People who bought bras and underwear from Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty label were allegedly enrolled in a recurring monthly fee program without their knowledge, according to a lawsuit from the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office.

Pop star Rihanna is still on a musical hiatus (she’s teased on Instagram that a new album has been completed, though that was a couple years ago). Yet she’s had plenty of other pursuits: she had a baby in May, she had a fashion label called Fenty that lasted a couple years, still has a cosmetics brand called Fenty Beauty, and a lingerie brand called Savage X Fenty.

But there may be some unmentionables and dirty laundry now associated with the lingerie brand. The Bay Area News Group reports that the Santa County District Attorney’s office has joined a fraud lawsuit against Savage X Fenty, alleging that customers were signed up for a monthly VIP membership surcharge without their knowledge, and were charged the monthly fee over and over without knowing it.

The lawsuit stems from practices on Savage X Fenty’s website. So while Santa Clara County did have a pop-up Savage X Fenty store in the Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall back in 2019, this lawsuit appears unrelated to that temporary retail storefront. The lawsuit argues that online shoppers were shown a “VIP” price, and if they took that deal, they signed up for a recurring monthly fee without realizing this.

According to the lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, “When consumers purchased [Savage X Fenty’s] products on its website, [the company] automatically added an auto-recurring paid VIP membership to consumers’ shopping bags, resulting in consumers’ credit cards being repeatedly charged.”

The lawsuit itself is not new, and was originally filed in 2020. As CNBC reported at the time, it was started by a consumer watchdog group. “CNBC reviewed the [Savage Fenty X] site and found that prices for items defaulted to ‘VIP’ pricing, without giving the option to purchase for a ‘regular’ price," that network reported. "When navigating to the shopping bag, if an item had been added, a ‘Savage X Monthly Membership’ was also added automatically, without changing the pricing. The only way of knowing that membership would result in more charges is by clicking a small ‘Learn More’ button that explains it would incur a $49.95 monthly charge, or by reading a description to the right of the checkout options.”

There are five California counties named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, and Santa Cruz County is another one of them. The lawsuit comes after more stringent regulations regarding the practice of automatic subscription charges in e-commerce took effect in California in July. Savage Fenty X is being asked to return any membership overcharges, and could be forced to pay $2,500 for each individual violation of the California Business and Professions Code.

Game one of the 2017 NBA Finals was supposed to be yet another rematch between the Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry and Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James, but it ended up being a showdown between the Warriors' Kevin Durant and... Rihanna?

The singer-fashion entrepreneur is a devoted fan of King James, so she was very invested in the game:

The Warriors won, 113-91, and during the post-game press conference, Durant, who had 38 points, fielded questions about RiRi:

Rihanna was also popular with Warriors fans:

Jeff Van Gundy was mesmerized by the celebrity:

Rihanna knows this is a marathon, not a sprint:

And, yes, Pat Monahan of Train sang the National Anthem:

Game two is Sunday, June 2 at 5 p.m. PST.

Those who admire Rihanna's fiercely independent attitude and music — while harboring understandable disdain for the delusional Rachel Dolezal mostly self-serving appropriation of blackness — found themselves locked in a deep internal struggle today. As many caught wind of on Twitter, Vanity Fair profiled the 27-year-old singer (not pictured: baller photos by Annie Leibovitz) which included a defense of Dolezal.

Here's what could be called the "money quote," in that it's driving clicks and conversations.

“I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit. Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up.”

Speaking of woke: That is a thing which Rihanna is apparently not. At best, and very hypothetically here, Dolezal drew attention to the ways a white-dominated culture writ large borrows — when convenient — wholesale elements and identities from black culture. But that's not even an argument Rihanna seems to be making so I'm definitely not going to voice it further.

Look though, this is Rihanna. We should know her well enough. She's gonna say some shit, like this very, truly sad, self-deprecating business about her abusive former boyfriend Chris Brown, also from the interview.

“I was that girl,” she says, “that girl who felt that as much pain as this relationship is, maybe some people are built stronger than others. Maybe I’m one of those people built to handle shit like this... I don’t hate him. I will care about him until the day I die."

Ri Ri noooo.

Rihanna may have been a little too rude during Game One of the NBA Finals when she sat next to Warriors owner Joe Lacob but still cheered on Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James.

"She bought seats, paid a lot of money for them, and she can root for whoever she wants, right?" Lacob told CBS 5. "But I thought I would be a nice guy and I took my two kids, who get to go to a lot of games and booted them down to the end of the court and moved her next to me, and said, ‘hey, sit next to the owner.’" Sounds like he just wanted to sit next to RiRi, and not his kids.

“I thought I was being friendly," he continued. "She was rooting for LeBron the whole game so finally I was getting irritated and I said, ‘I’m the owner of the Warriors.’ She didn’t care, she just kept going. So finally I said that’s it, and I moved a couple seats down. Everyone has it that I moved my fiancée next to her because she got upset that I was sitting next to Rihanna which is not true.”

Regardless, this story has a moral. Don't prioritize Rihanna over your kids.

Apple is having a Benghazi moment. Months before perverts worldwide celebrated the leak of nude pics of numerous noted celebrities, Apple was told that such a thing could happen —by the same security researcher who exposed security flaws in Apple's Developer Center last year.

The Daily Dot has the scoop that Apple was told iCloud had specific security problems as early as March 2014.

And just like last year, when Ibrahim Balic had to take his findings to social media in order to compel Apple into taking action, the Cupertino tech giant appears to have sat on its hands.

Balic told Apple on March 26 that he'd figured out a way to get around defenses designed to stop "brute-force" attacks, where a hacker tries to crack a password by simply trying every password combination there is. These attacks usually fail because log-ins are disabled after a few tries, but, as Balic told Apple, he found a way to try "over 20,000 passwords on any account."

Balic emailed Apple directly to tell them the news and also via Apple's online platform for reporting bugs, all to no avail. According to e-mails shared with the Dot, one Apple product security staffer was not satisfied that the brute-force attack would work and asked Balic for other methods to access accounts "in a reasonably short amount of time."

"They kept asking me to show them more stuff," Balic told the Dot.

It's important to note that the flaw Balic found is not necessarily the one used to find Kate Upton and Justin Verlander in their intimate moments. For that matter, it's still not entirely certain how Celebgate, which the crass among us call "The Fappening," went down.

Initial reports on The Next Web suggested that a malicious line of script uploaded to GitHub allowed hackers to access iCloud accounts, but after fixing that breach, Apple denied that it was the hole exploited by the celebrity nude-hunters.

Meanwhile, another batch of pictures stolen from Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, and others hit the Internet over the weekend. Celebgate may not be over — and the leak that helped it happen may not be fixed, either.

Apple declined to comment on Balic's findings, The Daily Dot reported.
