Rihanna has addressed the talk surrounding her latest Vogue profile.
At the celebration for her new coffee table book,,titled “Rihanna,” on Friday night at the Guggenheim in New York, Rih seemed surprised at the news that Abby Aguirre, the Vogue writer who penned a feature on the singer and fashion mogul, was being speared online for failing to show up to her interview with questions, reportedly due to a time constraint that gave her no opportunity to prepare. Fans and journalists were appalled that Aguirre wrote in her profile she’d told Rihanna she was “winging it.”
“Wait, wait, what?” Rihanna said, standing on the red carpet in a leopard-print Saint Laurent dress. “No, no, no, no. That’s gangster. For you to get a call the day before being like, ‘Hey, Rihanna’s in L.A., you wanna do this?’ And show up on the dime and write an incredible article that I’m really proud of and enjoyed reading? She’s badass for that.”
Although members of Rih’s team had mentioned that Aguirre received heat for the piece, Rihanna apparently didn’t know the full scope of the situation — that it had been picked up by various publications and acclaimed writers like Roxane Gay weighed in.
