Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty, 61, who has battled addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine for years, had an exclusive interview with UK Daily Mail this past Tuesday in Beverly Hills shortly before he traveled to Bardados. It was a long interview but below are a few juicy things he said;
- Rihanna
put him through a $58,000 Malibu rehab program last year to save him
from jail after he was arrested during a previous visit to California
- She flies him to LA every three months for urine tests and has the mini-bar emptied before he arrives
- He was thrown out of her charity ball this week after getting drunk
- She has frozen out Chris Brown and ignored him at their last meeting
- He dislikes Rihanna’s best pal and constant companion Melissa Forde
- She is still single and unable to find a man
- She is not pregnant. Read his quotes after the cut...
About being kicked out of the Rihanna's ball by her mother (above) for being drunk and misbehaving
'I had Johnny Walker Black. I had two doubles man and tripped over a chair. I
had been on the [red] carpet for the pictures, I meet a couple of
famous people I knew go and talked with them, and then somebody left a
chair and I stepped back and fell over, I saw my ex (Monica) look up,
and within a few minutes after the picture was taken, security came up
and said "we’re taking you home". I said "but I haven’t seen my daughter yet"… and they said "don’t matter man".'They said "please do not make a scene it will reflect on your daughter. When I got back I picked up a bottle of Johnny Walker Black, had a couple and went to sleep.'
When Daily
Mail Online spoke to Ronald on Tuesday he was preparing to head back to
Barbados without having seen his daughter on this trip.
He
said: 'I’m sad how it ended of course, I should have never taken that
first drink or any drink for that matter. I wish I had seen her of
course. She
will probably hear how I was and how I had a few drinks, so I guess she
would be angry with me. I think she is, I’m not sure, we haven’t spoken
just yet.'
Asked
what possessed him to drink at the event, Ronald claimed he was
depressed that his two older children from a previous relationship –
Rihanna’s half brother and sister Jamie and Samantha - weren’t invited.
He
said: 'That day of the event I was really down. My other son and
daughter in Barbados, Samantha and Jamie, were not invited and they were
on my case about it and making me feel bad and guilty. Cousins and
everybody on the other side was invited but why wasn’t Jamie and
Samantha there? It wasn’t the first time either. I got really down and
depressed and that was basically why I started drinking that day.'
His relationship with Rihanna has often been rocky. Six years ago Ronald was sent home from her North American tour as punishment for drunken behaviour on her tour bus. Rihanna then froze her dad out for two years before they reconciled.
Ronald told how his problems with booze came to a head last November and Rihanna secretly put him in rehab.
"I said
'sweetheart all I need is my change back, and I was getting loud, I see
her hold up her hand and her management [came over] and then the police,
took me. Me and my big mouth again. Next morning I went to a magistrate and he said 30 days in prison or 30 days in rehab which do you want? and I said ‘rehab’.'
While I was in rehab, she came to visit and we talked. She asked me if it was hard. She was happy to see me, said she was very proud of me at the time. She sent bags of stuff for me, tracksuits, warm jackets and shampoo, an extra pair of shoes and slippers – some nice stuff.'
After
checking out Ronald returned to Barbados but he has flown back to LA for
urine tests every three months. When he comes Rihanna has the mini-bar
in his room emptied of alcohol. He has also been attending alcoholics
anonymous in Barbados.
Ronald
says he feels terrible for breaking his promise to his daughter but
when asked if he’s an alcoholic, he says: 'Me, no, drunk and disorderly.
I don’t see myself as an alcoholic, I don’t realise when I get that
drunk.
'Call me a drunk or alcoholic in denial, whatever you want to call me but I have realised I could drink or not drink.
'I only start[ed] drinking, once I come back here in December.'
However
he apologized to Rihanna: 'I feel bad because I let her down because
she spend all that money putting me in rehab, [and] then find me drunk
somewhere. It is not good. 'What can I say but I’m sorry. It’s me who f**ed up.'
