How did Rihanna get involved in a ‘RHONY’ storyline?

Rihanna was mentioned on the latest episode of RHONY after McSweeney invoked her. The Married to the Mob founder had questions regarding her participation in a song by Luann de Lesseps. McSweeney contributed to singing a part of a Christmas song the Countess recorded where the proceeds generated from the record would be donated to charity. However, McSweeney wasn’t sure about all the details or how much of the money would actually go to the charity which turned into a feud.

Singer interjected saying that she trusted De Lesseps and it was more about supporting each other in their ventures. The pinot grigio connoisseur said that she would promote McSweeney’s brand but the latter said she was “good” as Singer wasn’t her demographic. That’s when McSweeney name-dropped Rihanna and said that the global star wears here brand and didn’t need Singer to do it.

Rihanna was seemingly catching up on RHONY when she heard her name on the show and took to Instagram to share the clip and ask, “What was said Ramona Singer?”

“I love you so much,” McSweeney replied in Rihanna’s post.

McSweeney then shared Rihanna’s photo on her own Instagram and added, “Yup, [Rihanna] is a woman who supports women and she’s also watching and enjoying RHONY Season 13.”

The MTTB designer took a dig at all the critics that have been bashing RHONY for being boring. McSweeney took notice that Rihanna is watching the latest season of the franchise and enjoying the antics the housewives get into.
