Oldest Excuse in the Book
When Rita Ora tweeted that she would release her new song if her post hit 100,000 likes, things didn’t go quite as planned. She received a very respectable 20,000 likes, but that didn’t come anywhere near her original goal. To save face, Rita later claimed she’d been hacked and had never made that offer, and we have to wonder – was that just a convenient excuse?
It’s probably embarrassing for a celebrity to think they deserve much more love than they end up getting. But it’s much more embarrassing to express that expectation publicly and never get it. Of course, Rita likely thought she would quickly get 100,000 likes and was let down by her fans, so she pointed the finger elsewhere. But, hey, we would do the same!