One thing that annoys him is some of the large entourage of so-called friends she surrounds herself with.
He
recalled a shopping trip in London with Rihanna and a group of friends
where he watched them all buy stuff for themselves with her money.
He
said: 'What’s the name of that place, that very expensive place,
Harrods. We going in there and I just see her friends, stocking up on
shoes like crazy. Parasites - whatever you want to call them - that need
to go and have their own life.'
Ronald
doesn’t like Rihanna’s best friend Melissa Forde who grew up with her
in Barbados and seems to constantly be by her side as she travels the
world.
He said: 'If it was me she would have to go, if I had anything to do with it she would have to go.
'She’s the one who goes shopping and everything.
'I
think Melissa should be old enough to be able to stand on her own two
feet, of course come and visit her like the rest of her friends but she
doesn’t need to be there all the time.
'Monica
says "but she helps Robyn pack her bags", I said "Melissa don’t pack no
bags sweetheart, I know that, so don’t give me that. I’ve been in the
house. I said that’s a joke.'
Ronald has long forgiven Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown for assaulting her and openly admits he still has a big soft spot for him.
However he thinks his daughter may have washed her hands with him for good.
Revealing
how Rihanna coldly blanked Chris when they were at a charity basketball
game in August, he said: 'I don’t know what their relationship is now.
At the basketball, they just said "hi and hello".
'When
we was going to the car park he was trying to talk with her but she
turned and was talking to somebody else, so he came and talked to me and
I had a picture with him. Afterwards Robyn said, "dad you really taking
pictures with he though?"(sic).'
Although he has said in the past he would be happy for them to get back together, Ronald isn’t so sure now.
He said:
'Let her do what she wants to do. This recycling thing don’t work for
everything, people don’t ask me if I could go back with Ms Fenty.
'Chris is a player, he ain’t ready for no one women yet, he ain't ready. He’s a party guy.
"When
I see in the papers he’s in trouble, I think "Chris what the hell are
you doing man?" The guy has got so much talent you know what I mean, to
just screw up like that.
'He can draw, he can do anything, man you give it to Chris he can do it great. He’s so talented.'
Ronald
confirms Rihanna is still single despite being linked with the likes of
Chris Martin, Justin Bieber and even Eminem in the past few months.
Her last relationship was with Drake but it fizzled out in June this year.
He
said: 'She says "dad can you believe I don’t have a man?" A beautiful
woman like that don’t have a man, no I don’t believe it.
'She
needs to find the right man who’s compatible. She may be looking in the
wrong direction, they don’t have to be in the entertainment business
but that’s the people she’s meeting.'
Last week US gossip outlets were awash
with rumours Rihanna was pregnant. Shooting down the rumour, Ronald
laughs: 'No she's not pregnant, but I want someone to start giving me
grandchildren! Of course I want to be a grandfather.

Amakadarlyn@yahoo.com
Interesting. I don't like the Melissa girl either but its not like my opinion counts. I think like anyone else, some of this ''big stars'' get lonely and they have trust issues so they'll rather hang with the devil they know than angels they don't. I hear how people say they are addicted to this and addicted to that but I don't get it, how hard is it not to do something!
Linda! Linda!! Linda!!!

WOW, I guess we all have our issues and Rihanna's dad is one of her 99 problems, the other is her inability to find a man, which I think is a lie, cos Riri is sooooo HOT!
I feel very sorry for the man though
@KingV

Good for them.

He wants grandchildren like he will be there for them. Was he there for Rihanna? Nonsense.

Hahahahahahaa very funny write up.
She has issues with men bc of the effed up father she got. The man who should protect her most sells her out to the highest bidder. With a father like him, she doesn't need enemies.
Cool!
Awww! Linda, the Minecraft guy outbid JayZ and i. He got the house for 70million. I really wanted that mansion for blue
Rihanna really loves his dad. she doesn't want him to spoil her name... but the man no send.

Rihanna is really troubled with the way her father is drinking and seeing into her affairs as well. So she was not truly pregnant for that billionair man, Father, daughter tin.
