On April 9, Rihanna shared on her personal Instagram the cover photo and behind the scenes of the photo shoot for Interview magazine .
In it, the female singer born in 1988 seems to transform into a nun with a characteristic black and white headgear.
What caught our attention was that this nun was not as dignified as usual, instead wearing a loose, unbuttoned shirt.
Revealing a large portion of her body with flashy blue eye makeup and red lips.
The face has a puzzled expression, the eyes are half open while the mouth is opened provocatively. In the behind-the-scenes video, Rihanna is even more daring when she puts one hand on her chest.
The post attracted attention from many netizens, with more than 1.6 million Likes after one day. However, in the comments section, most comments expressed anger. They condemned the singer Diamonds for sexualizing the image of pure nuns and insulting Christianity.
Netizens commented: “Christianity is openly disrespected”, “We need God more than ever”, “She can wear anything else”, “I am Muslim but this is so offensive”, “Why do people make fun of Christianity like that?”, “I’m not a Christian but I find it infuriating”, “This is wrong left”…
Not only on Rihanna’s personal page, the photo and video above were also shared on the Korean forum theqoo and reached more than 100,000 views in just a short time.
Users of the ginseng network are upset because of the act of mocking other people’s beliefs. They also evaluate that sexualizing the image of nuns or any mainstream profession shows problematic thinking.
Korean audiences reacted: “The photo looks so disgusting and stupid”, “Why did she do this”, “Why does she have such an expression?, “Watching the video makes it even worse “, “It feels like she’s possessed by a demon”…
Representatives for Rihanna and Interview did not comment on the controversy. The female billionaire then continued to post other photos taken for the famous magazine. The photo set brings a dark, criminal and genderless feeling. Many people praised the female singer’s new image. For them, the photos are artistic.
However, a part seemed uncomfortable because of the heavy and somewhat extreme atmosphere that the photo set conveyed.
“Why does ‘art’ have to be so dark now? What is conveyed by these seemingly haunted photos? Everyone tries to follow this dark trend. Doesn’t anyone want to be sober and original anymore?” , one viewer wrote.
