You’d
think by now people would have given up on offering their opinions on
Rihanna and Chris Brown’s ”relationship.” Because grown people are going
to do what grown people want to do. And quite possibly rub it in
everyone’s faces at the same time. Rihanna has proven that she’s run out
of *&%^$#@Es to give when it comes to people’s perception of her. And Chris
Brown? He currently looks like a zombie on bath salts. He doesn’t have a
care in the world. With their middle fingers pointed to the world, why
should anyone else care what these two do?
But that hasn’t stopped Lena Dunham, of Girls, from expressing her opinion.
In a recent podcast interview
with (of all people) Alec Baldwin, Dunham expressed her displeasure
with Rihanna. Although she’s admitted to being a fan, she’s been having a
change of thought lately:
Being a role model is
amazing. It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s a platform that you
have to take seriously. Which is why sometimes it’s like I used to be
really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t
want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on
Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I
could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna. Like you know, she left
Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy. She’s
talented. And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a
million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it
cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years
old.
Oh, Lena. If you don’t like what you see on her
Instagram, there’s that simple unfollow button. Do I think Rihanna is a
positive role model? Not exactly. But did you realize who’s interviewing
you? Alec Baldwin is the same man who had his own accusations of
battering women, all allegedly of course. And on top of that, he’s even
gone as far as to verbally abuse his 11-year-old daughter, which was all caught on tape. The exact words he used were:
I
could be shouting sh*t at random people on the street, but I’m calling
you. I don’t care that you’re twelve or eleven or whatever, are you pig
enough to pick it up? I’m a good father, and you’re a pig. I don’t give a
sh*t. Good father. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse,
you thoughtless pain in the ass?
Maybe the next time
Lena Dunham expresses her concern about someone and their relationship,
she should probably find a better choir to preach to than someone who
verbally abuses their child.
I’ll sit back and count how many *&%^$#@Es Rihanna gives about this opinion.
