Rihanna is feeling fine after being briefly hospitalized Monday night.
The singer was taken to a private clinic after performing a concert in Zurich, Switzerland. According to her rep, Rihanna “had an injured rib and went to have it looked at to be sure it was nothing serious, and it wasn’t. All is okay and the tour is going great.”
According to Rihannadaily, she continued the European leg of her “Last Girl on Earth” tour Tuesday night with a concert in Lyon, France, and is expected to play in Marseille on Wednesday.
Rihanna plans to kick off her North American tour in Seattle this July.
MO’NIQUE NOT HAPPY WITH OPRAH
Comedienne and now Oscar winning actress Mo’Nique is reportedly not happy with Oprah Winfrey.
Earlier this week, Mo’Nique’s brother Gerald Imes appeared on Oprah’s show and spoke candidly about molesting her when he was a teenager. He also expressed remorse and apologized for what he had done.
Radar Online reports that Oprah called Mo’Nique and asked her if it was ok to have him on the show and Mo’Nique gave her her blessing. But sources say Mo’Nique was not happy with the outcome.
Winfrey – who also suffered sexual abuse – wanted to make sure that the Precious star fully understood what her estranged brother would say after he originally approached her to appear on the show. On the show – which aired on Monday – Imes confirmed that the molestation continued for a year or two, starting when he was 13 and Mo’Nique was 7 or 8.
But Mo’Nique believes her brother lied on the show and didn’t convey the full extent of what he did to her. As a result, her relationship with her brother and her parents, who also appeared on the show, is worse than ever [ READ MORE ].
matt kemp did it she loves abusers
good that she’s okay..
oprah
haha #1 ur crazy
well if he lied how is that oprah’s fault? i don’t get it.
I think Oprah shouldn’t have agreed to have him on in the first place. these kind of people don’t deserve any shine. instead why don’t they seek help and counseling and mend their family in private?
Oprah obviously wanted the ratings. However, Mo’nique shouldn’t have given her blessing. You know you’re family better than other – she must have known her wasn’t going top be completely honest
people who do the shadiest shit still wanna make THAT look alright and victimize themselves.
With those tight as.s corsets and ugly as.s outfits she wears, I wonder why.
Monique knew her brother would be on the show. Why would she allow him to be on there anyways exposing her molestation? What did she expect? Like he and her parents said, she should have kept it in the family. I believe she is using this as publicity. The brother got paid big bucks to be on Oprah. It is keeping her and Oprah and in the media. Get therapy, confront him & your parents, move on, & keep it to yourself. Why share your mess with strangers & the world?
Everyone has a past. Deal with it and let it go.
Be careful RiRi. Love ya mami!
Saw the interview & her Bro is a nasty mofo. I wouldn’t talk to the Fam either.
WE’RE JUST OUTSIDERS LOOKING IN…WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH. SO THERE’S NO USE IN TRYING TO CRITICIZE AND JUDGE. OPRAH WAS WRONG FOR HAVING HIM ON THE SHOW….AND I LOVED WHEN HE TOLD HER TO “STOP” AND SHE TURNED AROUND AND GAVE HIM THAT LOOK #CLASSIC.
Cosign #6
I don’t understand how this is Oprah’s fault. She gave her, her blessing. So why is Oprah at fault? My thing is that this should’ve never came out to the public, and the family should’ve got counseling long time ago. It’s truly the saddest thing I’ve heard in a while.
LOL@ #1 yup it was Matt, she is into rudeboys afterall!
Rihanna+a mic=ear bleeds
Her bro is a sicko, Monique should have never agreed to that in the first place
God bless Mo
I hate how her family tried to downplay what happened to her,and took up for her brother.However,if she’s angry at Oprah,she shouldn’t be.She was not obligated to give the go ahead,she could have said no and THEN if Oprah still did the interview,
would have a reason to be angry with her.And people want to sit there and say Oprah is wrong for having him on the show,and that she’s doing it for ratings,umm NEWSFALSH Oprah doesn’t need to do anything for ratings,she’s Oprah.
