I just wish the word "bully" would be used properly.
Not to me. So what she gets rude on social media? She's never presented herself to be an angle, but she's got a quick mouth. Some people can't handle her comebacks.
Now, I might be aging myself (40) but back in my schooling days a bully was someone that constantly picked on another kid. Over and over.
When I hear people using it now, I'm thinking the person isn't a bully, just rude or speaking their mind. On these reality shows, if one person says something to another, they get mad and says 'you're being a bully'
I don't get it. It's used too much and wrong

Ahh. I see. I actually just use the actual definition of the word.We're about the same age, but to me, bullying is when you basically have a tendency to physically and/or verbally intimidate someone you perceive as weaker and/or not going to challenge you simply because you can. It doesn't have to be the same person over and over; it only needs to be that you exhibit that behavior consistently. Rihanna has definitely exhibited that behavior to me on social media many times which is what makes me classify her as one.
Going back and forth with someone or being witty with a good comeback is not bullying because that describes both parties participating but attacking someone who did nothing to deserve your attack is bullying. I don't watch reality TV so maybe my perception of the new usage of the word is skewed.
I don't follow her either but she's had quite a few 'incidents' (if I can call if that) where she's come for people with no provocation.Ok. We will just agree to disagree.
I don't follow her on social media. I just seen screen captures of dialogues. It seems to me that the fans/followers come at her FIRST and she says her peace.
If it is that chick that looked like WuTang. Well I had a laugh because she looked dumb and was too young to be wearing such clothing. Her parents deserved a dragging.
Compare Rihanna to some of these other stars of today, Minaj, Iggy, Ariana, I don't think her attitude has ever been reported as stank as theirs.
I want to take her latest vine clip and turn it into my ringtone!
