“You Are Shaming Victims Of Domestic Violence “- Rihanna Slams Snapchat Over Ad


Multi Award winning artist Rihanna has slammed International  multimedia messaging app Snapchat  for it’s  insensitive advert .

Snapchat recently posted an AD for a game called “Would You Rather?”, featured photos of the two singers and asked users if they would “rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown.”

Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to assaulting Rihanna during an argument when they were dating.
The “Would You Rather” ad was removed earlier this week, and Snapchat released an apology saying “The advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines”.

 


Rihanna slammed the company via a statement on  her Snapchat account, criticizing the company for making light of domestic violence.

She wrote”Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain’t my fav app out there! But I’m just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess!” the singer wrote. “I’d love to call it ignorance but I know you ain’t that dumb. You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to DV victims and made a joke of it.”
