Rihanna CALLS OUT CBS For Pulling Her Music!!!

In the wake of the Ray Rice elevator video, Rihanna CALLS OUT CBS For Pulling Her Music from “Thursday Night Football” last week and air it this week instead.

Rihanna is NOT happy with CBS poor decision to yank her musical opening from “Thursday Night Football” stating on her Twitter:

Rihanna-1

CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus told SI.com last week of the decision to bump Rihanna’s intro, among other features:

“We thought journalistically and from a tone standpoint, we needed to have the appropriate tone and coverage.”

“A lot of the production elements we wanted in the show are being eliminated because of time or tone.”

It seems that CBS isn’t forgetting that Rihanna was a victim of an assault by singer Chris Brown, her then boyfriend. Since then, Brown received probation, counseling and community service after entering a guilty plea to one count of felony assault. Last week he even weighed in with some advice for Rice.

CBS released a statement saying they will NOT use Rihanna’s performance going forward, saying:

“Beginning this Thursday, we will be moving in a different direction with some elements of our Thursday Night Football open. We will be using our newly created Thursday Night Football theme music to open our game broadcast.”
