lemme give y’all a refresher of how badly Rihanna was treated by the GP from 2009-2017 since so many of you forgot.

a thread.

Firstly, yall wanna talk about this tired ass joke?

cont.

Wendy Williams saying Rihanna wasn’t “girlfriend material,” feeding into the constant slut shaming Rihanna endured at that time.

The whole “Rihanna has herpes” rumor rhat yall for some reason are still circulating today? mind you, it’s a scar on her lip from #that night, Bossip (a gossip site KNOWN for lying) turned into a herpes blister for clicks.

Remember that time yall swore that 16 year old Rihanna was having sex with Jay Z behind Beyoncé’s back? and instead of the rumored pedophile getting the backlash, the only child in the situation got slut shamed for it?

Let’s not forget the countless men yall claimed Rihanna slept with.

and all the abuse jokes...

and more abuse jokes..

and the abuse jokes saying she deserved it.

Add more examples if yall have some of other ways she was harassed. i want these amnesiacs to see that this shit was in different AREAS.

Also, i hope y’all finally understand why the “if Rihanna did ____, nobody would have a problem” conversation is the most idiotic one to have. Rihanna *NOW* wouldn’t get as much backlash, but Rihanna most likely has gotten shit for something similar in the past.

and by “something similar,” i mean a similar rumor. because let’s not forget, almost all of the shit she got dragged for never even fucking happened.
