's halftime performance at Super Bowl LVII caused a ton of outrage for folks watching on TV ... they flooded the FCC with complaints, saying her set was too big on sex.
The overall takeaway from the folks who felt compelled to complain about Rihanna to the feds ... the lyrics and choreography were way too sexualized, with some viewers even comparing it to porn.
Haters with all the stuff they show on TV these days that you don't want the kids to see they need to quit Period.
It is crazy for a pregnant woman on that level, too dangerous for the mother and baby
Oh Please!!!! It was Music!!! Turn it OFF if you are offended!
Never saw No sex what's so ever!!! Gotta go to prom hub for that!!!! Some sick people out there... really sick 🤢
OMG, move on already....they could have changed the channel. No one forced any of them to watch😵😵🫨🫨
103 complaints with 119 million viewers?… Hold my beer- Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Hold my brewery and distribution center - Janet Jackson.
Sensationalism at its finest. Do better TMZ, Do better...
100 complaints out of over 100 million watching is not a ton of complaints
Butttt I thought 💭 🤔 y’all said this was the best performance ever … annnddd she’s pregnant so I’m confused 😐!!! jesusFIXIT
You can't win with your clothes off, and you can't win with your clothes being fully on with no skin showing. SMH,
Karemericans should really do their homework before they karen. She is a sex symbol, she has a lingerie line, she’s sexy af with whole hot ass man. Try f&ckin like she does. I’d pat & sniff too 😉
Some people forget that Harvey Levin is a Republican and a Trump supporter. So of course 103 complaints out of How Many millions (?) as Tons. Rhianna RhiannaFcc SuperBowlHalftimeShow
I guess we need to bring back Carol Channing.
Well they wanted sport in the first place
More like to big on satanism..
She just sucked period.
And y’all worried about 103?
Wow! 103 complaints when over 118 million people watched the half time show. 🤣 this is not worth the story.
Fully clothed, come on, no way!
Disagreed! It just sucked!
100/100,000,000 is not a flood.
Let’s get this straight… Rihanna FULLY clothed and pregnant, had an overly sexual performance? But Jennifer Lopez flashing her privates in the camera & sliding down a pole wasn’t? Rihanna had a beautiful performance and absolutely was not inappropriate. Spread love not hate💌
she was literally covered fr head to toe and don’t the pro lifers love that she’s carrying to term LOL
Have they never heard of Rihanna?
She was in a one sized and having fun she didn't perform sex with me and yet they mad lol
How fuckin lame do you have to be to file a FCC compliant
There’s no way they were watching the same half time show no way
It was awefull..
Next time have the all the ones complaining do a halftime show. Some folks didn't even know who she was🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Lol what?
Did they also call abt the amount of violence they were watching 🤔
First show I knew all the songs and all the words
The Super Bowl has a long history of maligning black female headliners. Janet, Beyoncé and now Rihanna. Other performances outside those three have been far more salacious and no one complained about it.
Prudes
I thought “those” people weren’t watching football anymore. 🤷♀️
who the fuck
Those are the racists/religious radicals that already had their hands on the bottom the moment they heard she was performing.She wasn’t turnt up cuz she’s pregnant but they decided to go ahead with the complaint anyway. Haha 🤡s
That was one of the least sex filled performance on national tv in decades; knock it off 😂😂😂 paaallleeesse simma down now
I worked in the FCC mailroom. We use to receive those written complaints all the time. Know where they went?
😭
I liked it.
People tuned in just to watch the half-time show, so during the halftime show, the ratings went up and down after rihanna, is that B
that's only 0.000087% of 118.7M who watched the show but ok
Who are the losers who dial in to the FCC?
103 people need to get a effing life for gods sake 🙄
I did not enjoy this halftime show at all! Last year was bangin' and this year...Rihanna..? Really? C'mon do better!!!
If you’re boring just say that
I wonder do people care how they sound when they say these things.
Haters
Bffr. 103 hos? Next caller
First they complained that her performance was boring, now this?
Why because she sang pour it up. Lol people are soooooo sensitive.
Just another pig...
Where? Did they miss the last 12 years worth of Super Bowl halftime shows?
Just turn it off if you don't like it, quit crying over petty sh*t
They all can stfu 🤬
Um what? Are you kidding?
She barely moved 😂 whoever actually wrote a complaint to the fcc is the biggest dork alive
Flooded. Haha
It was horrible!
