Rihanna says young girls can be vulnerable and naive
Rihanna has been accused of showing a 'cold, calculated execution of murder' in her latest music video.
The singer, who was assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009, is seen shooting a man who 'rapes' her in the Man Down music clip.�
'Rihanna's personal story and status as a celebrity superstar provided a golden opportunity for the singer to send an important message to female victims of rape and domestic violence,' says the Parents Television Council in a statement.
'Instead of telling victims they should seek help, Rihanna released a music video that gives retaliation in the form of premeditated murder the imprimatur of acceptability.'
But Rihanna, 23, has been quick to defend the hard-hitting video to her 5m plus followers on Twitter.
'Young girls/women all over the world...we are a lot of things! We're strong innocent fun flirtatious vulnerable, and sometimes our innocence can cause us to be na�ve!' she's Tweeted.
'We always think it could NEVER be us, but in reality, it can happen to ANY of us! So ladies be careful and #listentoyomama! I love you and I care!'
The singer has also re-Tweeted some of her fans' comments.
'You opened the eyes of all women living under a dark cloud that needed a voice. Man Down is the voice. I love you,' comments one follower.
Another says: 'Man down video's message is so powerful that it made critics mad. lol keep doing your thing Riri! You're inspiring people!'
