Yesterday, the Parents Television Council released a statement slamming the visual for the latest Rihanna single ‘Man Down‘. Now, the Nivea model has hit back at the claims the video endorsed the use of weapons and vigilantism.
Find out what she had to say below…
Taking to her Twitter account just moments ago, she said the following:
‘I’m a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! What’s up with everybody wantin me to be a parent? I’m just a girl, I can only be your/our voice!’
‘Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially our parents!’
‘And this is why!Cuz we turn the other cheek! U can’t hide your kids from society,or they’ll never learn how to adapt!This is the REAL WORLD!’
‘The music industry isn’t exactly Parents R Us! We have the freedom to make art, LET US! Its your job to make sure they dont turn out like US’
Whilst she may never be regarded as an artist with an intellectual agenda, the video has indeed sparked a debate over a taboo and often uncomfortable subject. As well as this, it has also led to many questioning the real motives behind the starlet’s backlash from the PTC who also criticized her Billboard Music Awards showing.
In all honesty, if Ms.Fenty is to face any criticism it should be for her crimes against music, not for bravely thrusting such a serious and important issue to the forefront of social psyche.
With the seemingly never ending gratuitous violence being churned out day by day from all corners of the media, perhaps the PTC should ask themselves if a Rihanna video is really what’s wrong with the world today.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ROCKSTAR HAHAHHAHAAHHAHA LOL. SIT DOWN GIRL.
I actually agree with her…I thought the video was really
good…with an actual meaning…something that is not
borning and very different from her usual….just plain and
out s** videos…or boring videos with no meaning…I think she’s
right…it’s the parents job to raise their kids…it’s just her job
to raise awareness.
But her saying she’s a rockstar……….no comment.
She’s a rock star on the nanny goat’s planet I geuss!!!!Not on planet Earth!

I agree with Rihanna on this one!
U go RIRI
Rihanna need to be careful with what she said.
Cause as opposite at beyonce who’s stans are all grown most of rihanna’s stans are young and their parents go out and bought those tickets and album FOR THEIR KIDS,HER AUDIENCE
BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT U SAID.
——————————————
Just because she is 23 and is a rockstar doesnt mean she understand the parents point the view like an adult.Or can she?
Cause plenty girls are 23 and have children ………and some others are parents/23/rockstars
Aaliyah was one
Solange is one
…
Rihanna and some readers here need to grow up
ugh i hate to say this!! but i agree with her..
dead @being a rockstar
YES RIHANNA. I AGREE WITH U GURL. DO UR THANG. THE VIDEO AND SONG ARE ACTUALLY GOOD.
AT LEAST SHE IS GROWING AS AN ARTIST.
F*** ALL THE HATERS WHO SAY SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG GIRLS. WTF?
KEEP DOIN U.
If u raise ur own f***** kids and monitor what they watch and listen too u dnt have 2 worry about what people make! I have 2 kids and I love rihanna the ROCKSTAR that she is. But I know that she is not appropriate for my children to listen to so w dnt listen 2 her while were 2gether! That’s mommies alone in the car music or hangin with my friends music. So ptc can f*** yourself!
follow me @brecashe
I LOVE when you talk about rihanna ahahahaha
Yes b**** I f****** love her. F*** all these parents who want to blame celebs for their f****** failures. It’s not Britney, Rihanna, Beyonce, Mariah, Janet, or Nikki’s job to raise your motherfucking kids. I’m glad this b**** speaks her mind. She’s young and rich, she ain’t tied down with no f****** kids. She unlike all these other miserable parents, knew better than to have any. And why was Chris’ name even mentioned. If you don’t want your kids exposed to s***, be a f****** parent and do your f****** job. A couple years ago 20/20 did a special on teenagers giving oral s** rather than chase kisses these days but you ain’t hear s*** about the parents of those kids. Yet Rihanna does a f****** video that can only be seen by choice and all these old crusty folks who have probably done all kinds or horrendous gutter b*** s*** got something to say about it.
@Kat Deluna Fan
Erm Aaliyah did not have a child.
Rock motherfuckin Star my big ass. This b**** is a joke and that statement did not make any sense. Rihanna has no idea as to be a young adult. She calls herself a girl SMDH. I am sure that the PTC or any other org. don’t need Rihanna to give any advice to anyone.
What a dumb response Rihanna go back to school you are showing the media and public how really dumb you really are.
I like rihanna but what does she mean by rockstar? and her statement
“it is your job to make sure they DON’T turn out like us” – if you consider yourself a role model why wouldn’t you want parents to agree to their children looking up to you? why would you want them to make sure their children don’t turn out like you/us. Clearly rihanna is not referring to anything positive. Just analyzing and noting.