Sniffing her finger was so grotesque.
Wahhhhhh nothing but snowflakes in this world, grow some balls clowns
It’s the same group that thought it was “woke” they’re just mad to see a black person.
Being too boring I'd say, but ok
In comparison the J.Lo and Shakira halftime show in 2020 got 1300 FCC complaints. Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's performance in 2004 got 540,000.
Queen
Bring back Bruno Mars !!
It was vulgar and against lords will
People need to loosen up and stop bitching over the dumbest things. Don’t like it , change the channel. 🙄🙄🙄
NFL cheerleader performances are way more sexual than Rihanna's halftime performance.
Lol there’s always someone complaining. Wasn’t Jlo on pole half naked? 🤣🤣
They’re all always sexual. Music is sexual today. Sex sells. What do you expect?
I bet these are republicansand MAGA people
It was amazing halftime show. Why when we do it, it's a problem. Amazing
Yeah and JLO and Shakira throwing their kitty around on the stage was appropriate
Damn, so much sex in that set she got pregnant at the end. 🤣🤣😭😭
White Folks
Did we watch the same show?
These artist should be more conscious of their audience..especially artist that are in parenthood
Sex ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But how tho
“Too sexual” What was too sexual about it? And 103 out of the 119m “ caused a ton of outrage”💀y’all Must have been bored and came up with this sh*t
100 complaints isn’t considered a TON! Shame on U for the hyperbole!!!
That just goes to show you that you cannot please people. No matter what there’s going to be some complaints. Because how a pregnant woman who barely moved on stage was too sexual is 🤯🤯🤯 Maybe those 103 ppl weren’t familiar with Rihanna’s music so her lyrics were “too sexual”
103 people outta 119m viewers and it’s a “ ton of outrage”? Slow news day tmz
Oh please. If it had been the Rihanna of 10 years ago performing there would have been over 100K complaints so this is nothing! 😂
Crap show! 💩
Boring yes,Sex no.
Really! Apparently they don't watch the Grammys lol
'folks' - old ass republicans.
They got a win against Janet Jackson. They tried against Miley Cyrus at the MTV Music Video Awards. None of these people watched the half time show.
'Flooded the FCC...'? Cut the crap TMZ. Who wrote this article? 'Flooded' is the 500,000 FCC complaints Adam Levine got when he did his halftime show. Must of been a slow news day, huh?
I fell asleep two minutes in. Boring show.
no it wasn't it was just mediocre
Wow, but who is complaining about the Commericals? Or the music played on Radio Stations? Let me guess they have filled the lawsuit paperwork and are ready to fight to get paid for the 13 minutes as well!! TLC shows more sex than Rhianna did! Lord!
Literally everyone was covered head to toe
Really, I just thought it was a little repetitive...hate to say it but boring.
Lol people have nothing better to do. Every year it’s the same bs, get over it already it’s done .
And I bet they’re all Karen’s 🙄
Too big on sex? More like too big on snooze…
PUKE IT WAS TRASH
All from the group that calls everyone else snowflakes lmao
To all the complainers Present and future. THEN DONT WATCH…. TURN THE CHANNEL. You are free to do so.
Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Personally I don't give a fk, but yeah there were people fucking the air and dancing wild so if you're religious you probably object... and Rihanna's people might refer to the 75% out of wedlock birthrate of kids that feeds the prison system due to poor parenting.
It's what was expected !!!! She has always been tacky and tasteless and she showed just how much !!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
you overlook Sam Smith's traumatizing satanic performance but complain about Rhi? Seems selective...
They literally put as much clothing on the backup dancers as they could get away with.
🤷🏾♂️
😅😂🤣 they didn’t know who rihanna is!
They missed her triangle pyramid at the end signaling her allegiance to the beast system
Is this some kind of joke 😂 there was not one thing sexual about this performance, good God 🙄🙄 people stop being so sensitive it’s getting to be REALLY F**KING annoying you don’t like it turn your damn TV OFF!! 🤬🤬
She showed too much skin. Definitely should have covered her neck too 🙄.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
What Sex where? What is happening? I know.we.all saw it where was the sex
What? Most people I know thought it wasn’t sexy enough
It was not overtly sexual just boring
Where do they think the Earth’s population of 7.8 billion comes from?