Monique has every right to be pissed at her family,but not at Oprah.
WHO CARES IF SHE INJURED HER RIB? WE ALL KNOW SHE DIDN’T DO IT BEING SUCH AN AMAZING PERFORMER. SHE CAN’T SING. SHE’S ANOTHER NAKED CHICK. SHE’S TRULY THE BLACK BRITNEY SPEARS. PERIOD. AT LEAST BRITNEY CAN DANCE. SHE PROBABLY GOT THE INJURY WHILE SCREWING MATT KEMP. I DON’T CARE HOW MANY RECORDS YOU SET OR SELL….IT MEANS NOTHING IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE TALENT TO BACK IT UP.
RIRI feel better.
I figured Monique would react like this and be mad but I was really hoping she wouldn’t. Be real and say, Oprah, it’s your show but I would appreciate it if you would not do this interview. That is all she had to say. Then see, if the interview still took place then she would have grounds to be angry. Monique is the victim but she let the villain have a shining moment at her expense. All spotlight ain’t good!
@14
Why you mad????
Anyways I feel so bad for Monique. I saw her mama the other day on Oprah. Her mother is so damn ignorant. Talking about Monique should have kept that within the family. Was she serious? Monique shouldn’t have given her the blessing to have him on the show. She knows her family is very ignorant. I’m glad that Monique has spoken out about her abuse but to let Oprah have him on her show just made me sick. He does not need to be on Oprah for molesting Monique. Can we get some positive people on your show Oprah?
Her and those damn Mickey Mouse Ears! Ugh!!!
Anywho, heard this earlier, couldn’t have been too much of a big deal if she has already rusumed her tour already. I wonder how the hell she bruised her rib, all she does is walk back and forth on stage looking pretty and screaching!
I was just waiting for the media to find a way to blame Chris Brown! Lol!
As for Monique and her family issues…I don’t want to speak on it cause I know it is a touchy subject for some people. I can just hope and pray that Mo finds hte strenght to forgive him so that she can start the healing process and move on with her life.
I hope that her brother NEVER gets the opportunity to come in contact with any children ever again cause I don’t believe child molesters can be cured!
But I do feel Oprah is all about ratings! I don’t see what the purpose was for giving him a forum on her show. *shrugs*
Get some rest RiRi. U gotta take it easy. Cojelo suave.
Get some rest RiRi. U gotta take it easy. Cojelo suave. I will resere my opinion until i hear a direct statement from Monique. Dont know how credible this source is.
Had no idea that show was broadcasting, I gotta see it!
Regardless I love Monique ! she is awesome !
I thought the IMES man was dead.
Mo’Nique’s brother got what he wanted, to be on TV.
Here Oprah goes again ready to exploit a situation to the fullest as she usually does—-using her show and Monique’s pain to heal her own broken down spirit. Money does not buy happiness and cleary we know Oprah is not happy. Thats all I gotta say.
OPRAH IS HELLA NOSEY I NEVER DID LIKE THAT OLD BITCH
—-BOOM
——Doesn’t “you have my blessings” mean “let the chips fall where they may”?
——The family must want some of that money. Oprah been spreading fertlizer for
——25 years and she finally got some $#!t on herself. It’s time to pull the plug.
Some of you people are so rotten. You just couldn’t wait to post something negative when you saw the name Rihanna. I’m glad she’s okay and continuing her SOLD OUT TOUR! Monique should speak to Oprah if she has a problem with the way her brother was portrayed on the show. She gave Oprah the thumbs up and her brother finally apoligized, what more does she want. My advice to her would be to let it go.
#26….BITCH YOU SOUND STUPID……….AINT NOBODY TRYNA HERE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ….GET THAT TONGUE OUT SHA ASS PRETTTY STUCK UP/…P.S,,,,GET THE FUCK OUT THE LOOP
Poor Rihanna…Oprah is a trip I swear. Anything for ratings.
