Rihanna loves The Valley just as much as we do. When asked by Kirbie Johnson, host of the "GlossAngeles" podcast, if she watched the new Bravo series, the singer playfully responded, "Oh, my God, I feel attacked! How do you know this?"
Rihanna admitted that she is a big fan of The Valley, expressing that she is "obsessed" with the show. During an interview posted on TikTok on Saturday, March 27, she asked the reporter to summarize the most recent episode to help her remember it, only to realize that she had not actually watched it herself.
Laughing it off, Rihanna joked, "Oops, I didn't catch that. Thanks for the spoiler!" She then went on to share her thoughts about the show, saying, "I really love The Valley. It's interesting to see how all the characters are parents, yet they're all a bit crazy at the same time. I can totally relate."
After Rihanna's response to The Valley gained popularity, Brittany Cartwright, a member of the cast, shared on her Instagram Story, "We are also big fans of you @badgalriri."

The Valley follows a group of friends who trade in their party lifestyles and Hollywood addresses for the challenges of adulthood and raising children in the San Fernando Valley, California.
Rihanna openly expresses her affection for The Valley and has even revealed her admiration for the Real Housewives series. During a visit to Aspen, Colorado in 2023, Rihanna crossed paths with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards.
During a podcast with Kelly Ripa in March, 55-year-old Richards shared that Rihanna gave her valuable advice on her personal life. Richards was impressed by Rihanna's insights on marriage and how to handle relationship issues.
Richards revealed that Rihanna shared a powerful message with her that left a lasting impact. Rihanna advised Richards to not feel obligated to share intimate details of her marriage with others. Instead, she suggested Richards respond by asking why she should give away the blueprint to her home when it's already renovated.
Rihanna caught people's attention in April during an Interview magazine interview when she was questioned about Richards and Morgan Wade's relationship status. She responded with a simple "I mean, duh."
The singer of "Consideration" went on to express her admiration for Richards and mentioned feeling hesitant about discussing her relationship since she isn't aware of all the details. Rihanna also highlighted how Richards was able to view her marriage from a different perspective.
In July 2023, it was confirmed that Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, decided to separate after being married for almost 30 years. Despite rumors suggesting that Richards was dating Wade, 29, the reality star and Umansky, 53, addressed the speculation and made it clear that they were not seeing anyone else.
In a joint statement, they shared, "We have faced many challenges this year, making it the toughest one in our marriage. However, we both have a deep love and respect for each other. There has been no wrongdoing on either of our parts."
