There are a lot of explanations women come up with to explain why they’re single and looking like Rihanna usually isn’t one of them. But low and behold 25-year-old stylist Briana Guthrie who claims her supposed resemblance to Ri Ri has rendered her man-less.
Yeaaaah.
In an interview with “The Mirror,” the Hackney, London, resident said:
“I’m single because I look like Rihanna, pure and simple. I have lost count at the amount of people that have been convinced I’m Rihanna – to date I’ve probably been stopped by over 1,000 people in street.
“Boyfriends have dated me purely because I look like her – it’s always the first thing they say. I’m desperate to find a man who sees past my resemblance to Rihanna. Blokes want me to be Rihanna, but I’m not. I’m Bianca.”
My initial reaction is just tell those men to go look at this photo gallery and they’ll see that she and the Bajan singer actually look nothing alike, but apparently Miss Guthrie’s been dealing with the ghost of Ri Ri for the past 11 years.
“When I was 14, people at my school told me I was her double,” Guthrie said. “I ended up cutting my hair to get away from it, I liked Rihanna but when you get asked it 100 times it loses its appeal quickly.
“Next thing I knew, she’d cut her hair too, and we looked exactly the same again. When I left school it just got worse. I would go on holiday and people were convinced it was Rihanna. I’d be followed and then asked for a photo. One time in London a group of tourists ran across a busy street shouting ‘Oh my gosh it’s Rihanna!'”
Despite not wanting to be associated with the singer, all of the attention caused Guthrie to develope an obsession of sorts with Rihanna, saying:
“I’ve found myself going online daily to see what she was doing/looking like. I went through phases of doing it to avoid a certain look. I had my hair red and then a week later Rihanna did it. Everyone thought I had copied her so I dyed it back. Then I went blonde and was told I looked like Rita Ora – I couldn’t win.”
Determined to win however, Guthrie says she’s now on a mission to find a man who hates Rihanna. And then they can live happily ever after.
Unfortunately, that won’t fix the issue of the young stylist being just a tad dramatic — or delusional.
Do you think Guthrie’s a Rihanna lookalike?
