Rihanna responds with fury after she's dubbed a 'toxic pop princess' by Liz Jones


Rihanna has launched a foul-mouthed personal attack on a Daily Mail writer after she was called a 'toxic pop princess' in a recent article.
In a lengthy message posted on her Twitter page, the singer insisting the Liz Jones's criticism of her as a role model was entirely unfounded, because she has never aimed to set an example for young children.
Rihanna also shared an unflattering picture of Jones, before continuing with her rant.

Lengthy: Rihanna certainly didn't hold back in her criticism of the journalist

She wrote: 'If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here's a toxic tip: don't be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What's all this about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ....That s**t ain't clever!!! That s**t ain't journalism! That's a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!!'
Rihanna continued: 'Nobody over here acts like they're perfect! I don't pretend that I'm like you, i just live... My life!! And I don't know why y'all still act so surprised by any of it!!
'"Role Model" is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own f****d up s**t to work on, I'll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it's ME!!'
The singer's astonishing post comes in response to Jones' article, which criticised her mainly for her drug-taking following a series of Twitter pictures over the weekend featuring Rihanna smoking marijuana.
Other points Jones raised included the singer's overtly sexual dance moves and the fact she rekindled her romance with Chris Brown after he was convicted of her assault.
Jones concluded in her feature: 'While Rihanna knows when to tone it down in order to pull in advertising deals and keep her record label sweet the message she’s sending to her young fans, through her explicit lyrics, vile dance moves and pictures on Twitter, is utterly toxic.

Rihanna's rant was in response to the below article by Jones which featured in the Daily Mail and on Mail Online on Monday

'This poisonous pop princess should come with a government health warning.'
However, Rihanna contended that the label was too 'wordy', tweeting: 'Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy! And P.S. my first American Vogue cover was in 2011...APRIL!!! #ElizabethAnnJones.'
Rihanna is currently in the middle of the European leg of her Diamonds world tour, and will be performing in Cologne, Germany, on Wednesday night.
