NewsJuly, 3 Rita Ora tells how Beyonce was her 'protector' during cheating rumour scandal
Rita Ora has told how Beyonce came to her defence during a difficult time. When Beyonce released her album Lemonade in 2016, the public speculated about the true identity of "Becky with the good hair," in the song Sorry, who was the woman at the centre of the Jay Z cheating rumours. In an interview with Davina McCall, Rita said that she'd been "affected worse" by other things over the course of her life. "Because it wasn't real," Rita, 34, said, before joking, "I wish I had good hair." She added, "None of that was real. That was the first time I experienced what it means to be in a messy situation, I guess." She told that in private, "behind closed doors," Beyoncé was her "fairy godmother." "She was my protector. That's what's insane because there was nothing but love," she said. "And, you know, again, being signed to Jay-Z, her husband, she being my biggest inspiration, she came to my first show in New York at The Box," she recalled. When the gossip started, Rita was "so confused" as to why she was being associated with the speculation. "I was like, 'Why is this happening to me?' What have I done?'" She decided to put the rumours to bed by taking a selfie with Beyoncé at the Met Gala in 2016. "Then it was gone," she said. "Because there was never anything there in the first place." Rita has been married to filmmaker Taika Waititi since 2022.
