wtf?? you don't have to be a b*tch to make your boyfriend happy

Why would letting your boyfriend see you naked make you a bi*ch?

No one has to take pictures of themselves undressed but she travels a lot and obviously wanted to keep the excitement in her relationship- there's nothing wrong with sending these photos to someone you love and think you can trust. My partner was in hospital for two months and I sent him photos of myself to keep his spirits up. It's not something I'd ever done before and would much rather have had him at home with the real thing but it helped him and it was harmless fun.

she said out her own mouth that she wanted to be a role model. well rihann, role models don't encourage children to send naked pics of themselves to their boyfriends. quite frankly, she's not talented and i'm tired of seeing her!

The problem is it's not harmless. So many young girls send naked pics to boys and then when the relationship is over the pictures get posted on the internet. Unless you've been with the guy a really long time, keep your clothes on.

Yeah, I think coming off the fact that she let her ex boyfriend beat her, and now she's telling girls it's okay to send naked pictures of yourself isn't the best way to be a role model. That's perfectly fine if you want have some excitement in your relationship but when you are a public figure it's stupid to think that whoever you're sending them to won't leak them eventually.

She shouldn't encourage girls to do these kind of things. I think that you never get to really know people, or accidents happen. What if his phone gets stolen, or what if when they break up and he shows the pictures to the entire school? They are other ways to keep your relationship fun without running those kinds of risks. Look what happened to her, her pictures were leaked and it was very embarrassing to her.

i agree with 2 3 and 4

This girl is in serious need of counseling, and I hope she is getting it. I hope parents are sitting down with their teenage daughters and explaining to them that you don't have to send boys nude photos of yourself that can have devastating repercussions to get them to like you. What an irresponsible comment.

I wish you all would just calm down, she's not encouraging little girls to start sexting naked pics of themselves. She was in love with him, I'm sure you've done worse things for love. I love that she refuses to let America's crazy Puritanical attitude towards sex shame her into feeling bad. Yes, it's embarrassing but at the moment it was sexy. Chris should be the one humiliated, he took a thoughtful gift and exposed it to the world after she left him for beating her. What an immature douchebag!

What? I'm sick of this sort of thinking. Sorry she got beat up, no one deserves that, but I don't like her. Don't you wonder about the great music we are all missing from all the talented women who don't do this sleazy stuff. Regular but talented women are never even given a chance because this sort are always in our faces.

9, that is exactly why young women should not be sending nude pictures of themselves to men they think they love. Just because it is common for young women to make stupid choices for what they think is love doesn't make it right. Young men, who women thought they loved and would never harm them, are often stupid, immature and vindictive.

Not sending nude photos of yourself has nothing to do with a "puritanical" attitude. It is about self-preservation. Women need to be taught that just because a man might like it, doesn't mean you should do it. You need to put yourself first, because he won't. Especially not when you are 19 and you leave him. Mistakes women make today can destroy them now, and follow them later. Even Rihanna's statement was not intended for teenage girls, they are her fans and they hear it. They also see women like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton parlaying their "leaked" sexual exploits into a "career". However, it is not going to lead to fame and fortune and an E! reality show for the average American girl. It is going to lead to a painful social experience and years of worrying what a potential employer, love interest, friend or family member is going to find on the internet. Don't be so naive and irresponsible.

I may go out on a limb here, but why do all of these celebrities keep on taking naked pictures of themselves? They know they will somehow be leaked.

why do people always have to bring up the fact that Chris Brown hit Rihanna. it was one mistake no one is perfect. ok ? its men out there that have killed there girlfriends. so stop bringing that up please i know he fills bad about it. leave Chris Brown alone... From ,williamsdiamond33@yahoo.com

all i know is i AM SO TIRED OF SEEING HER FACE. I was never a big Rihanna fan...I listened to her music, I just wasn't that into HER. But ever since this Chris Brown mess she's everywhere and I know i'm sick of lookin at her. She's a propaganda wh0r3 & yeah i always said get it how you live it but Lord have mercy sit yo thirsty *ss down somewhere. We know you got that *ss whooped, it's over boo...move on....but i guess since her cd DID get dropped to 99 cents [lol].......

Rhianna honey, you are the one I feel bad for. He probably beat you after you sent them. You sound defensive but don't generalize women like that. Some of us do have a little morality!

great, is she no different than disney stars gone bad?

i think most boyfriends are happy about seeing their girlfriends naked in real life and don't need any pictures. They're not even missing out on anything, theres no need for this kind of showing-off in every relationship.

