Rihanna Responds to Poison Ivy Casting Rumors -- Watch! (Exclusive)

ET spoke with Rihanna on the red carpet at the 5th Annual Diamond Ball benefiting the Clara Lionel Foundation in New York City, where she opened up about what it means to her to have the support of her famous friends.

[@MannysMillennialMouth]

"Interviewer: I think that says a lot about you Rihanna: I think that says a lot about them" That was such a gracious and humble response

[@ocytocine96]

And it sounded really honest

[@dfig4584]

Rihanna's interviewing skills have drastically improved over the years. Kudos to her!

Well she's been doing it for so long so 💁🏾‍♀️

[@DeeeBeee123]

Shes always been good at interviews. Tf

[@dfig4584]

@@DeeeBeee123 I get the feeling you're a devoted fan..... nonetheless, facts don't care about your feelings. Rihanna is truly talented no doubt about that however when she just started the music industry her interviewing skills weren't no where as good as they are now. A simple Google search will clarify 😉. Just because she is who she is doesn't mean she's exempt from mistakes or exempt from me stating the clear obvious.

[@dfig4584]

@@anonsmith3459 No, the definition of facts. Everyone grows and improve, no one starts out perfect this does not take away from her talents and accomplishments, you can separate the two without jumping into your feelings.

No they don’t lol if she wasn’t famous society would treat her like shit cuz she’s an overweight black woman...which is basically the lowest you can be in society’s totem pole

[@Stand-Alone-Complex]

You can tell that Rihanna has been learning a LOT in how to be not just a business woman, but a sharp one at that, because the way she evaded that first question and turned the topic around and took control over the direction of where the interviewer was heading was pretty damn good. Rihanna is being trained by powerful people.

[@angelnumber0723]

Shes so elegant 💞

Rihanna is so GROWN now. She's articulate and very much on a different league. It's no longer just about the arts. She is so much bigger. Worthy Woman.

[@denniscolins3479]

Has Rihanna stopped smoking weed!? 😐 her voice sounds smoother than ever!

[@denniscolins3479]

[@JessieR2023]

I think I like Rihanna better as a businesswoman. Idk why, but it suits her better than being an artist. She could be her own version of Anna Wintour in the fashion industry.
