Kelsea Ballerini’s Accused Album Leaker Agrees to Name Names Amid Hacking Lawsuit

In the Kelsea Ballerini hacking lawsuit, the accused leaker has agreed to name names of people he shared a leak of her unreleased music with.

A superfan accused of hacking Kelsea Ballerini and leaking her unreleased music has reached an agreement with the star’s lawyers not to share her songs with anyone else — and to name any people he’s already sent them to. In doing so, they warned that the hack had caused “immediate and ongoing harm” that would get far worse if Ewing was allowed to widely release the allegedly leaked songs online. Ballerini sued last week, claiming that Ewing — allegedly a former fan who had become disillusioned with the star — had gained illegal “back-door access” to a device holding recordings of 12 songs still in production.
