Rumors had been amuck when it came to Rita Ora, Taika Waititi, and Tessa Thompson. Fans were convinced that they were a throuple after Ora and Waititi got married. While both the director and Thompson have commented often on how the rumors are anything but true. However, the singer has never spoken a word about the incident.

That was until now. Rita Ora has finally broken her silence regarding the threesome that become viral on social media. She, much like the other two, has denied it to be true and that she and Taika Waititi are a married couple without the involvement of Tessa Thompson. She focused on how she never addressed it before this time and why she chose to step away from the rumors rather than clear them out altogether.

Rita Ora Thinks The Rumors Of A Throuple With Tessa Thompson Are Absurd

Rita Ora pointed out how she felt that the rumors regarding her and Taika Waititi being in a relationship with Tessa Thompson were ridiculous, to say the least. These rumors sprouted after the three had been spotted sharing a kiss on a balcony during a party with all of them having drinks in their hands.

“I just chose to not acknowledge that because it’s ridiculous. I think when some things are so absurd, and it’s hard to fathom any sense of it, you just have to ignore it. I’ve taken that approach for a lot of things because you don’t want to put energy towards something that’s nonexistent. It’s like trying to explain something that didn’t happen means you’re feeding into nothing.”

The singer focused on how it was just three friends having fun and enjoying their time together away from their busy schedules. She clarified that something so simple was turned into such big news and that too false. It was not a secret relationship for the three but just some friends hanging out and acknowledging each other’s company.

Rita Ora Commended The Fans Who Supported Her During Her Silence

Fans of Rita Ora had been supporting her since the rumors started. They commended her for normalizing something that would otherwise be looked down upon. Friends having to hang out as freely is not seen as often and to see something that would highlight the queer community more made fans ecstatic.

“The good news though is that when I was on Twitter talking to my fans, all of my incredible LGBTQIA+ fanbases were like, actually – whether this is true or not – I’m so inspired that this is being normalized publicly. That made me really happy. You don’t know who it’s touching.”

The singer too thanked them for supporting her and standing by her when she chose to ignore things that did not mean much to her. It was a step towards the lack of acknowledgment of rumors that will only worsen upon interaction. She stood against these rumors by simply not saying anything that would be taken out of context later.