The finger sniff was a bit much
Did I miss something? It was pretty tame if you ask me.
A whole 103? Seems mild compared to the number of viewers. There are ppl in this country who can't show an elbow or ankle. Anything they see will be 'big on sex'
If a woke celebrity didn’t dvda on stage in front of people at a family friendly event… it’d be less surprising than a fat person farting.
103 racist is not a flood of complaints
PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AN ITS SAD SPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK PERFORMERS. I MEAN THE GRABBING HERSELF I CAN SEE BUT THE DANCING WASN'T THAT BAD.
I guess I missed that aspect.
Big puffy coats and that was too sexy but what do you expect from people who require dresses up to the chin and down to the ankle.
we back baby
I wouldn't call .00000092 percent of the audience a flood of complaints.
103 people but 118m people watched it that seems low like be serious
People just want something to bitch about 🤣🤣
What show were they watching? I was watching a pregnant lady rihanna do here thang for being pregnant. 103 people lmao 🤣
I watched that show. People are just making stuff up. I saw a pregnant artist in a red designer jumpsuit giving a rather tame performance. BlackWhilePerformingSuperbowlHalftimeShow
Rihanna was awesome! It was pretty tame.
Who are these people? What did they expect?
Rihanna was really good.
The hate be so real lmao
The kids see much much worse on their phones and social media 🤦🏼♂️
Ylei ton ni 103? Dou magacici
What do they want? Marching bands and no dancing?
they were worried about that and not the signs of illuminate unreal
112M viewers…If you do the math a whooping 0.00000092% of viewers complained.
This is ridiculous. The only think that halftime show was guilty of was being boring as hell.
I'm willing to bet all 103 are white Karen's or kens & republikkkans.
TMZLeaveBRITNEYAlone
Which people?
Have they seen socialmedia 🤷🏾♂️😂
Prudes are outta control
Aaaaaand muting
For everyone being fully clothed and nobody touching, that's kinda difficult. It's like we're back talking about Elvis hip swivels.
Derp
they do that every year i thought that was the point of the super bowl
What’s to be upset about? It was pretty dull, in my view.
Those 103 people can turn of the TV if they’re so easily offended
Oh, please.
I thought they were supposed to be sheep
influencer article for conservative bashing 🥱
Hypocrisy at its ugliest. These are same ppl who call themselves “Christians “ but are openly racist, wants cuts in gov programs that help the poor, etc- Followers of Christ. Yea right.
Grown adults complaining about something being too sexy? They must be unhappy in their marriages or just not getting any at all lol. Imagine calling the FCC over your own insecurities?
They do this every time a woman performs.
Typical snowflakes
Do conservatives enjoy ANYTHING?
The non Boob showing half time was too sexual?!!! We’ve had so many overly sexual half time shows BUt this was not one of them! What the heck!
The were watching it in black and white and thought she was naked.
Compared to some of her shoes lol
Ridiculous
When did the Victorian era come back?
It was all bad.
Lol what? These people really really need to touch grass or get laid.
103 ppl out of the millions that watch it?! Why are we giving this a time or day.
Nonsense
They real real real mad at a black female billionaire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣 103
Cry white people
Imo it was boring AF.
103 complaints out if the 100 million who watched. 😆.
I thought it wasn't sexual enough.
And what about Jlo on a stripper pole? Wasn't that a bit much?
Janet Jackson has entered the chat
The fact the people went out of their way to file a compliant……get a fookin life!
tmz Do they mean also the show that had J Lo on a pole dancing for the Halftime show, they think Rihanna just dancing is too big on sex? Um nope. They had too big a problem with a glowing Rihanna. Let her shine. Please.
I'm 70 yrs old and I thought it was pretty tame.
Shoulda just come out holding an ar-15
Oh Karen and Ken calm down she tapped her hiney two times.
How? Everyone was covered? This performance was VERY tame & conservative.
Rihanna to them
Same people that have no issue with a lot worse on prime time tv
Some people have nothing better to do with their time!! Grow up, if you didn’t like it you should have been watching the Puppy bowl or little house on the prairie!!
America 🙄
But they was ok with crip walking and throwing up gang signs last year smh 🤦🏾♂️ empower gangs over letting women be sexy fully clothed lol
'One viewer bitched' did you guys hire a bunch of unprofessional hoodrat teens after the summer of love? Who finds a pregnant woman sniffing her own crotch 'sexy' strange tagline.
