Rihanna has spoken out about the girls who criticise her for being “overly sexy”.

“People think I’m overly sexy,” she said. “It bothers them for some reason. Girls don’t like to see other girls dressed sexy. It’s a little intimidating, I don’t mean that in a cocky way.”

“There’s always going to be somebody not liking what you do.”

“People have a lot of crazy opinions on things. Things I say, things I wear, places I go. It’s just stupid. It’s bulls**t. I’m a 22-year-old human being. It’s fine for me to go to a club.”

“People are hypocrites. They can’t wait to say something horrible. Most of them are unhappy with themselves. It’s women who are mad at other women. They should take a look at their own lives. A lot of people don’t have the guts to confront themselves. They don’t have the b***s.”

“Public figures can become annoying,” she said. “They see me a lot and every time they see me my a** is out or my boobs are out, so it can get a little irritating. I get that. But I have to do what makes me happy, what I feel like doing.”
