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

Yep, another Albanian who doesn't know her place...

Honestly, the hatred that successful refugees and immigrants get on Mumsnet is off the scale.

I didn't know she's Albanian (and it's probably the same for many other posters on here). I still think her outfit looks like a fly curtain.

RosyappleA · 07/05/2024 15:06

I wouldn’t call her out specifically but yes that outfit screams, “I need to stay relevant, google me.”
That sleazeball she married did make me think what the hell.

Phew!

I know right? Although tbf, It wasn't me asking, just not sure why it bothers you so much

Mummyofbananas · 07/05/2024 15:08

She's very pretty and she's an ok presenter I'd say but her music is boring and bland- I think I can only name one song and I don't like it, I am surprised how famous she is for what she's done.

I don't have an issue with what she wears though- she has a lovely figure- I'd happily show mine off if I looked like that.

Ahem

Excuse you

Fashion crimes against humanity, is it?

My dress had ancient beads,
Older than anyone on this planet
including my husband and Anna Wintour

Cara DeLaVagine wore a chainmail hoodie

Eddie Redmayne nicked his wife's dress
You could see Emily Ratajkowski's tits
I was doing an Angie Jolie's legs thing
Plus the theme was Lady Garden Of Time
Did you not read the memo?

Love
Rita Kia Ora
aka Rita Waititi
(but Rita Waitita rhymes
and as does Rita Ryvita)

You can Google it if you really want to know.

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 07/05/2024 15:10

I call her Desperora 😀as she's always got some body part out, however, I don't find her entirely without talent, she has a nice tone to her voice.

RitaKiaOraJustForMeAndMyDog · 07/05/2024 15:11

Oh and I made an effort
One just wore a grey cardie you know who you are
One wore a wet tee shirt
I beat those bitches

I get so tired of adult women being castigated for not being role models to young girls when that's not their job. Famous men act like shits and nobody cares what young boys might think. Female singer wears a revealing outfit at an event literally famous for crazy outfits and she's morally responsible For The Children.

The industry she's in is largely controlled by men - women may be singing and dancing but men are waving them through and making the business and marketing decisions. If you want to hold anyone responsible for the deleterious effect on young girls, blame them. All Rita did was sing a song and wear a dress.

Tired of it too..

My parents always told me when I was a child and teen that many celebrities are ADULTS so can do and wear things I can’t and I accepted that. The same parents moaning about role models are often the ones who want to ban things and want the world to completely cater for their children instead of taking personal responsibility as a parent to teach their children what is and isn’t acceptable for them to do of their age.

Most of those at the MET are in their late 20s and up. Why try to police what adults are wearing at an event that is pretty much an extravagant fancy dress party.

She does wear clothes though. Maybe not to your taste, of course. There are lots of people out there in celebrity land, and beyond who seem to have done immensely well, on apparently questionable talent. The World is not a fair place.

She wasn't wearing any last night, just pull up tights and a scarf 😂

Cheers Reets,

Always good to get the background these things.

Is Taika Waititi a sleaze? what did he do?

JellyMarks · 07/05/2024 15:15

I was never a fan purely just because her music wasn’t to my taste but after the whole birthday at sexy fish during lock down thing I really can’t stand her. I dont really care about how little clothing she has on though, I mean I can see that on the high street nowadays 😂

TRACKOK · 07/05/2024 15:18

I'm more offended by the fact that her husband is dressed as a 70s pleather sofa.

Kosovan too, bitch

BrendaSmall · 07/05/2024 15:19

Who even is it?
I’ve seen Primark sell clothes with her name and I’ve seen nail varnish when looking to buy some, apart from that, I’ve never heard of her 🤣🤣

Eh? Why does ethnicity have to be involved, ffs
She sounds pretty Brit to me so don't think her parents country of origin comes in to play here. Looking for the race card, that's 😔

Take my husband's name out of your mouth!

Oh you didn't know his name?

Take T-A-I-K-A out of your mouth!

Why dont you get a grip. The only person mentioning her refugee status is you. Frankly I wasnt even aware of it, because I generally put Rita Ora in the box of over hyped, under clothed, irritating and talentless twats - however, I note that is unreasonable, but not due to her refugee status

Tearing another woman down isn’t going to make you feel any better about yourself OP.

Well, you've got a point. But also ... here's Rita this year, Beyonce, somebody else and Jennifer in previous years, and Kate Middleton the night she met William 😏

RedPony1 · 07/05/2024 15:22

I've seen her at festivals a couple of times, her voice is brilliant live.
If you never listen to pop as a genre you won't know her. if you do, i don't believe you haven't heard of her or at least one of her songs.

My preferred genre is rock and country but i still listen to everything

Isn't the entire point of the Met Gala to have these daft outfits?!
