Rihanna involved in a lesbian scandal?

In her upcoming book “Low Down Dirty Shame”, author Natajah Burton claims that she and an unnamed R&B singer from Barbados had an “instant connection” and that “sex came up immediately, she was a freak”. Everyone assumes this person is Rihanna. This comes out the same time as Rihanna’s and Nicki Minaj’s comments that implied the two of them were sexually involved.

The writer also claims to have dated “a very well known actress, a lot older, who also worked as a model” and a “well known female reality TV star.” The actress is “a very well respected figure in the African American community” and “not officially out as a lesbian” but that her sexuality is “the worst kept secret in Hollywood.”

The author adds that:

“Young black gays don’t have any positive role models to look up to… White kids have Ellen and Rosie O’Donnell, but black kids don’t have anyone. There is still so much homophobia in the African American community, and it is beyond tough to come out — when I did I was called all manner of names, I had guys throwing condoms at me in the street, I was called fa***t, carpet muncher, I was told I was going to hell.”

So, by writing about these famous people, is Burton trying to force them out of the closet?