I clearly think that this video should be edited , you cannot compare a music video to movies. Movies are called movies story telling through actions dealt with actors and actresses. videos are song translators and she did it the wrong way.
from a rihanna fan
“In all honesty, if Ms.Fenty is to face any criticism it should be for her crimes against music,”
THIS RIGHT HERE MUSIC LOVERS! THIS HOWLING GOAT NEEDS TO RECEIVE WHAT SHE ADVOCATES & INSTEAD OF A MAN DOWN……..!!!
@ Methney This Way
It was actually Rihanna who sid that she is and wants to be a role model for kids. No one else put that on herself but her.
DEAD @ Rihanna saying she is a rockstar. Boo boo, u barely qualify as a singer. Let’s not start making outrageous claims that cannot be backed up.
lmao @In all honesty, if Ms.Fenty is to face any criticism it should be for her crimes against music
Why Is Everyone Getting On Her About Saying Rockstar STFU You Dont Get On Nicki For Calling HER Self King You Dont Get On Bey For Calling Herself KING (smh F***** Swagger Jacker) If Rihanna Wants To Call Her Self A Rockstar F****** Let Her Hell Shes Got The Money Like One The Style Of One The Fans Of One Let Her B A Rockstar This Is Exactly What This Post Is Talking About Everyone Looks Right Past Something Another Artist Does (Imitate Jesus, Spread Eagle In The Sand, Pop Fake Asses On a Bike) But When Rihanna Wanna Get Serious Its A Big Deal STFU And Listen To Good Music
She’s 23 yet she rambles like a 13-yr-old child!
What exactly is she saying? She should not be criticized because she is a “RockStar”? Or is it that she should not be critcized because she is 23? Or is it because she felt her fame fleeting now that BEYONCE is back on the scene, and tried one last ditch effort at upstaging her using a PITTY PARTY only to discover that NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ANYMORE ABOUT HER WHINING? <—– Could this be the reason for her SHOCK & AWE?
*press play on F.A.M.E. while singing…. get it Chris!!!
Cuz the bloggers on here are too f****** to stupid to focus on the issue actually at hand, which leads to believe that you all are under 19. LOL just sad.
Bro, Love ur blog, but u need to be more criative. This is the third tittle in a row u use the word CONTROVERSY. Pleeeasee!!
LMAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!
Sam for once I agree with you. The PTC are being extremely petty, there is NOTHING wrong with the video. It obviously did what Rihanna and Mr Mandler intended, everyone is talking about it and like Sam said it shed light on a matter that happens to women all over the world every day, so I think they should give her props for that. When was the last time a music video really tackled serious s*** that plague us? I think the PTC has a different agenda because they are reaching for God’s big toe with this one. Also Rihanna is right, she is not responsible for anyone’s kids, they need to stop holding celebrities accountable cos it’s the parent’s job to steer their kids in the right direction. Seriously PTC ain’t s***! The video is no worse to other stuff that is being shown on TV that kids watch, atleast this one is raising awareness. I applaud Rihanna for being brave and tackling this issue, PTC and the rest of you bastards will learn to deal!
Rockstar meaning implies to Celeb Status or Stardom, so yes she is a rock star… just like the other artist today.
I agree with Rihanna, if you dont want you kids to be like her then teach them better.
RIhanna is a beast. She’s got a nicely written point here too.
Rihanna is indeed a rockstar..whether or not she Artistically deserves “the title” it is another story. Her line about not having kids and not being responsible for what the youth see from her is just her immaturity… Money, Fame, and lack of a decent childhood herself has created the woman she has become. I believe ONE DAY…not now she will be Great…she has to grow mentally and spiritually…RIGHT NOW ITS S**, DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL!!
Rihanna better watch what she says. These young girls/kids have to go to their parents to the money to buy her music. That statement went off to another level. You people can say that you agree with Rihanna but she is dead wrong with this one. These kids look up to her and she is not a role model for any young child.
This is so sad
@Billy Goat In Other Recent New Beyonces DEBUT Single Went From 55 On The Chart To 30 Something……..*Fart* Floppin All Over The Place I See
Oh cry me a f*king river
Don’t worry “SLIMESHOW BOB” the media feminist majority (Oprah, Tara, Joy Buhr, Nancy Grace, Jane V-Mitchel, Mary Hart, T***** Williams, & the rest of the misguided losers on every network) will be here to save you in…1, 2, 3!
