Rihanna’s cheesy lesbian-bondage-fetish video for “Te Amo”

Ugh, I have no idea what to make of this. One thing I’ll give Rihanna – she does try to make interesting videos, and try be a challenging visual artist. Unfortunately, most of her attempts seem kind of lame, although I did kind of like the video for “Rock Star 101”. Anyway, this is Rihanna’s newly leaked video for “Te Amo”. The song sucks. And the video looks really budget too, and like a really strange concept. I think the video treatment was like this: “Okay, we’ll hire French model Laetitia Casta to strut and writhe around in garters and a collar, and then maybe Rihanna will try to make out with her, and maybe that will be sexy. Oh, and it will take place in a spooky European chateau, and then after they’re done almost-kissing, they’ll both wander around in the yard. Excellent.”

I didn’t even recognize Laetitia Casta. She used to be one of my favorite models, but I haven’t seen her around much. Did she need a paycheck? Because the girl is pretty, but she can’t act her way out of a plastic bag. She and Rihanna have zero chemistry with each other, they both seem less focused on each other and more focused on posing hard as they stand sort of close to each other. Oh, and there’s a weird faux-bondage sex party at one point. No one is really doing anything, they’re just sort of hanging out in leather and fur hats. God, it’s just like my life! Bondage fail.

    Time’s about up isn’t it?

    L. Casta is now a serious actress in France. She doesn’t need a paycheck. Plus, she has made excellent independent movies and her acting is really good (I even think she has won awards…)

    Rihanna’s voice and look is so irritating to me. I am stunned she has lasted this long.

  4. MaiGirl says:

    You know, I am so tired of women trotting out faux-lesbian or bisexual themes just to shock people or turn them on! It is in no way cool, edgy, or provocative in this day and age. It’s so freaking overdone, and I would think, pretty insulting to the LGBT community, since it essentially minimizes sexual orientation to a strategy, or even worse, some sort of fashionable phase. It’s insulting to me as a straight woman, since it implies that I am one drunken night at the club (or whatever other overused trope–anger at my boyfriend?) away from changing my sexuality like I change my handbags, which ain’t gonna happen. Or, that I am going to make out with my friends just to turn men on like Pavlovian dogs (which, by the way, is insulting to men, as well).

    Sorry for the rant, but I am just totally over this tactic.

    Rihanna was so cute when she first came out, when she had long hair and someone was styling her. But even then I thought to myself, this chick is not that great and her voice is annoying. What the world likes about her idk, idk.
    Someone, anyone, seriosuly needs to tell this girl to get a stylist again.

    “she does try to make interesting videos, and try be a challenging visual artist.”

    really? to me it seems like she makes videos she thinks will get her attention in the “omg controversy but can still be shown before 9pm”. i thought xtina and gaga were the ultamate attention seekers looks like they need to hand over the crown to rhianna. and to think at one time i liked her 🙁

  7. emine says:

    I LOVED LETITIA CASTA IN GITANOS ,SHE PLAYED OPPOSITE JOAQUIN CORTEZ.

  8. RHONYC says:

    riiiight. she’s into girls now.

    her image is bulls%&t. we’re supposed to believe she’s into chicks just like we should believe she’s a tough ‘hard’-as-nails chick that would never, ever allow some douche to get away with beating he…oops…wait. 🙁

  9. Chloe says:

    I hated this song but now that i’ve seen this video i like “Te amo” so so much just because of Laetitia Casta.

  10. Constance says:

    Isn’t RiRi seriously a bisexual? I thought she was.

    I too find faux gays disgusting and immature.I hate to find out a girl I’m trying to go home with is straight AND pretended to be interested b/c she wanted to look good for a guy. That’s umm… not a very good use of logic.

  11. ViktoryGin says:

    I really liked the chateau.

    @MaiGirl

    You echoed my feelings exactly. I’m really tiring of homosexuality (sexuality, in general) being used as shock tool, especially because it’s fetishistic, a poor approximation of sexuality, and really quite insipid. Damn, this girl is so contrived, you can practically smell the banality wafting off of her.

    Now the satanic conspiracists can add lesbian to their moniker, Devil-bitch.

  12. Amneh says:

    @MaiGirl
    exactly, faux lesbians are just as demeaning to women as the half naked women who dance in the background of those hip hop videos.

  13. BlahBlah says:

    Wow, talk about trying too hard. This video is about as sexy as an empty ice bucket and the song itself is even less memorable.

  14. Kayleigh says:

    Sounds like she doesn’t even know the words to her own song. “TAY AMMO, TAY AMM *mummble mummble* TAY AMMO!”

  15. Claire78 says:

    I am sick of everyone piping up about being ‘bi’ as well. Its the latest attending grabbing phase – Fergie, Lady Gaga, Anna Paquin, Lindsay etc etc. Can’t someone just admit to loving men for once. Every music video these days has women snogging all over the place, it a bit old hat. Rihanna has never been the most talented – surprised she has been around this long.

  16. Fae says:

    Why doesn’t she just take everything off, get on a box and scream ‘ALL THE BOYS PAY ATTENTION TO ME BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A VALID PERSON’ whilst spreading her cheeks for the camera. Again. At least it’d be honest.

  17. Emily says:

    @MaiGirl, exactly! So so sick of it. And yeah, it IS insulting to people in the GLBTI community.

