Rihanna Responds to Writer Who Called Her 'BAD Role Model' and 'a POISONOUS Pop Princess'

Rihanna is not keeping her cool with Liz Jones, a writer for the U.K.'s Daily Mail, who recently wrote an opinion piece labeling Rihanna 'pop's poisonous princess.'

In it, Jones explains how she met a "demure" Rihanna at a fashion industry event some years ago, and thereafter went on to criticize Rihanna's recent Instagram pics, dancing and decision to date Chris Brown despite the infamous 2009 assault.

"I wish she’d stop infecting our High Streets with her gun tattoos, her false nails and fake hair, her bogus bad-a-- shenanigans that try to portray her as ‘real’, as ‘street’, as her own person, as strong and single-minded," Jones wrote, but not before noting that Rihanna's alleged psuedo-independent image has some 30 million Twitter followers.

"Most of these ‘followers’, of course, are young girls," Jones wrote. "Those same girls, some as young as eight or nine, have been packing out her concerts at Twickenham this month as part of her sell-out UK tour… these little girls don’t realise there is anything wrong with what they are doing — they just want to copy the chart-topping star — who this year became the first singer ever to have had ten No. 1 singles in the U.S. Billboard Chart... if only she could be a better role model for young women."

Jones, reportedly in her mid-50s, then explained why she feels young women, in particular, are at risk.

"Because young women are far more impressionable than young men," she wrote. "They want to be Rihanna, have her lifestyle, her clothes, her men, her habits ... The message she’s sending to her young fans, through her explicit lyrics, vile dance moves and pictures on Twitter, is utterly toxic."

Rihanna, 25 years old, posted a most unflattering picture of Jones with the response below
"LOL!!!! My money got a bad habit of pissing people off!! If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here's a toxic tip: don't be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What's all this about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ....That **** ain't clever!!! That **** ain't journalism! That's a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!! Nobody over here acts like they're perfect! I don't pretend that I'm like you, i just live... My life!! And I don't know why y'all still act so surprised by any of it!! "Role Model" is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own ****ed up **** to work on, I'll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it's ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy! And P.S. my first American Vogue cover was in 2011...APRIL!!! #ElizabethAnnJones