I can hear them now….”poor Rihanna…..poor, poor Rihanna……poor, poor, poor Rihanna… and that evil CHR”……
*press play on “BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE” while singing hey Chris, “don’t let’em bring you down NO”! 🙂
..So its RIhanna’s fault that young kids look up to her. ITs funny because its most of you are Beyonce fans, but you fail to realize that your idol is no role model and she still gyrates, humps the air, and sing about immature subjects at the age of thirty and married. At least Rihanna is only 23. what is a 30 year olds excuse? If parents are dumb enough to let their kids watch inappropriate material then they should be ashamed…. Lets talk about Jay Z rapping about selling drugs to his own people and getting rich from it, lets talk about other rappers who uses violence in their music….
all I heard was blah blah blah, im a rockstar…
rockstar? really, where do they do that at?
and rihanna shut the f*** up ok, if u didnt claim to be a role model to kids, nobody would give a f*** about ur desperate attempts at being a hard a** and a s** symbol…
did you forget ur interviews where u claimed ur trying to be a role model?
u made ur bed, now lie in it….
gosh this broad makes it hard for me to like her a**…
we all watch movies, correct? its like a small movie, videos are like that! GET OVER IT PEOPLE!!!
So When Little White Girls Are Going Around Singing About Disco Sticks And Judas Its Okay !
So When Little Boys Are On Camera Talking Bout Some “All You B****** Is my Sons” Its A Okay!
So When Kids Are Going Around Talking About Lets Go Kitty Kat And He Gotta Big Ego And Naughty Girls Its Alright???
When You Have Children Talking About The Way You Love Me Love F*** Me? This Is Okay
I Can Go On And On STFU Rihanna Isnt A Saint But Shes As Vulgar As The Next Artist Only Difference Is Shes Not Trying To Cover Hers Up SSSS&MMMM
When she says rockstar she means she’s just the type of person who loves rocking out to music. If she want’s to refer to herself as a rockstar what’s it to you guys? She’s right she don’t have to parent anybody’s child but her own when she decides to have one. Censor what your kids are watching and leave rihanna and her video alone. Its just a video. Jeesh.
I understand Rihanna not wanting to be a role model or be held responsible for her actions. But I’m sorry when so many young people look up to you, what you say and do does matter. When you follow an ex abusive boyfriend on twitter you are sending a message. When you are on stage simulating s** while saying chains and whips excite me you are sending a message. While its a rockstar life to you its not for your fans. While it is parents responsibility to teach, Rihanna can’t stir the pot and then hide the spoon. It doesn’t work that way and she is to big of a star to believe it does.
wtf @ gyrates, humps the air, and sing about immature subjects
when rihanna ass and crotch in ur our f***** face 85% of the time..tryna bash beyonce when this s*** as nth to do with her
I agree with what rihanna said, 🙂
@ratedxxx HEY GIRL! glad we not with he delusion bey fans right lol
wow I bet you haters are happy you have a platform to b**** and moan about rihanna everyday right. ( TGJ) This site just makes your day. Everything rihanna does is up for discussion. Damn the girl can’t live her damn life without you all jumping all up in her biz for everything. Who walks around hating on people day after day. Doesn’t it get tiring?
@ RatedXXX
U BETTA PREACH!
I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HER RESPONSE…THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!
THE DOWNFALL OF RIHANNA IS BEGINNING WIT THESE TWEETS…….TRUE OR NOT RIHANNA SHOULD KNOW THAT MAJORITY OF HER FANS ARE KIDS
and fyi, to the people on here who claims that rihanna is just a poor innocent girl in all this..
the dumb bish is still talking about chris brown in her cosmo interview….
bottom line, shes trying to sell her album, so she put the fake, i wanna be a voice to young girls crap….
she doesnt give to f**** about any r*** victims, she doesnt give two f**** about men and woman getting their a** beat on the regular..
all she cares about is whats selling….all she cares about is herself….
and because of that, i have zero sympathy for her a**
The only thing I disagree with is Rihanna’s “rockstar” comment. But as far as the video, I liked it. One of her best IMO. And let’s keep it real, ppl get r**** everyday & are rarely held accountable for it. Justice is rarely served. So the fact that Rihanna has a video about it deserves some applause, I think.
Sidebar – Was I the only one that thought that Rihanna looked like a red headed version of the ghost girl in the grudge? No shade, but seriously look at that opening shot of her coming out of the shadows & then look at the grudge.
@HerNavysHere
The lifes work of a true artist is not measured by 1 SONG!
