Did Rihanna Leave The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show For Jourdan Dunn?

Did Rihanna Leave The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show For Jourdan Dunn?

Did Rihanna leave the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show to make a point? News broke earlier this week that Rihanna, slated to perform in this year’s annual Holiday season runway walk, had backed out of the show and been replaced with baby-voiced pop singer Ellie Goulding.

Original reports claimed that the Bajan superstar cancelled her performance because didn’t feel that the latest material she had cranked out for her upcoming album, ‘Anti,’ was on point for a performance. According to Page Six:

“She’s still working on some stuff and [the music] isn’t to a point where she wants to perform it. Things are supposed to be further along, but she’s still not ready,” a source told us.

But another insider said that wasn’t why she canceled. “She does have something to perform. But the album isn’t finished yet, and finishing it is the priority,” this source said. “She couldn’t take the time to rehearse and perform and finish the album. It just all didn’t come together.”

But really, she could get up there and perform BBHMM and everyone would be happy. So why quit?

The same day Rih announced that she was out, model chick Jourdan Dunn tweeted — then QUICKLY deleted — how happy she was to be done with the bull-isht…especially now that her homegirl Rih wasn’t in the show anymore:

Mind you, just a few days before Rih backed out of the show, Jourdan Dunn was quietly ushered off this year’s VS runway…just as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid were brought on with big fanfare. Naturally, rumor has it that Jourdan was pushed off the program to make room for the fashion world’s two new lily white model obsessions.

Since Rihanna and Jourdan are buddies, many are speculating that Rihanna backed out of the show to support her friend after VS did her dirty.

Everything kind of falls into place to support that theory…but it could all be a big coincidence. What do you think? Did Rihanna really jump ship for Jourdan?
