Rihanna Turning Into A Rude Girl: Arrives Four Hours Late For 15 Minute Show At A School
March 25, 2013 by Coco Liberty
Last Friday, Rihanna arrived four hours late to an appearance at Barrington High School and kept 2,000 kids waiting after hours. She claimed that there was too much traffic in Chicago and apologized for her tardiness. On her Instagram where she includes n00d pictures of herself and references to weed, she uploaded a picture of “the traffic” shown above.
What a role model for your kids! It isn’t enough that she’s back with her abusive boyfriend and constantly partying with drugs and alcohol. Her appearance at the school was a reward for the students who had participated in many fundraisers for various causes. When she finally arrived, she stayed for a total of 15 minutes, which didn’t warrant the kids waiting for four hours.
Rihanna must think she’s very important and that even children’s time is nothing in comparison to her busy schedule. A Barrington High School junior, Patricia Halle, was quoted in the Chicago Tribune saying “It’s one thing to be fashionably late. This is just rude. Our lives don’t revolve around a pop star. Our school worked hard to win this. She should be more respectful.” Halle is very mature for her age and sums up the situation perfectly. Rihanna makes a living off cultivating fans and with this appearance she may have lost some of her target audience. Her bad girl behavior might support her “nobody’s bidness” persona, but overall it should be about the fans; especially kids who are very impressionable in high school.
In addition to keeping children waiting, Rihanna cancelled her Boston and Baltimore tours due to laryngitis. Her doctors are advising her to slow down and take a break from partying. According to Perez Hilton and a source: ”Rihanna’s illness was so severe that doctors warned it could take months for her to fully recover… there were worries that she’d have to cancel her entire tour. She was forced to cancel two of her Diamonds world tour dates in Baltimore and Boston after coming down with laryngitis. She has since resumed the tour and promised to reschedule the canceled shows. They’ve told her that she needs to make some serious lifestyle changes, or risk this happening again. This has given her a scare. But Rihanna knows it’s partly self-inflicted. She loves to smoke, drink and stay up late. Her body was bound to need a break at some point. She’s now on a mission to start looking after herself.”
On her Twitter, she wrote “#Boston this is the hardest thing for me to deal with! I feel like we’ve been waiting on this day forever, and I’m hurt that I let you down.”
Well she’s been letting a lot of people down and she should really take a break so she can fulfill all of her obligations. She’s been recording since she was 16-years-old, so maybe she should spend some time in Barbados for a while. She’s on every radio station, won five Grammys, and has dozens of hit singles. If she took some time off, I think her bank account would survive.