The SUPERSTAR Beyonce wowed the crowd as she performed on the Billboard Music Awards. Showing why she is Queen Bey while this pathetic Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Naked Perry WANNA BE ,”SLIMESHOW RONNY”, stripped down to render one of her usual SLOPPY performances this time using whips, chains, and Britney Spears. With all of that, she still couldn’t measure up to BEYONCE! ……..BYE NOW
Well being a role model don’t mean being a parent. A role model will make mistakes in life, a role model may do things you may not agree with. You have to pick what you want to take from a person and do away with the rest. Oprah is a role model for lots of people but some things in her life may not agree with everyone. Some may not like her living with a man and not being married. Some may not like her stance on christianity, and some may not like some of the guests she had on her show, but you take the things that are good from the person and leave the rest. Rihanna is only human, so her actions are not going to agree with everyone. Plus she’s still finding her own way in life, so why should she be responsible for guiding your child. Plus when she said she wanted to be a role model, it was for the situation that happened between her and chris. She was a role model in the sense that she showed you are not to remain in a relationship when someone batters and abuse you. Move on. She didn’t say she will take up the mantel to be a role model for life for every girl out there. Parents should be the role model at all times.
Ego.. growing…. hide befo it explodes.
I mean a role model don’t mean rihanna should be your childs parent*
@Chris J
Its you Beyonce fans who once again brought her name up, reveiw the comments. Yes, children look at all of them, but I dont hear you Beyonce fans complaining about her sexual material… its okay to you as long as its her, when its someone else thats when its wrong.
@ kenny exactly and beyonce is a married woman. Rihanna is young free single and disengaged. But they have a problem with her.

People should start being honest and not hiding behind fan-dom, they are all in the same space when it comes to their image. Beyonce fans didnt say anything about the Telephone video that displayed killing of Americans, showing poision being made in childrens writing and colors, etc… but Rihanna actual has a storyline that is though provoking its too much for audiences?
@ratedxxx(akaratedx)
BLOWING KISSES YOUR WAY……YOU BETTER PREACH!! 🙂
Rihanna…..Get Help
Beyonce & GaGa video Telephone got that same controversy also. That video was banned from TV. Beyonce did not go that route again.
Rihanna don’t need to get help. You uptight people do. None of you all or the parent council had a problem when Chris Brown was leaking his d*** pictures, fully n*** online. But you all have a problem with a video?
(It’s hot, it’s cold, you’re sweaty! You’ve just hacked through miles of dense vegetation, hoping to THEN find some light breaching that ‘towering all-encompassing all-enveloping canopy.’ But as just you’re thankful, thinking your prayers have been answered, and you’ve “hacked to daylight”, you THEN come to find you’re back to where you first began….)
‘I’m a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! <– 0~o
Rihanna is a…"ROCKSTAR"..?! bwayahahahahahahahahahahahahah.. NO Riri, you're NOT!
"What’s up with everybody wantin me to be a parent? I’m just a girl, I can only be your/our voice!’"
Whose "voice", Rihanna? (This 'machine-gun burst logic' of hers; I SWEAR..!!) You don't sell CDs. You're forced to cancel/downsize your concerts, your name does NOT draw an audience (see her recent SNL appearance as compared to CBreezy's Feb 12 appearance/performance), and you've just been replaced by a NEW "IT Girl" – Nicki Minaj.
‘Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially our parents!’
Well, it'll help if you tried to "communicate touchy subject matters" without your p**** hanging out of your panties! Your parents might ALSO find it distracting if you're grabbing, rubbing-up on your genitals while trying to covey said "touchy subject matters"..!
‘And this is why!Cuz we turn the other cheek! <—- 0~o WTF…?????????????????
‘The music industry isn’t exactly Parents R Us! We have the freedom to make art, LET US! Its your job to make sure they dont turn out like US’
"It's your job to make sure they don't tun out like US"….?! OMG OMG Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh_O-M-G..!! Wow, with this last statement, this b**** done did it NOOOOOOOW! Listen to me, Rihanna, with this last statement, has NOW "stirred-up a hornets nest" (yes, she HAS).
X,Y,"and Z" — (Just WOW-ed))…OUT..!!
where was the parent council when beyonce was performing for a terrorist dictator ( Kadafi). You people pick and choose what you want to get upset about.
XYZ just shut up… Rihanna had a right to say what she did. That parent council can kiss her ass and you too.
Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears all use sexual content in their music videos they are all gimmicks/puppets in the music industry and are not in competition with each other b/c they all have the same agenda and that is to lead on the masses and mislead the public with there constant b*******… And its working you got idiotic brainwashed fools like you guys defending this or that ones honour on a blog site! So while you guys bicker and fight about who’s better or who does more of this or that the artists don’t care b/c at the end of the day YOU ARE doing exactly what they want you to do! One person falls off another one comes on first it was Britney; now she fell off BIG time everyone is now “BORED” and like. “Yawn” when they see her; the same thing is happening with Beyonce and Rihanna is the next star to lead on the public! She already is the next BIG STAR and when they are finished with her they will do her just like they did Britney! Hell like you guys did Britney! Before to you guys she was a legend and the “pop princess” now she’s suddenly nothing and its all about the next lost soul that is Rihanna but in the next few years you’ll be doing her like yall do Britney and start stanning for the next fame hungry girl that appears on the scene! America need to wake up! #Seriously
And I won’t even start with that devil worshipping w**** Lady Gaga smh
Im more offended that she calls herself a rockstar. B**** please.
