A former bodyguard for Rihanna has filed a lawsuit against the singer. As reported by TMZ, the man called Geoffrey Keating from Dublin filed the lawsuit in Ireland’s High Court on Monday, April 28, claiming that the “Stay” hitmaker made “nauseatingly offensive” statements about him in email exchange to his partner in July. Keating, who worked as the head of security for the singer between October 2012 and July 2013, said that her remarks ruined his reputation and business.

Keating’s attorney Gerald Kean was granted a motion to serve Rihanna with the lawsuit in the U.S. He told the site, “We’re taking this battle very seriously. We are satisfied that the Irish Courts will see justice at the end of the day.” Representative for Rihanna has not responded to request for comments.

Popstar Rihanna was asked to leave an  Rihannamosque because she did not have permission for a photoshoot, it emerged today.

 

Rihanna-asked to leave an Abu Dhabi mosque5

Staff at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque say they asked the singer to leave the compound after her actions were considered to be at odds with the ‘sanctity’ of the site.

Photos posted on her Instagram account at the weekend show the 25-year-old posing on white marble wearing a head-to-toe hooded black jumpsuit.

But today it emerged that Rhianna and her team was not given permission to take photos at the mosque, the main place of worship for Friday gathering and Eid prayers.

 

UAE-Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

The mosque, which is the largest in the UAE and can hold more than 40,000 people, released a statement, and although it does not name Rhianna, it refers to a ‘recent incident, involving a singer.’

It said the singer ‘left without entering the mosque, after being asked to do so, due to the fact that she had taken some pictures that do not conform with the conditions and regulations put in place by the Centre’s management to regulate visits in a way that takes the status and sanctity of the mosque into

consideration.’

Many of her fans attacked the singer for the photos which have since appeared on websites across the world.

‘Rihanna may look gorgeous and all but she’s covering her head out of fashion not out of respect for the mosque,’ wrote one user.

Rihanna hasn’t publicly responded to the actions by staff at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque which is a major tourist site in the United Arab Emirates’ capital.

Too much for the Irish? Rihanna’s topless image is covered up on billboards across Dublin

Rihanna's photo in Dublin4She shocked locals when she stripped off in a field in Northern Ireland to shoot her video We Found Love in 2011, and it seems the people of Ireland still haven’t recovered Rihanna’s raunchy video shoot.

Images of the singer topless have been plastered on billboard around the Irish city to promote her Diamonds world tour stop at the Aviva Stadium on June 21st.

Pictures of the star have been covered up with items of clothing which conceal the singer’s modesty.

Several of the billboards have been covered with dresses stapled across Rihanna’s chest, concealing her the topless photo used to promote her Unapologetic album and Diamonds tour.

Rihanna’s world tour promotional images are not the first time the singer has angered residents of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

In September 2011, Rihanna had been filming the video for her latest single, We Found Love, with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris – which at one point saw the singer go topless – when 61-year-old farmer Alan Graham spotted her stripping down to a bikini made up of red handkerchiefs.

The furious farmer, who asked for filming to be halted, later defended his actions, saying Rihanna’s behaviour was ‘inappropriate’.

 

Rihanna ‘to sue Topshop for £3million’ after fashion chain uses pictures of her on T-shirts without her permission

r1Rihanna is threatening to sue Topshop after claiming they sold T-shirts with her face on it without asking permission.

The superstar’s team is said to have told the high street clothing chain run by billionaire Sir Phillip Green to stop selling them, and is reported to be asking for £3million in compensation at the High Court.

It was even rumoured she might follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss and design a range for Topshop, but the two parties could now face each other in court.

Last year Topshop released a T-shirt featuring a picture of Rihanna from her ‘We Found Love’ music video, which sold out quickly afterwards.

In Britain companies could argue that by buying the image from the

photographer, they do not have to pay licensing fees to the star pictured.

‘Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image,’ the source said

‘What is most offensive for Rihanna is that they basically told her, “Go to hell. We don’t care”; we are going to continue selling you.

‘Even though the UK laws don’t protect the artist, she has decided to move forward and sue Topshop. She has spent almost $1 million in litigation at this point. She says it’s the principle, and wants to make a statement about it. They are taking advantage of artists. It is just exploitation. What they are doing is wrong.’