WHAT IS IT TO KNOW ABOUT SOMEONE RAPING A CHILD OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER? THEY ARE NAZZY COLD HEARTED DIRTY MOFO’S WHOM DESERVE TO ROT IN PRISON. YEA I AM GONNA JUDGE THE NAZZY KNOT ON LEFT SIDE OF HIS SNEAKY EYE ARZE FACE DIRTY LOW DOWN DOG. DIDN’T THEY SAY HE ALSO WENT TO PRISON FOR DOING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE? HER PARENTS, ESPECIALLY THE MOTHER IS SICK FOR TAKING UP FOR HIS DIRTY BEHIND. SHE SENT HIM AWAY FOR 2 WEEKS, GET THE HELL OUTTA OF HERE. I WOULD HAVE STOMPED A MUDHOLE IN HIS STANKY BEHIND. I DON’T BELIEVE HE WAS MOLESTED, JUST AN EXCUSE FOR HIM TO TRY AND COVER UP FOR RAPING HIS SISTER. AS FOR RHIANNA…………NOW SHE GETTING HER ARZE KICKED BY THIS BOYFRIEND,LOL. THAT CHIC HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES.
Well the whole time is suspicious to me that they waited until AFTER she became an Oscar winning actress. Maybe they felt that this time was right but we will never know the full story so oh well.
OPRAH DOES NOT PAY ANYONE TO APPEAR ON HER SHOW, BUT I DO THINK THE BROER MAY HAVE OTHER MOTIVES. MONIQUE SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN SOMEWHAT UPPITY SINCE HER AWARDS AND SHOW. SHE NEEDS TO CHECK HERSELF.
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is a black man, lol. We met online at an interracial dating site[_www. BLACKWHITEROMANCE com_]—a nice and free place for singles- black & white, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.
Speaking as a victim of molestation she is going to have to let it go. While its easier said than done and it took me years to forgive and move on, when I finally did, the weight of anger and bitterness that was lifted off of me was astronomical. And I admit, I did it purely for selfish reasons. Not to give the pedophile a piece of mind or to clear his conscious, I could care less about their feelings, but purely to release the power he had over me so that I could move on and life my life. I’m not saying she has to be buddy-buddy with her bro again or her parents for that matter. She could never speak to either of them again and it would be her right, but forgiveness gives the victim their power back and that’s the greatest gift they could ever receive.
HOW THE F*CK DO U RAPE UR OWN SISTER…..BLOOD SISTER…LITTLE SISTER?! SOMEONE UR SUPPOSE TO PROTECT & LOOK OUT 4?
HOW THE F*CK DO U STAND UP FOR SOMEONE LIKE THAT?!
WHY WOULD MONIQUE SAY ITS OK (maybe deep down she wanted to hear him out)
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD OPRAH PUT HIM ON HER SHOW?!
He’s not important and i KNOW he’s not expecting remorse from me. GTFOH
How you gonna blame it on drugs and u being molested when u raped her for 2 years I know u weren’t molested that long and u probably didn’t use drugs that long either.
personally if my BROTHER raped me (even though i don’t have one) or if I found out someone molested my sister I’D MOS DEF HAVE TO KILL THEM…so he shpuld consider himself lucky that Mo’nique is such a nice person cause i’m sure as hell not.
Rape is one thing trust but it hurts most when it’s done by ur own kin.