I think Rihanna should have added a disclaimer at the end
or beginning saying that if you have ever been through this
don’t be afraid or something call 1-800-whatever hotline…
(you guys know what I’m talking about) but htat would have
made more sense…and been more acceptable.
Where were the parent council when gaga was writhing around onstage with a male dancer laying between her legs and simulating s** on National TV ( American Idol) ? where were they? That Council leader/ president Porter or whatever his name is, is a chris brown supporter, he has a personal vendetta against Rihanna. Most of the rihanna haters are Chris brown supporters, so it is what it is. All you all hating on here are chris brown supporters. You ain’t fooling no one. NO matter how you try to mention bey or gaga, to try to cover up your hidden agenda, I know its chris brown fans who are going from blog to blog saying negative things about rihanna. You want to ruin her career because he couldn’t control his emotions that night. I hope your plans don’t end up backfiring.
I AGREE
2MILLION % WITH RIHANNA ON THIS SUBJECT!!!
SIPS MOSCATO!
wow sam….. you really tried so hard with the shade in this article. when i clicked on the link i was thinking, hmm i wonder how sam is gonna shade rihanna this time? but GORL (or boy, i’m not really sure TBH) YOU F****** TRIED IT.
“nivea model” “crimes against music”…….. wow. you may take SEVERAL SEATS.
i don’t see you making millions in a successful music career. clearly you’re a jealous hater and that’s the true tea, right there. 🙂
i think its also hilarious that you stan for Jessie J but clearly hate rihanna. *dead*
ANYWAY you were right in most of the article (FOR ONCE) so kudos for that. but seriously get off rihanna’s ass and stop the hate!! you’re obsessed… its unhealthy to be honest.
Honestly, who cares about this? It’s a video with violence, and there are a dozen others; attacking her specifically doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. She is not an artist, nor is she articulate, so that’s a laugh. But really, there are so many problems with media and television, and Rihanna is NOT the place to start. Everything she and most people do in pop music is FAKE and manufactured for publicity. How about attacking trash films producers, advertisers, or people who really matter?
Rihanna is a non-factor for something like violence and sexuality. She doesn’t understand it, nor is she anywhere NEAR the top of the system that produces this garbage. Her video, art? A cheap imitation,MAYBE. This whole thing is a JOKE that isn’t funny.
and who the hell is this X Y Z character… could they BE further up their own ass?? seriously, who puts a little “_________ i’m out” at the end of each comment?
YOU AINT S*** @X Y Z NOW SIT DOWN
Rihanna…WTF?….girl….#ican’t….Rockstar? Artist? Not her job to raise awareness? She just shot a video for S&M advertising herlove for CHAINS & WHIPS! Now she’s shooting videos getting r**** after she snatched the kat back form some jamaican & justifying murder! SHE’S SUCH A SMART GIRL! LOL! Not to mention her vocals are timeless…SIKE!
Didn’t she say that she was a role model for “these girls”…..20/20 interview????????????
In other words, “She don’t give a F***” morals are dead to her as well as the industry, so if your kids turn out like her, it’s your own damn fault, Parents! Just buy her singles and kiss her a**!
(if modern science could bottle that coldness; they could freeze out the hottest volcano eruptions.)
YEEESSSS RHI RHI.. SINCE WHEN WAS IT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF POP STARS TO RAISE THE KIDS OF LAZY PARENTS?…IMA REALLY NEED FOR THE PTC TO TAKE SEVERAL SEATS FOR THIS ONE
This midget face girl GETS ON MY F***** NERVES!!!! Here she go playing victim again!!!! Her ass was not saying none of dat wen ppl was upset about her S&M video. The only crime CB committed was leaving her ass alive!!!!!
“In all honesty, if Ms.Fenty is to face any criticism it should be for her crimes against music,”
I CANT!!! LMAOOOO
But I agree with Rhi Rhi on this one! Raise your own fukkin children!!!
And FYI Rihanna is one of teh biggest selling artists in teh world….SHE IS A ROCKSTAR!!
@bizzy
STFU! He clearly did not. Know what you are talking about before you start typing nonsense! And what you typed still doesn’t excuse her crappy murdering for SHOCK VALUE and SYMPATHY video!
