Rihanna is facing a mountain of backlash following the debut of her cover photo on Interview magazine, which features the singer dressed as a nun and posing in a provocative manner.
The image in question features the Grammy Award–winning singer wearing a nun’s habit, an unbuttoned white shirt, bright blue eyeshadow, and red lipstick. Small cross tattoos can be seen on Rihanna’s face and neck. The title of the interview is “Rihanna Is Ready to Confess.”
The backlash online included many commenters pointing out how often Christianity is mocked compared to other religions.
“Rihanna mocks Catholics. She’d never try this with Islam,” conservative commentator Chad Prather wrote on X. “Teach your children not to admire, follow, or listen to morons like this.”
“Should Interview Magazine and Rihanna try a similar photoshoot with a hijab?” another commenter wondered.
