Rihanna Says She’s Saddened by Her Father’s Recent Betrayal

Posted at 03/15/2011 by Staff 0 Comment

In the April issue of Vogue Magazine, Rihanna says that she is upset with her father for betraying her by going behind her back and selling stories and childhood photos to the press.

It’s something that the singer says she is still trying to make sense of:

“It really makes me question what I have become to my father. Like, what do I even mean to him? …..It’s really strange. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it, because you grow up with your father, you know him, you are a part of him, for goodness’ sakes! And then he does something so bizarre that I can’t begin to wrap my mind around it. You hear the horror stories about people going behind people’s backs and doing strange things, but you always think, Not my family. My father would never do that to me.”

She says that this isn’t the first time he has gone to the press. Ronald Fenty spoke to press following the Chris Brown assault a couple of years ago:

“That was the first time…..My dad went to the press and just told them a bunch of lies. Because he hadn’t talked to me after…that whole thing…. He never called to find out how I was doing, if I was alive, nothing. He just never called. He went straight to the press and got a check. And now he does it again.”

Will they be able to reconcile? Rihanna says don’t count on it: “Now I’m like, Whatever, I tried.”
