Rihanna Brightens Up the Big Apple

Tending to her all-important business matters, Rihanna was looking colorful as she arrived for a business meeting in New York City on Thursday (July 30).

The “Umbrella” songstress was dropped off by a chauffeured ride for
the day’s duties, strutting past paparazzi while chewing on a red
Twizzler along the way.As previously reported by Gossip Center, recent reports from MTV
claim that Rihanna is “in shock” after ex-beau Chris Brown decided to
make an online video apology.

A friend of the singer says that Brown’s choice to make a public
apology for forgiveness of the assault that took place back in February
was selfish and hurtful. “She’s in total shock,” explained the friend.
“It was like he gave her another blow, albeit one of a different kind.”

Rihanna had been keeping the situation very private and out of the
public. “All she knows it that it’s in the news again and that’s the
one thing she didn’t want,” continued the source. “She’s been trying to
put it behind her and move on as fast as possible. They spoke earlier
last week and Chris made no mention of any public statement then.”
