Catholics Express Outrage over Rihanna Cover Photo Depicting ‘Horny Nun’

A controversial cover photo of Rihanna dressed as a Catholic nun has sparked outrage among some U.S. Catholics. Many view the image as blasphemous and disrespectful to religious sisters. The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) has started a petition in protest of the Spring 2024 cover of Interview magazine, featuring Rihanna in nun attire with an interview titled “Rihanna Is Ready to Confess.” The group’s website condemns Rihanna as a pop singer known for her explicit lyrics and provocative photo shoots. TFP accuses Rihanna and Interview of mocking the dignity of nuns, calling it a scandalous act. Despite the controversy, the interview with Rihanna sheds light on her strong faith and belief in God. She credits COVID for accelerating her relationship with rapper ASAP Rocky, expressing gratitude for the divine timing. Rihanna also discusses her desire for motherhood and letting God guide her decisions. The cover photo may have sparked outrage, but Rihanna’s interview showcases a more spiritual side of the pop star.
