After losing her grandmother earlier this week, Rihanna has to deal with more stress with a court battle
Rihanna probably won't wear this outfit to court
Talking about Rihanna and accountants in the same breath seems very
weird, but this is what we're about to do. So bear with us, this is one
of those serious type stories that gets a bit complicated.
Let's do it in a list format:
1. Rihanna has a lot of money. She's 24 now and she's been a singer
since she was a teenager, and she's HUGE. In a success way, not in a
size way. Obviously.
2. She has people who look after all the money stuff for her. This is where the accountants come in.
3. She doesn't think that they did this very well, and reckons they
earned a lot of commissions from tours, which caused her to lose
millions of dollars. The lawsuit isn't about her most recent tour, which
took place after she parted ways with the company.
4. She's understandably a bit miffed about that and along with her
tour company, filed a lawsuit about it, seeking compensatory damages and
loss of earnings from accountancy firm Berdon LLP and former employees
Michael Mitnick and Peter Gounis.
"Between 2005 and 2010, Tourihanna suffered significant losses due to
defendants' financial mismanagement and other acts and omissions," the
lawsuit said.
Got the official bit? Good, good. Rihanna lost her grandma earlier this week, and paid a Twitter tribute
The news comes at the end of a bad week for Rihanna, who may have to
cancel an appearance at Wireless after her grandma lost her battle with
cancer.
Let's hope next week is better for RiRi.
