Rihanna posted a takedown of Snapchat on her Instagram story, responding to an advertisement of a mobile game that made light of domestic violence. The controversial and since-removed ad referenced Rihanna's 2009 assault by Chris Brown.



As a promotion for the mobile game Would Your Rather?, the advertisement asked if the user would rather "slap Rihanna" or "punch Chris Brown." Snapchat had already released a public apology and removed the ad before Rihanna's comments.
"I'd love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain't that dumb! You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to DV victims and made a joke of it!!!" she wrote. "This isn't about my personal feelings, cause I don't have much of them … but all the women, children and men that have been victims of DV in the past and especially the ones who haven't made it out yet … you let us down! Shame on you. Throw the whole app-oligy away."
