Rihanna Kicked Out of Abu Dhabi Mosque, Doesn’t Seem to Care


own fans) — pushed the boundaries again. This time, however, authorities pushed back.


The pop princess was asked to leave Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque complex on Friday when she attempted to pose for an unauthorized photo shoot at the place of worship Rihanna — who isn't known for being overly considerate of others (including her.

Posing in a black jumpsuit with a wrap that covered her head, the star still managed to look rather sultry as she stared into the camera, caressed her hips, and even rolled around on the floor a little. She completed her look with a giant gold necklace and bright red lips that were positioned in a bedroom pout.

Staff reportedly spotted her and requested that she leave the compound because her actions were considered to not be in line with the "sanctity" of the site. And while RiRi wasted no time tossing up the pics on Instagram, the mosque publicly addressed the situation as well, releasing a statement to explain its position — not that it needed much explanation.

"In the event of behavior that violates the moral codes of access to the mosque, or other visit regulations — such as taking inappropriate pictures, posing in ways that are improper in the context of sacred place, talking loudly, or eating — the violators are directed in a polite manner that reflects the civilizational and tolerant attributes of Islam."

According to the authorities, Rihanna showed up "for a private visit to the mosque, at a gate that is not reserved for visitors, without prior coordination with the Centre’s management and without identifying herself." It does concede, however, that the 25-year-old star did leave "without entering the mosque, after being asked to do so." So … that's good at least.