That may be her personal opinion but she should keep that to herself. You do not have to send your boyfriend naked pictures of yourself, its ridiculous.

Wish she would go away now. Pard0nmyswag.....i agree with you.

serisously... have none of you ever sent a nudey pic to your husband or boyfriend? I agree with her... I feel sorry for your hubby if you don't occasionally send him a little peek of something. It keeps your relationship exciting. Plus she's of age so if she wants to take naked pics of herself then who the hell cares... let's be real... everyone really does do it.

Duh, she has a new album out. Perfect timing to leak some pictures.

I guess that's the only way you can keep a boyfriend. But your just a lowlife anyway. How you ever got a record contract with no talent is beyond me. Ahh but now we know, you did more than sing!

I just want to know who makes her sweater? Want it.

she's really not that talented and her voice isn't that good..

She may think it's harmless fun, and as a pop star it's not really going to affect her life other than being embarrassed and handing her more press, but to make that kind of a comment encourages teenagers to think it's okay to do. Those pictures might get leaked and affect their lives in a very negative way other than showing them around school. Colleges nowadays do internet searches of potential students, including their facebook and myspace pages, and these kinds of photos could keep them from being accepted. In addition employers are now also checking peoples online presence.

At my former place of work two employees were fired because of things they either posted or blogged about, and a large number of people were rejected for their online antics.
Once these photos hit the web they are there for everyone to see... forever.

I'm not so sure how proud these girls are going to be of their indiscretions when their kids or their kids friends are able to see them.

I totally send my husband naked pictures of myself! But I'm not a celebrity and they won't get leaked! But I've also been married for 13 years, it's fun to do something that will keep the spark alive! I know my husband enjoys getting nudie pictures and I enjoy sending them! The problem is when young kids do it, but that is a parenting issue!

I don't know if she meant her answer to come out the way it did. It was a stupid thing to say, but I think she said it more to defend and protect her feelings and ego than to sound on off people who don't send nude pictures to their boyfriends...

Taking private photos DOES NOT make Rhianna a bad role model. She is an adult who took those photos in trust that they would not be shared. The difference between Rhianna and any other woman is that she is a celebrity, I would be willing to bet that nearly EVERY woman has, at some point, taken nude photos or videos to share with a lover. She is a realist and her statement regarding the photos reflects just that!

I think Monkeyface is confused.

Unless you're a slut, there is no reason you should send your boyfriend nude pictures.

^ What, Ms. judge and jury #28? That makes no sense. How does sending private photos to someone you love make you a slut? Was every woman who ever posed nude in art (paintings, statues, photographs) a slut? I mean the whole world gets to see them, not just their boyfriends and husbands. Sending nude pictures to someone you're intimate is not reason to denounce someone as a slut. Making generalizations and ignorant comments like you did makes you obtuse.

I agree. If she wants to be a role model then she shouldn't say that. At least she should have added something about that kind of actions (sending naked pics to your boyfriend) belongs to adult relationships. But I understand her. She feels embarrassed about it and tries to make it not a big deal.

I'm a dude and if Rihanna sends me some naked pics nothing is wrong its the assholes who leak it is the b*tch sending naked pics doesn't have nothing to do with being a role model cause it not like she sexing in the public role model her sexual life is her personal life and if someone would do that to embarrass her don't ever say never unless you know all the odd and probabilities of life a lot of us do things that we say would have never done maybe its not in the context of What she did but it shoes that unless we in her shoes,her space, then we judge give the girl a break........and you hearing this from a real dude not a female perspective that is fake and speak on the facts and not emotions due to now being a fan or just don't like her.

its not her admitting that she enjoys entertaining her man that i have a problem with. To each his own....Pose, heffa pose lol.... It's the fact that she's throwing out a peep show every 14 seconds just so someone will snap a picture of her washed up behind...

SHE IS RIRI DICULOUS SHE IS GETTING ON EVERYBODY NERVES PLEASE GO TAKE YO NO SINGING ASS SOMEWHERE AND SIT DOWN FOREVER..GO BACK TO BARBADOS SING OVER THERE SOMEWHERE JUST GO ANYWHERE I DONT CARE JUST GO..

