Rihanna‘s performance at the 2023 Super Bowl contained a pregnancy announcement, a multitude of hits and some Fenty Beauty promo. According to people who wrote into the FCC with complaints, it was also outrageously sexualized.
According to The Hill, 102 people wrote to the Federal Communications Commission to complain about the “Disturbia” icon’s set during the Halftime Show.
Complaints highlighted things like “inappropriate touching and dance moves,” “perpetual air humping and glorifying being a stripper” and “genital grabbing.”
It was even referred to as “pornographic content,” according to TMZ.