Gaga isn’t a puppet of the music industry. She can do anything she wants and people still love it. She writes her own s***, Produces her own s***, Picks what she wants to wear , says whatever she wants to say. Gimmick? Please……. Rihanna has a huge team telling her what to say, sing, wear & do. she’s a robot. At least with Gaga, she knows she may look a mess, but doesn’t give a f*** cuz she picked it out herself.
Originality is common for Artists wit Talent. Rihanna is nearing that and I think she should just blow this whole controversy thing off. Who cares? Just Promote your video red hed h**.

I actually agree with her…it should be left to the parents to raise their children…not television. Parents should understand that at the end of the day she’s an adult, which means she will do adult things. She shouldn’t have to be watered down because parents don’t want to talk to their children about adult subject matters.

Dear Rih-Rih, gurl!, Allow me to give you a HOSITDOWN.NET
If you can’t take the heat, don’t go in the kitchen.
Real rockstars don’t walk around saying “I’m a rockstar”. You should pay taxes for using that word too often.
And that “I’m just a girl” is just too much! You’re a girl who happens the muhfuhka Billboard Radio Artist of the Year. With honors come responsabilities. That’s how the world turns.
R*** has NOTHING to do with you being a young woman with no kids, with parents being parents, with industry being parents R us or not. There’s nothing laughable or entertaining about that. You knew what you were getting yourself into with what you put in the final cut of that video.
You’re getting backlash? Fine. What you should do? then hold your breath, take a nap, let people talk, tomorrow will be another day and this will be old news. It ALWAYS works.
How many times has rihanna fell during a performance!? Anyone????? (Silence) f*** beyonce and her worthless followers y’all can ride her d*** all u want and she will spit on you if u had ur hand out. You know why beyonce is so weak? Her followers have to badh rihanna just 2make beyonce look good! Rihanna whole album is good where as the last 2 single beyonce put out were bland. Tell that h** to fall back! Smh
“Crimes against music”
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!
Classic!
no rihanna is right……THE PTC is nothing but POLITICS(and NOT in a good way) cosign Karole though.
btw @Bizzy they were on twitter talking about one of Gaga’s American idol performances….maybe NOT the one that you were trying to mention…..
Parents YOU are the one RESPONSABLE for your KIDS !!! Stop blaming other people this is crazy !!! I am absolutely not a rihanna fan but she got a point here for once she’s talking about a serious issue in her video. Those parents are crazy if you have something against this video then go further remove video games out the shelves, remove reality tv stuff, remove everything. i grew up around shocking videos too and I’m a fine young woman. Parents who make te difference they’re responsable that’s it and mine did their job really well not blaming their bad education on someone else !!!
thank you RIHANNA for speaking to the PTC now keep doing you because you will never ever be able to PLEASE THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB. THE PTC NEEDS
TO TRY AND MONITOR PEOPLE PERSONAL TELEVISIONS AND THE MOV IE
PRODUCTION COMPANY’S THEN I’D SAY THEY ARE REALLY DOING SOMETHING BUT TO SINGLE RIHANNA OUT THAT IS SUSPECT I DON’T CARE WHAT THE HATERS SAY ARE TYPE BECAUSE THEY LOVE KIDDY FIGHTS AND LITTLE MS “SUNSHINE JUST LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT SHE’S A PERFORMER
SINGER AND ENTERTAINER AND IT’S NOT HER PLACE TO RAISE ARE TELL
THEM HOW TO RAISE THEIR CHILDRENS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY.

Rihanna opened peoples eyes on the situation she got people talking about r*** that is all she wanted to do but yet the PTC want’s to stop her. Raise your own kids and don’t put the blame on pop stars.
And I see the TWO pressed Beyonce stans pressed as usual *waves*
and The CB Stans yall just irrelevant to this world so ,,
Little girl just wrote a bunch of nonsense. She is in denial and confusing herself BIG TIME!!! SMH
many of these childrens are much smarter than their parents. and if that be the case then who is telling these movie stars who have s** in these movie for all to see then PTC tell me who are raising their childrens??????
THE HIGHEST PAID P*** STAR IN THE WORLD I WONDER IF THEY LOOKED HER UP TO TELL HER TO STOP SPREADING STATIN BECAUSE IT’S NOT KIDS
FRIENDLY I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES DID THEY PROTEST HER AND I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THEY COMPLAINED TO “CSI”FOR THEIR MOVIES ARE “COLD CASE”LIKE I SAID BEFORE THEY ARE FULLOF S***%%%%%

@ThePTCDid Lady Gaga’s performance ruin the Idol final for you?

