After the pop star was spotted wearing a full-length real fur coat while out to dinner this week, PETA decided to give her a faux fur coat.
According to TMZ, the animal rights group contacted Rihanna to request that she refrain from wearing real fur coats.
In a letter obtained by TMZ, PETA’s senior vice president told Rihanna: “As a mother, you know what it’s like to feel protective and to want to make sure no harm comes to your family. Please understand that this desire – this instinct even – is shared by the minks, foxes, and rabbits who are torn away from their families and killed for their fur.”
The letter concluded, “Won’t you please help create a kinder world for your children to grow up in by deciding today that you’ll no longer wear fur?”
In order to assist the singer “stay warm and fashionable while making the cruelty-free switch,” PETA is currently sending Rihanna a faux fur coat from Unreal Fur.
In an interview with Vogue earlier this month, Rihanna discussed her upcoming ninth studio album and said she hoped it will be released this year. The album will be Riri’s first full-length release since 2016’s Anti when it is released.
“Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year,” she shared. “But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.”
Rihanna added, “And I need the right background music with the visuals. I can’t just go shoot a video to me talking.”
