Op-ed: If Rihanna isn’t pregnant then she is just getting fat shamed

October 31, 2019 by Texas Travesty

Recently published photos of the 31-year old superstar Robyn Rihanna Fenty with a noticeable little tum-tum have led to harmful comments and assumptions flying through the Twitterverse. Even if Rihanna is pregnant, you aren’t supposed to ask or assume that a woman is pregnant until she has added a baby emoji with a due date to her bios on all social media platforms. Common sense! The assumptions being made are ridiculous. If Rihanna is accused of having a baby bump, but later confirms there is no baby existing within the bump, then that means that she is just being accused of having a bump, making this whole thing a whopping fat joke. How could the body positivity community have missed this? Even more harmful implications exist … such as the one that Rihanna has had sex. There is literally no scientific evidence that backs this claim! Hit song “Sex with Me” could be someone else’s story that RiRi humbly offered to share with the world for millions of dollars and awards. A proud and unmarried Christian woman would likely not promote such an unholy act. Furthermore, why would Riri make a song about herself having sex, knowing that her parents would eventually listen to it? It’s embarrassing that people can even think with such little sense. Tragically, we live in a society that fat shames women who have tummies that resemble a baby bump, including Riri’s.
