Rihanna Once Shut Down a Reporter, Calling Their Probing Question ‘Disappointing’
Rihanna is one of the most popular and successful celebrities of the time. Her iconic music and unique sense of fashion often land the star in the media and headlines. From her Fenty collection to her sassy reputation, Rihanna pretty much slays just about everything. This talented musician has even been celebrated for her acting skills. Take a look back at Rihanna‘s debut acting appearance and how it led to one of the star’s most unforgettable remarks to a reporter.
Rihanna in ‘Battleship’
Looking at Rihanna’s page on IMDb it is clear she has appeared in countless television series and movies. The Vampire Diaries, Criminal Minds, Parks and Recreation, and The Office are just a few of the many titles she has contributed to. However, in 2012, Rihanna took the screen as an actor and not just a performer in Battleship. The action-based film was centered around a naval group that uncovered a fleet of ships that were invading the country.
The sci-fi movie also included a romantic storyline starring Brooklyn Decker. Taylor Kitsch and Liam Neeson were a few of the noteworthy actors to get cast in Battleship. Many viewers and fans were surprised to see Rihanna play the part of Petty Officer Cora ‘Weps’ Raikes. Her character was a weapons specialist with a good and supportive work ethic. Her fans and followers enjoyed seeing her in another light, and many people were surprised at how well she did.
A look back at Rihanna’s dating history
As Rihanna’s fame, reputation, and career continued to grow, develop, and change so did her love life. In the early stages of her journey to stardom many of her fans closely followed her relationship with Chris Brown. To this day people still talk about the assault Rihanna faced in 2009. However, though Rihanna doesn’t seem to harvest any resentment toward Brown, she definitely has moved on since.
Matt Kemp, a well-known baseball player, and Travis Scott, a talented rapper, are just a few of the men Rihanna has dated since her days with Brown. Of course, her fans and listeners know all about her on-again-off-again relationship with Drake. After her breakup with Hassan Jameel rumors began circulating that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were dating, and they turned out to be true. Though Rihanna is happily in a relationship at the moment, she seems to have gotten used to dealing with people and reporters’ constant speculations.
Shutting down a reporter
Around the same time Battleship premiered the press and media kept alluding to Rihanna having a fling with Ashton Kutcher. Rihanna was in London promoting the film when a reporter asked her a question that she didn’t like too much. HuffPost recapped the uncomfortable instance. The reporter complimented the star on her ability to connect with people and her fans before going on to ask Rihanna if she was happy with her personal life and if her fans should expect to hear more about Kutcher.
Rihanna simply responded, “Wow, how disappointing was that question.” She followed up with, “I’m happy and I’m single if that’s what you’re really asking.” Rihanna is one of the most highly-loved public figures. Her genuine and authentic nature comes across in all that she does, even in her interviews.
