R&B diva Rihanna may be known for being a perceived bully on social media outlets, however, reports claim she went too far with a former bodyguard and legal action is now taking place.
Details of RiRi’s new legal woes surfaced online this week courtesy of ex-employee Geoffrey Keating.
Geoffrey Keating filed a lawsuit today in Ireland, where his attorney was also granted a motion to serve Rihanna with the suit in the U.S. Keating claims Rihanna made “nauseatingly offensive” and false statements about him in an email to him and his partner last July. He also claims the offensive statements were made in a phone call to his sister. (TMZ)
Reports claim the platinum-selling singer’s remarks have severely hurt Keating’s image.
Keating served as head of security for Rihanna while she was on tour between October 2012 and July 2013. He claims the remarks have gravely injured his reputation and his business. Keating’s attorney, Gerald Kean, tells TMZ, “We’re taking this battle very seriously. We are satisfied that the Irish Courts will see justice at the end of the day.” (TMZ)
Outside of the drama, Rihanna recently popped up at a Brooklyn Nets basketball game.
Singer Rihanna has taken her maybe boyfriend’s sideline display and raised it with her very public show of Nets support at the Barclays Center on Friday night. Here’s Brooklyn’s tweet: “She’s here #ForBrooklyn tonight! Great to have @rihanna at @barclayscenter for the game!” And the Raptors’ response: “Just add this to the ever-growing list of odds and ends associated with this already-heated Toronto-Brooklyn rivalry. The Nets now lead the series 2-1 after Friday’s 102-98 win.” (Fox Sports)
