Special Edition: Certain "Media" Outlets Being HIGHLY Offensive and Disrepectful in Reporting the Rihanna/Leonardo DiCaprio Rumors

For several months, there have been numerous reports about the possibility of A-list entertainers, Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio, being a couple or dating. However on certain "media" websites and blogs, I noticed a pattern. There was disbelief and outright denial from popular mainstream white "poptart websites and their blog offspring.

Normally when two A-list entertainers are rumored to be a twosome, the headlines scream GUESS WHICH TWO A-LISTERS ARE RUMORED TO BE A HOT NEW COUPLE, TOM & JANE'S STEAMY ROMANCE, TOM OFF THE MARKET?, JANE MEETS HER ROMEO?, TOM AND JANE IN LOVE?, JANE AND TOM'S HOT NEW ROMANCE IS HEATING UP and so on and so on, you get the drift.


TMZ released these first grainy photos of the two at Rihanna's birthday party

Yet, for Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio this hasn't been the case, as far as the "white" entertainment website bloggers choice of headlines. From the beginning the mention of the possible closeness of the two, has been met with denial, shock and outright offensive language in describing the relationship if any. Below is a little sampling of what has been slandered about on certain gossip/entertainment write-ups...NOT the comment section, but the actual ARTICLE.

-Leonardo is not into Rihanna,
-The Leonardo/Rihanna pairing is odd and strange, so it is probably not true
-No, they're not together, they're just friends
-Rihanna isn't Leonardo's type
-Rihanna is clingy, Leonardo is not, he recently hit on a blonde in front of Rihanna and he also hit on Dakota
  Johnson during the Oscars, so he's single and not attached to Rihanna
-Leonardo DiCaprio is NOT dating Rihanna -Rihanna isn't dating Leonardo, she's dating his best friend,
 Richie Akiva.
-Rihanna is dating both Leonardo and Richie (Basically attempting to make her look...you know.)
 ANYTHING to discount the obvious closeness she has with Leonardo
-Leonardo hasn't even been photographed with Rihanna or stepped out in public with her, so it's just a
  fling  if anything 
-The two stars were just at the same location, no big deal. They aren't together.
-Leonardo has moved on from Rihanna with a blonde

The above writings were nothing but an attempt from obvious website bloggers who are perhaps white women that refuse to believe that their "Golden Boy" Leonardo DiCaprio would even THINK to date a successful, talented and beautiful woman color...or white men who were just being hella disrespectful. I suppose it was and is easier for them to cheapen any type of relationship the two may have to make themselves feel better. But let's get one thing clear. To basically insinuate Rihanna is whorish is slanderous and offensive. But these are the lengths certain websites and magazines have tried to make it appear to downplay any dating rumors.

IMAGINE IF EVERYTHING THAT HAS GONE ON BETWEEN RIHANNA AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO, AS FAR AS THE RUMORS GO, IMAGINE IF THE FEMALE CELEBRITY WOULD HAVE BEEN TAYLOR SWIFT, DAKOTA JOHNSON OR ANYBODY WHITE, INSTEAD OF RIHANNA. TRUST AND BELIEVE THE HEADLINES AND THE ARTICLES WOULD HAVE READ QUITE DIFFERENTLY. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? TAKE A BIG GUESS.

I can understand celebrities wanting their privacy. However it is not a good look for Leonardo DiCaprio to be pictured walking with his head down and caps over his eyes when he is in the vicinity of Rihanna. It just looks off. The fact that Leonardo had no problems in the past walking in broad daylight with white rumored girlfriends and friends, makes it look that much more crazy and perhaps is one of the reasons why the "poptart" media is dismissing Rihanna as nothing more than a hookup. I don't understand why folks just can't report accurately without insulting Rihanna. The rude and offensive statements only solidify the writer's shortcomings and uncovers the depths of their jealousy and hostility.

Rihanna nor Leonardo DiCaprio have confirmed or denied the rumors, they really could just be friends, but, folks need to show a little bit more respect when reporting an entertainment story. Don't trash someone's reputation to cover your obvious envy.

Rihanna is a Grammy award winning artist who has sold millions of albums, secured lucrative endorsement deals in fashion, cosmetics and beyond. Show some respect.  

Point blank and the freaking period.