    @Constance, I feel your pain! The worst is if it’s at a gay club, because you’d assume most of the girls are into girls. Pretending to be a lesbian at a gay club to pick up boys is just low. And really, really pathetic!

  18. Sally says:

    @MaiGirl – you said it!

  19. snowball says:

    If I’m keeping track right, RiRi’s about an album away from an Aguilera Bionic or maybe she’ll go way, way retro and do a Timbaland/Will.I.Am collaboration. /rolleyes

    She’s the opposite of authentic, and no, I’ve never, ever heard anyone say she’s even dabbled in bi. With all her writhing around and moaning about how it’s “so haaard, so haaard,” and what a “rude boy, rude boy,” – every other song she’s sung is about dick, so why she’s gone bi for this one – it’s all a stunt.

  20. jover says:

    Yes, snowball she is totally a studio creation and in the few extensive interviews she gives she doesn’t come off very bright; I’d like to know how well her new cd is selling versus the amount of money they have to spend marketing her. It’s pathetic watching the music industry implode pushing this lame contrived stuff.

  21. Its Tiki Tiki Time says:

    I say its “Tiki Tiki Time” meaning Tick tock its the countdown for RiRi. I used to really like her with Umbrella and what she did with Maroon5 and Take a Bow
    What she did on TI’s song and with J Timberlake. So its the countdown for her now I think Chris Brown beat her senseless. Because this album is not very good at all…

  22. ALICE says:

    I DON’T THINK RI IS BI OR GAY. I THINK IT’S JUST A STUNT. IT’S HER CHOICE THOUGH.

  23. ALICE says:

    YA’LL STOP THE HATE

  24. alabama23 says:

    So how is what she does effect any or you people lives??????????

  25. Zoe says:

    After all Rihanna has been through, I don’t blame her for going for the pink team. You go, girl.

  26. Steve says:

    If you don’t like the no talented bum, then do what I do. I don’t watch or listen to her (or him, whichever the case may be).

  27. nurugel says:

    She’s still sassy and sexy

  28. char cahr says:

    why should rihana make videos that sucks.the rockstar and then teamo.
    riri watch out cos your career may sink

  29. bradley says:

    okay uh i don’t like rihanna but all her songs i know are about dick except for umberella which is loveish with jay z, but once i came home from school and saw the vid for te amo cause my mum had 4music channel on, i was like ”what the hell is going on?! rihanna is straight as the straightest you can get!”, honestly all we see in music vids now is totally unhot unsexy lesbians, it’s so not cool, and i’ getting tired of female celebs comming out as gay, lady gaga now pushes too far, but i just want to know, why is rihanna a lesbian in this one video? i mean rude boy is about hard pervyess with a guy(i must also say it’s her most annoying song yet), she hasn’t come out as gay or bisexual, so why?!

  30. Siobhan says:

    I aggree! Hoax, wtf is faux? Are you guys trying to say faux? or F**ckn haox? whatever, anyway, i just want answers is this a “hey, look at me im coming out” video or a “dont i’s look smexi with this woman” video, cuz i mean like huh? She claims to be authentic, and artistic, dogs on lady gaga, but dude, i mean she, for one doesnt write her own songs, lady gaga does, she for two doesnt play or write any music to her music, lady gaga does, and for three, her voice is lazy, it needs work, and so does her so called fashion, i mean ok lady your famous for your legs but, do you know what a pair of pants are?

    and i agree with most of you, i dont read the names, sorry rihanna fans, sorry for the ranting, but, im just a ranter, its what i do, i rant.

    🙂

  31. Louisee says:

    I think this video is really random – i dont understand why she is pretending to be a lesbian or bisexual. If she is a bisexual or a lesbian then fair play to her but if not i think some people may be offended by her acting. I have to say quite alot of artists are doing lesbian features in their videos its old news to be honest. I like the song but the video i dont understand xxx

  32. Louisee says:

    btw faux refers to fake
    it is usually faux fur – refering to fake fur as in not real animal fur
    just to help there xx

  33. Aj says:

    Ok first of all, stop the hate!
    What she’s doing isn’t effecting you in anyway so why are you talking so much?If this is what she’s into let her go hard! And btw her song hard isn’t about dick, it’s about her being hard and strong. The only song she has about dick is rude boy and trust me alot of people sing about dick atleast once. The thing I don’t understand is If you guys hate her so much and what she does why did you bother clicking on this site and reading what it says and commenting your harsh comments?…I mean i understand everyone is intitled to their own opinion, but negativity is just not cool and it makes everything harder…she is human as well, why do you bring her down?…I personally love Rihanna and believe she’s an amazing singer and a strong woman for dealing with such a horrible, public thing with her ex Chris Brown. Just leave her alone and go do something better with your lives rather then hate on others and bring them down when they try to do something they love and are really good at and trust me, Rihanna’s career isn’t sinking at all!

  34. diddo says:

    i hate her like shit nw,ever since i set my eyes on dat rubbish,she calls a video,she such a real bitch

  35. Russ says:

    What’s the problem? Good-looking women getting sexual is hot – women lacking in the looks department getting sexual is not – FACT.

  36. Paschal says:

    Is quite unfair but d fct is dat rihana is d ownr of her bdy aftr God so she has d rght 2 do whtevr she wnts 2 do wit hr bdy.Jst free her.