Rihannas Fan Base Are Kids & She Shoulda Put Up A Disclamer Due To The Seriousness Of The Video The Fact That She Said What She Said Shows Where Her Maturity Level is. Age is nothing but a number & she has some growing up to do. And alotta yall know if ur parents told u not to listen to ur favorite artist yall would not listen but then the parents should tell their parents should tlk to them buh still a disclamer would have nipped this shxt in the bud

The one thing I agree on with her. Parents should raise their kids and control what their kids are watching. It’s funny because videos don’t even come on T.V. at all anymore (aside from a few on 106&park). The only way a child could watch her video is on the internet, which would require an intention on watching a PARTICULAR video. Now if you can’t monitor that, then it’s not the artist, it’s your parenting skills that’s the problem.
But I’m not sure with her calling herself a “rockstar” or referring to what SHE does as “art.” But whatever.

The media is not being nice to Rihanna this time around. I also saw somewhere that the PTC want B.E.T off the air.
Videos are showned on MTV, MTV Jam, BET, VH1, VH2, and all the rest of the MTV’s stations. So kids can watch the video on line and on all these stations
Rihanna is a BAD B**** (like me) but she raises a vaild point she isn’t a babysitter. If parents are so concerned why don’t monitor what their kids watch instead of pop stars. Rihanna isn’t aimed at kids. If she was she would singing Kids Bop. The PTC are pathetic and a waste of space if they want the video off air because what does that move they want their children to be sheltered from real life? Rihanna hasn’t done anything wrong at all infact she brought up the awareness of r*** (especially in places like Jamaica).
If you can not monitor your children and teach them about life you have failed as a parent.
RIHANNA IS A RED HEAD DEVIL!
@LISA
No excuse me. The only person who is the Devil is YOU. As you called his name.
Is Jay Z still her manager? She should not have released that type of statement. She should have just apologized and probaly added a few of the key points of what was said before. SMH……..What is she doing?
THe PTC is always bitching about different artists. *eyeroll* The difference is when Gaga gets criticism for her videos/performances being innappropriate she stays quiet on her twitter and eventually the news fades and no one remembers. SMART. Rihanna should have pretended it didnt happen because now it makes her look worse for responding and people wont forget. OR she could have edited it down to ONE tweet. More than one tweet makes her seem like she is ranting instead of responding.
i’m a S&m lovin billy goat…. baa beat me

The only crime CB committed was leaving her ass alive!!!!!
**************
LMAO, THIS RIGHT HERE HATERS!!! YOU BETTER PREACH.
Thank God Bey is back so this fraud can take a damn seat!!
——————————————————————————————-
Ummm….can you guys please not say that even I as a CB stan think that is wrong to say. I’m not a big fan of Rihanna her songs are good but I wouldn’t say something like that. And agreeing with that and tellling someone to “preach” is well delusional to be honest. What are you preaching about? That Chris should have killed her? Come on now. Smh.
DEAD at someone saying the CB stans are irrelevant. I really wouldn’t care about her video conterversy if the media didn’t inculde his name in it talking about “If Chris Brown shot a woman in his video the world would stop” that is true but he wasn’t even in this then the dumb f**** gonna bring up the incident. What does that have to do with this video(I actually like the video) I don’t understand.
I agree with her though. These parents are always blaming these celebs and asking them to be remodels. They are here to entertain. It is YOUR job to teach your kid wrong from right. If your child can NOT listen to an artist’s msuic despite what they do without picking up bad habits your kid is an idiot I’m sorry.
But her saying she is a “rockstar”….girl you are a popstar…sweetie don’t get confused lol.
i don’t think she should have responded, she should have let them run their mouths, eventually they would have shut up.
haters up in here as usual, criticism flying back and forth.
Sarah
I agree with you. You Rihanna ass lickers are so stupid. Just by Rihanna’s statement, you can tell she’s very uneducated and unarticulated! She’s nothing but an immature, superficial, manufacture, dumb s*** who would be knocked up, drugged up, and drunk all of the time had she never got the opportunity to meet Jay-Z! She is so FAKE! Weren’t y’all the same ones who felt sorry for her during the 20/20 interview! She specifically said she knew she was a role model for young girls and when people said her interview was staged, YOU IDOITS SAID WE WERE CHRIS BROWN STANS! How dare y’all? It’s sad that no matter what she does, you guys will always support her and make excuses for her. She reminds me of Miley Cyrus. You stans are vicious and just pathetic. All of you are so caught up in the fame, image, and money and it’s pitiful. Rihanna is a hypocrite and contradicts herself all of the time. She will do anything for fame and money. I bet if no one bought her music or bashed her raunchy pics, she would change to a “good girl” image. She’s a puppet.