OK with the whole Monique situation, I dont understand how she abruptly stopped talk to everyone 2 years ago when the twins came. Why didnt she stop talking to them a while ago if thats the case. I understand her not wanting him around the twins though (of course) but she has an older son, I guess it was ok for her oldere son to be around the molester? I dont know about this, cause she was close to her mom, I remember that being stated before the interview. And it seems like everything is coming to a head now that her HUSBAND is there. He seems sneaky to me. I found it odd how her other brother used to manage her and now she fired him and now her HUSBAND manages her. I hope she wake up, cause remember this negro isn’t doing anything besides screwing her and being a “bestfriend” that just so happen to fall in love with her after years on end. And she used to be ok with the weight until he mentioned something about it now all of a sudden she loses weight. Umm Hmm,,, Im just saying
Maybe she mad a the wrong person? :/
Oprah crossed the line, she used Mo’s pimped Mo’s personal pain for ratings. That was foul.
Some of you all are idiots. When it states above that Monique gaver her blessing…that menas she gave an okay for the interview. Also when did tv shows not consider ratings?

#35 You are on point!
@ 27 You have just proved yourself to be stupid. Everything from your excessive use of profanity to that rediculous screen name. Please get some self respect! SMH
I believe Monique needed to talk about it! Being publicly exposed is the risk molestors take when they molest a child!! Forget their embarrassement, are you kidding me? what about the child’s embarrassment of having their bodies violated against their will? Having some old nasty thang touch, rub, hump, etc and you 7 or 8! Dont talk to me about the keep it in the family crap. All molestors should be exposed on the front pages on newspapers to leave these kids alone! All kids run tell it, tell it everywhere, so those nasty monsters will stop! This molestor went on to violate someone else. His exposure may have prevented that. The family should never have let him back into the home! He was old enough to stay away and get his own place, but to bring him back 2 weeks later! Monique was forced to accept him back and put on face. Sure she had ambivalent feelings to deal with. Now that she has a choice to deal or not, she has chosen to protect her own kids and herself from more abuse, including the emotional abuse of “get over it”. I like Oprah, but felt she used Monique, regardless of the “well, I checked with her first”
Yes, you should forgive, but forgiveness can be a process, especially if the truth is covered up. Getting the truth out there can be healing and freeing for a person. Alot of times, there is emotional abuse after the molestation is over like in the movie “Precious” that comes and goes. People that have been molested by a family member will try to forgive and be around that person again to “prove” their forgiveness, but the memory is still there and alot of times, attitudes of others are still there. Most people that have not been molested try to judge when a person does interacts or is around their molestor later in life as if, “why you was around him then if he molested you” but then, oh you should forgive and forget and be a family. It proves, she tried to do that in her life, by making him manager, but it can come and go, the emotions and attitudes of the family also. Monique probably felt he has not really changed. I am sure, with her older son, she still had it in her mind to protect him or be extra supervisory when “Unc” was around. Besides that, he was locked up for the most of her older sons life. Wasnt he in jail for 12 years!!!!!!! So stop with the older son judgement insinuations. Monique, your exposure has helped alot of people. Now people are talking about it and maybe it will help alot kids that are victims right now.
I agree with # 5 she should have never had him on the show and Mo’nique should have said hell no!!!
so i don’t understand why is she mad at oprah for?????
WOW, SOMEONE IS HURT AND YOU ALL ARE HAPPY, LOL, U KNOW WHAT I CAN’T WAIT TIL KARMA BITES SOME OF YA’LL HATEFUL PEOPLE, UGH AND FOR MONIQUE I AGREE WITH SOME OTHERS , MONIQUE NEEDS TO TALK TO OPRAH.
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[_www. A G E R O M A N C E com_]—a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends
Monique betta calm it down before Oprah shuts her dowwwnnnn!
as for Rhianna- you look like an idiot
as for Mo- I think this story is a lie. if her brother lied, why would she be upset with Oprah? I think this is an example of the media trying to blow things out of proportion. mo aint worried about that rapist. He’s been out of her life for years. stay strong and keep moving
For those of you that keep saying it should’ve been kept private you guys are the problem. I think that it is important as someone of her caliber, a well known celebrity, to reach and be a testimony to those girls that are going through it, or that have been through it. And can relate to her and feel less hopeless and more uplifted by her story. Maybe someone will look at Monique story and feel like they too can become accomplished despite of. I do agree with Monique side of the story. I think in Oprah’s case, it is important to show molesters humility and not glorification! If the family wanted it so private, why didn’t they decline doing the interview??? He should’ve came forward to seek help if nothing else….