I'm not stupid enough to send my husband naked photos. Those of you who do, expect them to be leaked/shown to others/misused (not that my husband would do it, but those that end up breaking up will not show you the same respect). I use the same theory with emails/blogging/etc. - never write something you don't want others to read or something that can be held against you. What if your employer saw a nude photo of you on Facebook or somewhere online? You can't trust anyone. Please ladies, show some respect for yourself. It's almost impossible regain a lost reputation.

Rhianna is acting like sending naked pics to your boyfriend is harmless. The problem with sending naked pics of yourself to your boyfriend (or even your husband) is that in the event of break up your pictures can be misused.

It's a very bad message to send to young girls that it's OK to send naked pics. Naked pictures has messed up so many young girls and grown women's lives.

Not sending naked pics of yourself is the smart thing to do.

If a celebrity wants to take nude photos of themselves, film themselves having sex, or whatever they want to do behind closed doors, then they are beyond stupid for not having learned from so many other's mistakes. Honestly. You would think they would know better by now.

I really don't like her comment that she feels "sorry" for any guy whose girlfriend won't send naked photos of herself to him. Nice way to put some pressure on any girl who felt slightly insecure or who was being pressured by her boyfriend to do so. Idiot.

Also, I'd just like to reiterate that I don't have any problem with those who DO take photos of themselves for their boyfriends/husbands. Do what you want, as long as it's consenual.

But I think anyone with a little bit of fame needs to exercise a bit more caution.

I agree with what you're saying, Louie. I think the thing that is missing when these pictures are taken is responsibility. I personally do not condemn people for TAKING these photos but it's a harsh world we live in and if you're going to take those photos and send them you MUST be smart, responsible, and AWARE of the consequences. The photos are harmless in private but damaging in the public if they weren't meant to been seen by the public (like the art I mentioned before).

I do think that it was irresponsible of her to make that comment because, like it or not, she is someone that impressionable young girls look up to. Unfortunately sending naked pics can have devastating consequences for young girls because often their relationships are fleeting and young boys can be very immature.
I think Rihanna is very talented, but she is young herself and needs to learn how much impact her comments can make.

SO DID CHRIS BROWN SEND NUDE PHOTOS OF HIMSELF TO RIHANNA?

Do your boyfriends send you nude photographs in return? Or are you girls just the sluts of the relationship?

I guess so, since women are so stupid. Ugh. I'm sick of it.

^#40. Actually not all women are stupid... How can you generalize like that and imply that in every relationship the photos are one sided? Of course, there are girls out there who send the photos because they are insecure but there are also women out there who have secure realtionships and are in equal partnerships. Honestly, most of the outcry is just because so many people are so convinced that they are the morality police. It none of our business what goes on in a responsible and consensual partnership. Rihanna's young and naive. The point is to educate young girls about the right choices but also the reprecussions of their actions. Throw your stones at the people who've convinced Rihanna and so many young girls to act so foolishly not the intelligent adults who are free to do what they want in their lives.

Um, yes, actually, #40. Generally, I expect a couple pictures back. I don't understand what the big deal is. Pre-digital age, a couple of pictures I'd taken for my husband turned up in the house where they had been hidden away and yes, his brother happened to see them. I don't understand why this is such a huge deal. I thought I looked pretty damn good in the pictures and refuse to be embarassed over the ordeal.

wtf!!! trying to make your boyfriend happy. she is so dumb.

Ummm...NO!!! not everyone sends their boyfriend naked photos....WTF for?!?! it's plain stupidity. Especially with today's digital. you don't want naked photos of yours turning up in any random webpages. dumb F***!

Sorry, not everyone takes nude photos of themselves and sends them to one's boyfriend. She can feel sorry for my man all she wants, but he ain't gettin' no nude pics!!

#45 ...i couldn't have said it any better. riri, you need to sit your ass down!

I admire the honesty, but agree that it probably wasn't the smartest comment to pick in a role model for young girls' sense. Gotta pick one or the other.

you don't have to be a wh*re to keep your boyfriend happy. i feel bad for rihanna no self respect.

I wouldn't have judged her for taking naked photos for private use - but then she just had to go and attack women who choose to keep their clothes on didn't she?

Relationships can go wrong - those photos could end up on the internet, or plasted all over your school or office (it's happened before). I can't believe she's encouraging girls to do this.

Wow how very sad for her if that is what she truly believes.

There are many other ways if one uses their imagination. Years ago there were no cell phones .
Taking nude pics of yourself to send to a partner IMO doesn't take any thought at all and can cost you alot more than just trying to add a little spice to a relationship.......
