Rihanna was supposed to perform “Run This Town” last week for the kick off of “Thursday Night Football” but was pulled from programming and replaced with a special about Ray Rice following the shocking video footage of him knocking his then-fiance unconscious. Critics thought it was the best decision since Rihanna had her own domestic violence encounter with ex Chris Brown.
However, Ri Ri isn’t pleased that CBS pulled her song then named “Run This Town” the new anthem of the NFL. Welp, Rihanna had a few choice words for CBS.
And that’s why she’s Bad Gal Ri Ri. Now stop penalizing us and come back to Instagram!
In related news, Evelyn Lozada tweeted that she believes her domestic violence incident was karma and made her a better person.
UP NEXT: Adrian Peterson Investigated For Another Child Abuse Case
Adrian Peterson is being investigated for ANOTHER child abuse case. According to reports, the new case stems from an incident that took place in 2013 when Peterson allegedly hit his then 4-year-old son causing the young boy to hit his head. The boy returned home to his mother with a scar on his forehead. Peterson eventually admitted to hitting him.
Peterson’s lawyer claims there was an adult who witness the incident and says, Peterson “did nothing inappropriate with his son.” The mother allegedly reported the incident to Child Protective Services, but no charges were ever filed.
Peterson was recently indicted for felony child abuse and deactivated from playing with the Minnesota Vikings. They allowed him to play with the team this Sunday.
Peterson released this statement following the first incident:
“My attorney has asked me not to discuss the facts of my pending case. I hope you can respect that request and help me honor it. I very much want the public to hear from me but I understand that it is not appropriate to talk about the facts in detail at this time. Nevertheless, I want everyone to understand how sorry I feel about the hurt I have brought to my child.
I never wanted to be a distraction to the Vikings organization, the Minnesota community or to my teammates. I never imagined being in a position where the world is judging my parenting skills or calling me a child abuser because of the discipline I administered to my son.
I voluntarily appeared before the grand jury several weeks ago to answer any and all questions they had. Before my grand jury appearance, I was interviewed by two different police agencies without an attorney. In each of these interviews I have said the same thing, and that is that I never ever intended to harm my son. I will say the same thing once I have my day in court.
I have to live with the fact that when I disciplined my son the way I was disciplined as a child, I caused an injury that I never intended or thought would happen. I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.
I have learned a lot and have had to reevaluate how I discipline my son going forward. But deep in my heart I have always believed I could have been one of those kids that was lost in the streets without the discipline instilled in me by my parents and other relatives. I have always believed that the way my parents disciplined me has a great deal to do with the success I have enjoyed as a man. I love my son and I will continue to become a better parent and learn from any mistakes I ever make.
I am not a perfect son. I am not a perfect husband. I am not a perfect parent, but I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. I am someone that disciplined his child and did not intend to cause him any injury. No one can understand the hurt that I feel for my son and for the harm I caused him. My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that’s what I tried to do that day.
I accept the fact that people feel very strongly about this issue and what they think about my conduct. Regardless of what others think, however, I love my son very much and I will continue to try to become a better father and person.”

Maybe Beyonce’s not pregnant…or doesn’t want us to know yet!
Bey (and Jay) were spotted backstage at the “On The Run” tour holding glasses of champagne, but we’re not buying it. In not one of the photos does Bey actually take a sip of the bubbly. In case you missed it, Jay switched up the lyrics to his song “Beach Is Better” to “Cos she pregnant with another one.”
Aside from all the speculation around Beyonce’s womb, the Carters enjoyed a date night in Paris, France last night.
UP NEXT: Further Proof That Yung Berg Is A Jerk (If You Needed Anymore)
Last night, VH1 premiered “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” to mixed reviews. While some people thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, others thought it was snoozing and messy boots. We learned about Teairra Mari’s alcoholic rage, Lil Fizz’s deadbeat baby’s mother and Soulja Boy’s relationship issues. Yung Berg’s storyline didn’t make the first episode, but his situation was mentioned in the super trailer that aired after the episode. Clearly, he’s up for the Stevie J title of the group because he showed the supposed “love of his life” no respect as he soaked in a jacuzzi surrounded by other women. Berg, who infamously dropped the ridiculous like “no dark butts,” made it clear that he has no respect for his girl or women for that matter.
During a recent Q+A hosted by C Nikky, with Fizz and Soulja Boy, the “Five You The Business” rapper/produced expressed his misogynistic viewpoint on infidelity. Berg believes he can cheat on his woman and and if she dare return the behavior…she’s easily cut off.
“I’m cutting your water off if I find out, I don’t even got to see it. You can’t do what I do,” he said.
In case you’re wondering who the hell Fizz, Soulja Boy and Yung Berg are…peep the video below:
