How Rihanna’s help gave Natalie Portman the boost she needed after her divorce
During Paris Fashion Week in January, Natalie Portman and Rihanna shared a moment that will never be forgotten. Bustle caught the moment on camera and shared it on social media. The two stars hugged each other, and Portman told Rihanna, “I love you!” Rihanna, who is known for being honest and outspoken, replied, “I am a f***ing fan,” and called Portman “one of the hottest b**ches in Hollywood.”
This short but powerful conversation changed Portman in a way that will last. In an interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Portman talked about what Rihanna’s words meant to her. “I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad b**ch,” said Portman. It became clear to her how powerful and encouraging words can be, especially when they come from a famous person like Rihanna.
Portman and dancer and director Benjamin Millepied got a divorce in March. The two met on the set of the highly acclaimed movie “Black Swan,” where Millepied was the choreographer. They got married in 2012. Portman won an Academy Award for her part as a ballerina in the movie, which starred Mila Kunis.
In the course of their marriage, Portman and Millepied had a boy and a daughter, which made their split even more difficult. While Portman was going through a tough time in her life, Rihanna’s surprise support gave her more confidence and strength.
Portman’s story shows how important it is to have support and guidance when things are hard. Rihanna’s praise wasn’t just a fan moment for her; it was a reminder of how strong and valuable she is. Two strong women meeting is a great example of how positive encouragement and support can help people who are going through hard times.
