RITA ORA- an example of all that is wrong with the world

I am being unreasonable, and not sure whether its jealousy or irritation that she has done so well with little discernible talent. However, she irritates me intensely for being presumably financially very successful for not wearing any clothes. MET Gala case in point. She is just such a narcissist. I know there are others out there, but she doesnt even have a crap reality show with her sisters

Interesting that someone brings up her ethnicity when Rita was often cited as an example of blackfishing. Does criticising the Kardashian Jenners mean that you are anti-Armenian?

Isn't most of the showbiz world overrated

stayathomer · 07/05/2024 13:11

personally I really enjoy her songs, they’re easy listening. Really liked her in next top model too. She seems nice. Plus do they get a choice in what they wear to the met gala? I thought they were just given it? Op you seem a bit angry, is she a neighbour or something?

I think you're giving her too much attention if she bothers you that much. I largely ignore her as I don't have any interest in what she has to offer, musically or sartorially.

Don't give bandwidth to people you don't like.

I couldn't call out Rita specifically as there are just too many vacuous celebrities to choose from but I get your thinking generally, OP...I mean, who are they? What are they for?? (Channeling Nikki Grahame there, bless her RIP)

I dont know who Nikki Graham is, but anyone who uses the phrase 'what are they for?' about another human must be pretty grim.

Why do women feel they have to be naked at these events?

I think anyone who’s rich and famous will be a narcissist as you kinda need to be to trample on others to get yourself to the top. However Rita ora is such a random celeb to call out specifically. Theres far worse untalented awful people out there

No, you really don't need to "trample on others" at all. Plenty of rich and famous people have actually done it on merit without trampling on others.

In the music world, I'd cite Olivia Newton John as a prime example of how you can be "nice" to everyone and still rise to the top based only on your talent and being nice! Literally no one ever had a bad word to say about her!

tennesseewhiskey1 · 07/05/2024 13:20

Nah, I see you a Rita and raise you an Em Rata. What does she even do?! How is she famous.

Crushed23 · 07/05/2024 13:28

Who’s the guy Rita Ora is standing next to? Anyone know?

It is her husband Taika Waititi according to YouTube.

Is she the one who held her spesh birthday party in a restaurant in lock down?

Bingo

ssd · 07/05/2024 13:34

I cant stand her either. Too entitled, too much attention and money.

LauderSyme · 07/05/2024 13:34

Nikki Grahame died?!

I met her in a pub toilet in Pinner once.

Sillystrumpet · 07/05/2024 13:36

I never really understand people who sit behind a key board seething in envy and anger as some celeb they have never met is successful. It’s unutterably sad.

she can wear what she wishes. It’s her life. Dragging her down isn’t going to make yours any better.

LauderSyme · 07/05/2024 13:38

OMG I just googled Nikki Grahame and she died of anorexia in 2021 weighing 4 and a half stone. Poor woman, nobody deserves that.

Too much attention and money? How envious are you?

FizzyDucks · 07/05/2024 13:48

I warmed to her after watching the Louis Theroux episode with her.

I am however fed up with all the tits and bums on display at the Met Gala. They all think they are being so "edgy and out there" when every other person is doing exactly the same. It might have been a bold statement 10 years ago but now it's just boring. I honestly think I have seen Emily Ratajawotzits tits more than I have seen my own!

You don’t want to search for the after show pictures… omg 🙈

MrsMattMurdock · 07/05/2024 13:50

Lol @ "desperate for attention". The only way to successfully be a celebrity is to "get attention". That's the entire gig! What's wrong with wanting attention anyway? Is it somehow unseemly? This judgment is all very Victorian and weird.

Yes, how dare an Albanian refugee find success in her adoptive home, have a number one single and album and over a dozen top ten hits, become an honorary ambassador for her maternal country, and go on to be adored by millions. She should be sent to Rwanda!

Exactly.

Rita Ora is lovely and has a very good voice. Her .... outfit was revealing but she wasn't showing her minge. I've seen more shown on a public beach! She actually looked very pretty. However, it now seems the op was joking.

NonPlayerCharacter · 07/05/2024 13:54

peeweemermaid · 07/05/2024 12:23

Youre absolutely right. My DM scrolling led me to her and the over hyping and hence financial success of this vacuous idiots is very annoying. Perhaps also showing my age, but Rita ORA as a successful music artist, must have been living under a rock for 20 years because I cant think of one song!

If you've been living anywhere for 20 years then you're probably not her market!

But if you're that old, then you're also old enough to know that pop singers using sex to sell really isn't anything new.

From the venomous abuse the op is hurling, I can’t see how you think she was joking

Quite, we love to hate successful people in the UK - and if they are immigrants and women, all the more so. It's pathetic.
