During an interview on BBC One’s The Graham Norton Show, the host flashed a photo of the 30-year-old singer walking out of a club with a glass of alcohol.
‘Did you ask permission from the club when you left holding this glass?’ he asked.
‘That might have been one I took to the club,’ replied the Ocean’s 8 star.
And the other time?
‘I took that back to the hotel that I took it from,’ she explained of her Balenciaga and Cardonnay combo while walking out of a fashion show.
After being shown several more examples of her stealing glasses of wine and bottles of alcohol from nights out, Rihanna laughed and said: ‘My mum is gonna see this.’
Tell that to the judge, RiRi.
During the interview, Rihanna chatted with her heist film co-stars and playfully shaded Helena Bonham Carter’s fashion choices.
Sitting alongside her cast members, including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson, Rihanna joked that Bonham Carter had never been invited to the annual Met Gala because of her fashion taste.
‘That's 'cause you wear dresses like that,’ the Fenty Beauty mogul said, pointing at the actress’ patterned silk dress that was earlier the butt of the joke due to it’s somewhat phallic drawings.
‘That's right, that's entirely right,’ the Alice in Wonderland star replied. ‘I’m gonna cry now.’
Who else is going to be looking out for pictures of Rihanna carrying wine glasses out of the club now?
