Rihanna Snapchat Controversy Costs The Company Big As Stock Immediately Drops

in #rihanna7 years ago (edited)


Rihanna said we should delete Snap Chat.
I don't even have the app on my phone but I'm going to download and delete it immediately just for the culture .

Snapchat is learning an important lesson... don't mess with the # Navy.

 She wrote on her Instagram story: “I’d love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain’t that dumb! You spent money to animate something that would intentionally being shame to [domestic violence] victims and made a joke of it!!! 


 “This isn’t about my personal feelings, cause I don’t have much of them… but all the women, children and men that have been victims of [domestic violence] in the past and especially the ones who haven’t made it out yet… you let us down!

“Shame on you. Throw the whole app-oligy away.” “This advertisement is disgusting and never should have appeared on our service.“We are so sorry we made the terrible mistake of allowing it through our review process.

“We are investigating how that happened so that we can make sure it never happens again.”Unfortunately for Snapchat, when Rihanna tells her millions of fans around the whole to “throw the whole app-oligy away”, people take notice… 

Here are some Rihanna fan comments that caused the Snapchat stock price avalanche:-
