Rihanna: Rolemodel?

Recently the singer and fashion designer Rihanna has come under a lot of slack for being a bad role model. She's sexy, immodest, and is often seen making rude gestures. However, why does Rihanna have to be a role model at all? As a woman, Rihanna comes under scrutiny because of her sexy dressing style with bosom and bottom ready to burst out of her revealing costumes, her tawdry antics, provocative dancing and stormy relationship with a physically abusive boyfriend.
What is Rihanna's attitude? It seems like her new record's name says it all: Unapologetic, with yet another provocative photo of her topless and only covered by graffiti writing. She's not interested in being a role model, or at least she's not interested in being a role model for another type of woman. She's a role model for herself and true to her style and personality.
