Will Rihanna wise up before she kills herself? Does she need rehab immediately? Moderation is clearly not on her mind and hasn’t been for months. The singer was hospitalized overnight after Monday’s Met Gala in New York City – yes the big Vogue event to which Kim Kardashian was NOT allowed to accompany Kanye West! Rihanna herself tweeted a picture of herself hooked up to an IV and according to sources, was discharged shortly thereafter.
The singer seems to almost glorify her hard-partying, fast living ways by tweeting photos of her daily exploits in various seedy clubs. In recent weeks she has been spotted in London, Sydney, Hawaii and New York. During a May 2 trip to the Big Apple, she tweeted a raucous pic from a seedy Queens Strip club she’d frequented. Radar Online reports:
“Rihanna loves to party but this past month she’s gotten really out of control,” a source tells the new issue of Star magazine. “She’s been drinking almost everyday and talking about smoking weed a lot, too. It was crazy,” an insider told Star. “Clearly, she parties hard!”
Those close to the singer theorize that the partying is a result of loneliness.
“She’s actually a very lonely girl … she gets fed up with sitting in her hotel room, so she goes out drinking. She says she’s having fun, but it’s clear she’s acting out because she’s in a lot of emotional pain,” a source told Star. “Everyone is telling her to slow down and think about therapy, or even rehab.”
They also seem to believe part of the singer’s pain is connected to leftover feelings for ex, Chris Brown. He recently got a tattoo of girlfriend Karrueche Tran on his arm after media reports insisted that he and Rihanna were secretly hooking up.
“When Chris got the tattoo, Rihanna freaked out,” the insider told Star. “She’s been obsessed with the thought that he’s going to marry Karrueche and she’ll never be able to get back with him. She’s heartbroken and in a bad place … she’s been numbing the pain with alcohol.”
Addiction also runs in her family. In the past, Rihanna has spoken out in detail about her father, Ronald Fenty‘s crack use when she was a child growing up in Barbados. Her recent partying has had people comparing her behaviors to those of the late Whitney Houston. Those close to Rihanna are starting to fear that if she doesn’t seriously get some help, she could easily suffer a similar fate as Houston.
“Nobody wants her to end up like her father, or worse, turn out to be a tragic figure like Whitney Houston,” a source told Star. “But that’s what’s going to happen if she doesn’t take some action furious because it’s extremely rare for to save herself — fast.”
