It seems that Rihanna and Teyana Taylor caused more harm to their careers with their recent twitter feud. Following the twitter feud [which ignited ‘fighting proposals‘ and ‘death threats‘] a petition from Change.org has been launched to extract Rihanna’s ‘Mac Cosmetics’ endorsement and Teyana Taylor’s ‘Adidas‘ endorsement]. According to Change.org, Teyana crossed the line when she poked fun at Rihanna’s domestic abuse incident in 2009.
“Rihanna, this is about all the abused women of the world being MOCKED!. It is aSHAME that Adidas seems to be endorsing @TeyanaTaylor.”
“We demand that you do the right thing and terminate her contract and send a strong message to your consumers. Letting one of your sponsors mock a domestic violence discourages your female costumers from speaking out against their ABUSERS! “
Here’s a brief excerpt on Rihanna’s full length removal letter by Change.org
Rihanna has many young fans that look up to her and bullying is a HUGE problem that we are facing with the youth today. She is known for constantly bullying and picking fights with people over the internet and this is a problem that has been going on for a while now. By consistently attacking people online about their looks and reminding them how they are beneath her, she is using her platform in a very negative light and does not provide a positive image for MAC cosmetics or any of the other companies that she endorses.
She is a poor role model and promotes habitual drug use. Rihanna openly smokes marijuana and no doubt has encouraged her fans to do so as well. Due to the behavior that Rihanna is exhibiting, her fans and followers have made death threats and are also exhibiting bullying behavior.

Regardless of the outcome , I hope these two learned a valuable lesson in this serious matter.