Uhhh did we all watch the same show…. A covered up lady and dancers…. Okkkk
You gotta be kidding me! RiRI was fully clothed and barely dancing. The choreography by the dancers was not over the top at all.
Probably the same folks who are supposed to be boycotting the NFL over kneeling
They lost their mind lol 😂
Compared to other performers, she wasn’t big on sex. Janet Jackson was more sexual.
Yawn…..
How are people gonna complain about the Rhianna show? I mean, Really Its not like her (o) popped out like Janet Jackson lol.. Thats some weak as$ sht to complain about!
It was not good
103 complaints is flooded? An episode of Family Guy once got nearly 200K complaints in 2009.
It’s funny that adult viewers are saying that Rihanna is too sexy for television. However, it’s your kids that are TikToking and an Instagraming and watching all this YouTubeing learning these dance moves and some of your kids are teaching YOU those moves. So get off of rihanna!
“A ton” of complaints, really? Isn’t that literally .000001% of viewers and you’re calling that a ton?
Sex where? She barely moved!
It was just terrible
103 complaints from 113 billion viewers is not even drop in the bucket.
Did they miss J Lo and Shakira?
It was extremely tame for a riri set though 🫠
No it wasn’t
Whoever complained…I wonder what they ALL had in common 🤡
Qwhite apparent...
Oh please! Everyone knows It was all those trifling, hypocritical, maga, deplorable’s, filing complaints, the show is over, move on! Damn
That’s hilarious 😂
What? That was the most boring mom sexual performance everr
No it wasn’t !!! Rhianna was amazing Rhianna SuperBowlLVII lit
I honestly didn’t see ANYONE having sex in it
How. She was fully covered & barely moved on stage…..
103 is rookie numbers
I sure they were all bible thumping conservatives
Oh brother…
TMZ get a life and take the complaints with you
Hilarious.
girl be for real
Put this on QV Channel for everyone
I called not cause of the sex but cause of the lack of a performance . It was boring
TMZleaveBritneyAlone TMZisTrash
If people don’t like it, don’t watch it. Simple
Those viewers, apparently ITYSL_memes
this performance was so fucking tame god forbid she sniff her fingers like what
I wouldn’t say 103 complaints is flooding lol especially given the fact the viewership during halftime was 118 million?
Disgusting
'A ton of outrage' 103 people out of millions upon millions is not a ton lol
Imagine if she wasn’t pregnant. Y’all had it light 🤣
They were fully clothed from head to toe
Bunch of sensitive pansy asses. People like that is what's wrong with our society.
She’s black and killed the performance that’s why they mad…. She did her thing
HARD reach
Conservatives really need to leave this country already..they hate everything and everyone that’s unless u buy into there BS..
I am glad I had no interest in watching it - the 'Sex Stuff' is Boring and sometimes Embarrassing.
Next year they’ll have Kid Rock lead a tribute to Lee Greenwood
What?
Wait what? Nothing about the set was sexual
112 millions viewers. 103 complaints. Really, people? Next…
I’m guessing the people complaining didn’t even watch it…. 🤷🏻♂️
america is hilarious, we don't get mad when there is a shootout every day but when a artist gets a bit sexual , all hell breaks loose. While countries like spain or France show nudity on tv like a normal thing
Not sure what was exactly to big on her show, but she sucked big time
What? I literally said wow this halftime was the most tame I've seen in a while. I thought all the prudes would be happy.
Why? Who gives a shit? Get out and live life a little.
Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson would like a word.
These Karen’s have no idea how hard she could have gone if this weren’t the SB
Am I missing something... Tf where. How?
People need to have sex more! Why are folks scared of sex!! What timeline did we screw up to get here! 😵💫😵💫
That’s funny because I thought Rihanna was too conservative.
Yeah, we all could have done without the gross scratch and sniff. The halftime show seems to get worse every year.
i strongly disagree. i watched some of her preformance for the super bowl. and i think it was woman empowerment! i think she is a very talented woman.
Yall voted for this
Do people not have lives? Good lord!
Have they all recovered from the aneurysms they suffered watching the Shakira/J-Lo halftime show from 3 years ago?
Just trying to stir the pot
Lol
Common Utah, relax
Not surprised
Janet Jackson says what?
