Rihanna — Launch Interview

Tabloid reporters often have a penchant for fixating on the love lives of famous women, as if that were the sole aspect of their existence worth discussing. Case in point, during the launch event for her fragrance Rogue Man in 2014, a journalist couldn’t resist posing an intrusive question to Rihanna: “What are you looking for in the next man?” With her characteristic confidence and grace, Rihanna asked the reporter to repeat the awkward question and then offered a clear response, stating, “I’m not looking for a man. Let’s start there.” This moment underscored the inappropriateness of such personal inquiries in a professional interview setting.

Professionals should never have raised such questions, emphasizing the importance of interviewers maintaining decorum and respect, even when interviewing high-profile celebrities.
