“Isn’t Empowerment, Just Desperate Marketing”: Rihanna’s Racy Lingerie Pics Brutally Dragged Online

“Still posting thirst traps at almost 40 plus 3 kids is insane. Are you okay?”

However, many defended Rihanna against the backlash, arguing that she looked “powerful” and had “found her groove back,” and that the images were intended for her lingerie brand’s target demographic.

One fan wrote, “Why are people going crazy… She’s modeling for her own brand… It’s literally targeted at a specific demographic, not herself personally. Yes she is a mum, but she is also a business woman, when you lads are successful like her then you can lecture her on how to run her business.”
