
Ortiz’s Tuesday court appearance comes after being charged with attempted murder and assault … her lawyer entered a plea and then withdrew it. Her next court appearance is March 25.

The Florida woman is still in custody and bail has been set at $1.8 million. Ortiz waived her right to a speedy trial and the judge issued protective orders for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. Ortiz has also been ordered to surrender her guns.
As we reported … Ortiz, 35, is accused of firing off multiple rounds into the Grammy winner’s home while she was inside with her three children … even hitting an Airstream trailer. Following the shooting, police trailed Ortiz’s white Tesla Model 3 into a shopping center parking lot, where they arrested her.
She was later held on a $10,225,000 bail.
Ortiz has a history of mental health struggles and, in a YouTube video posted January 4, Ortiz speaks about Rihanna in a pretty disturbing way. Clutching a “Praying Woman’s Journal,” she appears to accuse Rihanna of trying to kill her. What’s more … Ortiz appears to say that when Rihanna dies, God will take Ortiz to her “future.”

In another video, uploaded to YouTube on January 21, Ortiz seems to give a similar rant while holding the same book. In the second clip, Ortiz appears to liken Rihanna’s face to the devil before delving into a tirade about homework.
There is no known connection between Rihanna and Ortiz.
