POP star Rihanna’s performance at Super Bowl LVII garnered more than 100 complaints, according to reports.
More than 113million Americans tuned in to watch the annual NFL finale on February 12.
Rihanna hit the stage at Super Bowl LVII
The star went through a medley of hits from the past decade
But some fans reportedly objected to the “overly sexualized” performance
Rihanna, 34, headlined the iconic half-time show, serenading fans with hits including B***h Better Have My Money, Where Have You Been, Only Girl, and We Found Love.
But some football fans took exception to her performance, with one reportedly labeling it “pornographic.”
During her performance of the 2009 smash hit Rude Boy, the Barbadian appeared to grab her crotch and then, as one fan put it, “smell her fingers.”
Rihanna revealed she was pregnant with her second child following the epic show.
But that didn’t stop a number of people from filing complaints over the halftime extravaganza.
According to TMZ, there were 103 total complaints made regarding Riri’s Super Bowl performance to the Federal Communications Commission.
Per TMZ, one fan wrote: “I don’t care what someone worships but children shouldn’t be exposed to pornography and as an adult I don’t wish to see it.
“Where has decency gone? How about respect for others and self?”
While another viewer from Utah allegedly wrote: “This year the halftime show was so indecent I had to turn off the TV because of the pornographic content.”
And other users pointed out the “overtly sexual dancing” of Rihanna’s backing dancers.
Rihanna didn’t make a single cent for her Super Bowl show, as per tradition for the huge event.
She took to the stage wearing a figure-hugging red flight suit.
Underneath, she revealed her baby bump in a matching top with a latex bust.
Throughout the 17-minute set, the mom of one stormed through her best-known hits – but did very little dancing.
The 103 complaints pale in comparison to Janet Jackson’s infamous wardrobe malfunction at Super Bowl XXXVIII.
Per TMZ, that 2004 incident resulted in a remarkable 540,000 complaints from an outraged public.
