Rihanna is prioritizing her family's safety by leaving town while authorities continue investigating the shooting at her Los Angeles mansion. The superstar is being protective of her children after a terrifying ordeal.
The internet is shook. Fans are speculating about where she fled and whether she'll return anytime soon. The creepy factor? The suspect had been fixated on Rihanna for some time, making videos and posts about her — yet authorities say there's no known connection between them.
The shooting occurred Sunday at Rihanna's L.A. home while she was inside with her children. Suspect Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, was booked for attempted murder with bail set at $10,225,000. She allegedly fired multiple rounds into the mansion from her car.
Rihanna isn't waiting around to find out if this obsessed stranger comes back. With her children in tow, she made a calculated exit from L.A. — and honestly? I'd do the same thing. This is exactly why stalker cases need to be taken seriously BEFORE someone ends up dead.
Rihanna is not messing around. Following the terrifying shooting at her Los Angeles home on Sunday — while she was inside with her children, no less — the Grammy winner was photographed Monday afternoon heading to Van Nuys Airport and appears to have skipped town entirely.
Photographs obtained by TMZ show bags being loaded into vehicles and driven to the private airport before the plane took off. The timing is telling: this wasn't a planned vacation departure, it was a get-out-of-dodge moment. The superstar clearly decided she wasn't sticking around to see what would happen next with the investigation.
Authorities continue to hunt for answers in the shooting that shook her mansion. Thirty-five-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz has been booked for attempted murder in connection with the incident, accused of firing multiple rounds into Rihanna's home from her car while the singer and her kids were inside. That's not a near-miss — that's someone literally trying to kill her.
Here's where it gets really unsettling: posts online show Ortiz had been making videos and writing about Rihanna leading up to the disturbing incident. There's no known link between the two women — meaning this wasn't a personal beef, a jealous ex, or a former collaborator. This was a stranger with an obsession. TMZ reports Ortiz seems to have been preoccupied with Rihanna for some time, and investigators are now trying to figure out how she got so fixated on the superstar.
Ortiz is currently in custody with bail set at a hefty $10,225,000 — that's not chump change, and it tells you prosecutors aren't playing around. But the question on everyone's mind: is Rihanna coming back to L.A. anytime soon? With an obsessed stranger potentially still fixated on her, I wouldn't bet on it.
