Rihanna being sued by Dublin man for alleged defamation

Superstar singer Rihanna is being sued in the Irish courts for alleged defamation.

Dublin man Geoffrey Keating who worked as head of security for the pop princess has launched an action for damages and claims he was allegedly defamed in a series of statements contained in an email sent by the singer in July last year.

Mr Keating — who was head of security for Rihanna when she was on tour between October 2012 and July 2013 — claims the statements in the communication are untrue and have gravely injured his reputation and his business.
