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.
