In a recent Rihanna Twitter incident, the singer is being cyber bullied online! The "Rated-R" singer tweeted about it on Friday night, as the cyber bully continues to talk trash. Unfortunately for the bully, the singer has the power of social media on her side in a major way. Did she use it for good or evil though?
Websites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are known for online harassment or negativity almost as much as they are known for keeping up with friends or enjoying viral content. Robyn Fenty is among the celebs who uses Twitter and Facebook a lot. She's been known to tweet or post rather racy pics and comments at times.
There have been people who aren't too happy with Rihanna and Chris Brown teaming up again to make music, and they've made their presence known online. However on Friday night, one Twitter user took it to ridiculously unnecessary levels giving such remarks as "I gotta admit, I lost a lot of respect for @rihanna.. Makin a song w/ the dude that beat your face off is not a good look. (sic)" and "@rihanna needs to get her a** beat again..Maybe it'll knock some sense in her head." The comments referred to Chris Brown and the domestic assault perpetrated against his former girlfriend years ago. Not nice to say at all, and probably bothered the singer quite a bit.
So how do you handle it when you're a Twitter power user celeb with millions of followers? You tweet out to all of them that you're being cyber bullied. Ri Ri did just that, including the name of the person:
"I'm being cyber bullied by ---------->@JuhReeV"
That's over 14 million followers of the singer who could possibly start hurling their own cyber bullying the instigator's way. Is that really the best way for Rihanna to handle something like this? Probably not, and the bully even responded by saying Rihanna was scared to say something so she got her fans on it instead.
Plain and simple, everyday average Twitter users talk a lot of trash, but the microblogging site also bans spam and harassing accounts. The person's remarks were uncalled for and unjustified. This cyber bullying probably happens to celebrities online daily just like everyday internet users. The singer or her people can block the person though, just like everyone else. Basically she threw hundreds, thousands, or millions of potential "cyber bullies" at the one bullying her. Come on Rihanna, you're a public figure and can handle yourself better than that!

the singer is being cyber bullied online
Nope, she was being a cyber-bully.
as the cyber bully continues to talk trash.
Nope. SHE is the cyber bully and her FANS continue to talk trash way after the victim had stopped.
Unfortunately for the bully
Nope, RIHANNA is the bully.
However on Friday night, one Twitter user took it to ridiculously unnecessary levels giving such remarks
Nope. I don't agree with all that she said, but when you've got hundreds of people harassing you at once, then you're likely to lash out. It's not anymore ridiculous as the bullshit that Rihanna and her fans started.
You tweet out to all of them that you're being cyber bullied.
Yeah, she said that. BUT IT WASN'T TRUE.
That's 14 million followers of the singer who will now be hurling their own cyber bullying her way.
"Now"? They were ALREADY DOING THAT long before she lashed out and long before Rihanna accused her of bullying. She was being bullied LONG BEFORE and this just made it WORSE.
Probably not, and the bully even responded by saying Rihanna was scared to say something so she got her fans on it instead.
You're still calling her "the bully". She's not a bully! Rihanna and her fans are!!
I think celebrities with that big of a following on Twitter need to be more responsible with the way they use their social media power. A celebrity who chooses to collaborate (and possibly reconcile?) with a man who beat her has GOT to expect to have her decisions questioned... calling a young woman who does so "ugly" and inciting her fans to attack her is not the correct way to handle it. I think YOU Matt Clark are also extremely irresponsible in posting something like this because you are condoning Rihanna's behavior and the behavior of her bullying fans.
Please remove this blog or issue an apology immediately.
I ask you to re-read the final paragraph of the article, because you seem to be misunderstanding what was said.
Thanks, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
It is VERY EASY to do a twitter search and check out the timing of the comments made BY and TO the young woman. It was not until AFTER Rihanna called her ugly and then many many many of her fans ganged up on her, that she started to "cyber bully" Rihanna. SHE was the one defending herself.
It was irresponsible and offensive for Rihanna to call this woman a bully and it is irresponsible and offensive for you to repeat it here. Re-read the first three paragraphs of your own article -- factually incorrect, offensive, and irresponsible -- regardless of the points made in the last paragraph.
This isn't a matter of opinion. It is easily proven FACT.
