Rihanna is opening up about the terrifying afternoon her family’s safety was put in jeopardy. While the Fenty mogul and A$AP Rocky have mostly kept to themselves following a shooting at their Los Angeles estate earlier this month, fresh police reports are finally giving us a look into the chaos.
According to The Los Angeles Times, fresh details emerged concerning her conversations with police officers about the shooting incident at her home earlier this month.
The documents reveal that the entire family was on the property when 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz allegedly opened fire.
According to these police reports made public from a court filing earlier this week, the couple and their children were at the residence at the time of the shooting. RiRi reportedly stated that she and Rocky were in an Airstream trailer on the property at the time, which the shooter struck.
Rihanna’s instincts kicked in the second she realized they were under fire. Her firsthand recounting is that her partner was sleeping when she “suddenly heard approximately ten loud sounds like something banging on metal.”
Without hesitation, she moved to shield Rocky. The singer reportedly woke the rapper up, “told him they were being shot at and pushed both of them to the ground.”
Her next thought was naturally her babies, who were inside the main house with other family members. Also, she reportedly recalled that they ran to their house to check on their three children. Prosecutors say, the Barbadian superstar’s mother, two staff members, and two of her neighbors were home at the time of the shooting.
Investigators later found that three bullets reportedly impacted the windshield and side of the Airstream (near where Rihanna was standing), but did not penetrate the trailer.
While this police report recently became public, the couple still hasn’t publicly spoken out about the incident at press time. We will see if that changes soon. It seems the two are prioritizing peace and privacy as the legal process plays out.
The suspect, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, recently pleaded not guilty to attempted murder. Beyond the criminal charges, the Florida native is also facing professional ruin. Ortiz, now awaits her fate in this case. She is reportedly a 35-year-old speech-language pathologist who now risks losing her license over this case, regardless of the legal matter’s conclusion.
There’s been no specific updates since the shooting, although they presumably left Los Angeles shortly after the incident.
With all that money you think she’d have the best security in the world! Someone dropped the ball.