OMG!! @ 35.Infamous Doll
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! RIGHT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HUSBAND AIN’T RIGHT! When the family was on Oprah they had photos of them smiling and having a Good time. When she needed something he was always there for her. She forgive him. because they worked it out as a family. I’m not saying what he did was right he was died wrong. I’m just saying Mo start acting different when she Married that man. she’s a little fake to. she was always talking about how much she loves her dad and her mom they always made her feel like a queen. But you let this man isolate from your mom and dad for 2 and a half years.
How did she think the interview was going to go. Silly, you gave your consent to Oprah to do the interview. I think Mo has a problem with Oprah ever since the movie Precious.because of Oprah’s power and authority and now she found a reason to be a hater. Girl you better chilax or Big O won’t send you an invite to one of her lavish parties.
Hopefully rihanna’s feeling better.
Why do people hate rihanna so much?
What excatly has she done?
If you don’t like her music don’t listen it’s very simple.
And mo’nique owes her family nothing.
I dont believe this story. I do believe he is trying to become famous off of his sister’s success and I believe that he is still sick. And Monique is right not to trust her children around that mfker!
LoL this whole thing with Rih sounds like a Desperate Public Relations stunt to get people talking about her in some way, since very few people are checking for her “Tour”….Havent seen much people covering the tour either…
I have NO Respect for Oprah.
………..@33 REDBONE……..PREACH!!!!
………Oprah did her job. Mo direct your anger toards the ppl who really caused the
………ppl the cause u pain.
………..Im sorry Rihanna is hurt…awwwwwww. But what was she doin to hurt her ribs
………I mean she stands in place most the time.
UmmmmNo it has been reported that Rihanna lost conscience because her team has her on a strict diet and by standers and others reported that Rihanna passed out. her team claim she is too big and has her on a very unhealthy diet#
——Oprah operates like the papparazzi. It’s her job to interview perps and victims.
——She’s had child molesters and rapist on her show for years. This is what she
——does. Oprah was pissed at that family…from the laughing brother to the useless
——parents. She wanted to expose them all. Everyone knew he was lying about her
——sleeping through the ordeal. I’m sure Monique has called Oprah and apologized
——for overreacting. Her emotions swole up in her all over again. These two women
——won’t lose friendship over the “Adams Family”.
My heart went out for Mo’Nique. Her family is a piece of Sh!t including her mom, brothers and father. I hope she never speaks with them again. I understand that over the years she tried to mask her pain. Now they expect for her to act normal now that she finally has the strength to stand up for herself.
Mo’Nique, don’t be upset with Oprah. I think that she did her best. I believe since the situation is so close to her situation she didn’t know how to react. Gerald even scared me on her interview. He is a true “Monster” !!!! I think even Oprah was scared. That man does not need to be in the general public.
Mo’Nique, try not to and take it personal. Your brother and family looked bad in the publics eye. You could tell they tried to hide how they really are but both of your brothers are dispicable especially the little azzhole who had the smile on his face. Your parents ought to be ashamed of themselves. The longer the interview went the more you could tell that they are scum of the earth. Two weeks later she let this monster in your presence? He was molested? and…… why hurt his little sister? He kept trying to make himself a victim. No one bought it!! I hate them for you. I hope you read this. STAY STRONG!!! Know that you are loved by your husband and children and embrace what God has given you. I wish I had the strength you have to shut them out. xoxoxoxo one of your biggest fans rooting for you!!
erm so oprah has mo’s molester on the show yet is sitting on her highh horse cussing chris brown? i just dont see the logic.