And another thing, the majority of her fans are kids and teenagers! You idiots say her music isn’t for kids but HER ASS WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THEM! Instead of selling 3.5 million copies of this album she would sell 1 million total!
Rockstar? she is an overrated cute girl who gets drunk, cause that what she was when she tried to write that. The label is going nuts right now! I agree with the people against her because little kids made her!!! like it or not. Rihanna dont respect her self so we know the little kids want get any. Superstar! GAGA!! 2mil in days with an agenda.
You know why it’s back firing? Because she will use anything to sale and she was hopeing they would let her off because of the fight she lost. Rihanna stans are stans others see this girl for what she is. Stay on her nasty tale and start making her earn her monies. The video was played out wrong cause before she shot him anyone would have thought that was her dude they way she was all up on him if you keeping it real!
B**** your promoting gun crime, now shut up
she is totally speaking the truth.if you raise your children the right way,you have nothing to worry about and this is the real world!!!
Did I miss something, When did Rihanna become a rockstar?
YOU KNOW WHAT AT THE END OF THE DAY , SINCE I AM TEN (10) CAN’T SPELL GOOD, CAN’T SEE WITHOUT MY GLASSES AND SNEACKS TO USE MY MOMS COMPUTER LET ME SAY THIS Y MICKEY MOUSE CLUB CAN SAY WHAT E VER
IN THE FUKKKKKK YOU FUKKKIN WANT TO SAY ABOUT RIHANNA IT DOESN;T MATTER A DAM OKAY.
RIHANNA IS ON TO THE NEXT ONE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE IN COURT THERES SOME THINGS THAT WILL STAND UPIN COURT AND THEN THERES THINGS THAT WILL NOT AND YOUR LAME RETARDED WAY OF TRYING TO TRY THIS CASE HAS HOLES ALL IN IT.
RIHANNA SPOKE OUT SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO, PDRIOD YES IT WILL GO AWAY AND THE SKY WILL NOT FALL DOWN YET AT LEAST OVER HER SONG & VIDEO, BECAUSE THERES KILLINGS ALLOVER THE PLKACE ALL THE TIME AND RIHANNA JUST PUT THE “SPOTLIGHT” DEAD ON “R***” AND THIS HAPPENS TO MANY WOMEN AND THERES KILLINGS WHERE PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS NOT ONLY RAPES BUT SHE JUST NAILED IT OUT OF THE PARK ON THE “R***”TOPIC BECAUSE WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT IT, RIGHT??????AND I JUST SAW IT MENTIONED ON THE NEWS SO????

YOU GO RIHANNA YOU ARE A BADASS RIHANNA,,,GOTTA GO I HEAR MOM COMING INTO THE GARAGE, LATER GATORS,,,,,,,,
I don’t like rihanna and don’t get the damn possif message, but i agree with her for this, even if she’s the biggest liar, and the most hypocritical puppet b****; cause parents are the one who give their money to buy an album and bring them (kids)to her shows. And like sam says:”In all honesty, if Ms.Fenty is to face any criticism it should be for her crimes against music…
_ But her saying she’s ” a rock star”!… aaaaaw! B**** please live Mars and come back to the reality, hahaha I just can’t!:)
Wow tthis site has to have some of the most ignorat, backwater, ghetto fools that I have ever come across, from sam to all of the other negative Nelly’s. I mean the chick is right, it is not her responsibility, and for the slow people when she says it is theirr responsibility to keep them from being like us, she means if we are so bad and you don’t want them to follow our lead then handle your business,but I would not expect the limited minded, ghetto hoorats to get that. D*m shame!!
(Let this be the be-all-end-all…)
When it serves her, Rihanna will GLADLY accept the mantle of ‘Leader’, ‘Tastemaker’, and ‘ROLE MODEL’ (see the following excerpt from her 2009 20/20 interview
http://www.popculturejunkie.net/profiles/blogs/rihanna-on-2020-i-want-to-be-a)
Here are her exact words:
“I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those
women.” (http://www.c95.com/blog/shauna-foster/rihanna-role-model)
Rihanna is a hypocrite, a user and A LYING NO-TALENT HACK..!!

hop off her c***
I think the message that rihanna’s video displayed was much deeper than what it was put out to be. If little girls do and be where little girls are suppose to be than terrible act like what happened to rihanna in her video can be avoid. All to many time we watch our local news network and see too many young females taking advantage of because they weren’t were they were suppose to be or doing. You also have put yourself in a young females shoes who has just been r****… If you knew who r**** you and where they were going to be you would think or try to kill them for unremorsely taking and violating you?! I know I certainly would. P.S. dont r*** me.
