Rihanna attended a performance of the popular Broadway show, on Saturday night , which seemed fun and innocent until a thankful tweet from the playwright turned sour.
Jeremy O. Harris, the show's writer, posted a photo of himself laughing and hugging RiRi, with the caption, "Two things I learned today about the Type of theatre maker I am: When my idol texts that she’s running late. I hold the curtain for her. When my idol texts me during a play I’ve written, I respond."
Again, seemed pretty innocent, until a number of critics condemned Rihanna for "texting throughout the performance." "Stop applauding her behavior," one user added. She texted throughout the performance. Multiple “common” audience members who paid for their tickets have confirmed this. Stop applauding her behavior.As the debate over "theatre etiquette" heated up, Harris quickly came to Rihanna's defense, slamming "miss me w tweets chastising anyone in my audience for using a phone to send a text.
