Rihanna Rips Snapchat Over Ad Joking About Domestic Violence The ad was for a game called "Would You Rather" and asked you if you "rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown." Snapchat immediately took the ad down when it was reported and issued an apology. The advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelinesWe immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware. We are sorry that this happened. Rihanna issued her own statement, using Snapchat's own app to tell them her thoughts. Now SNAPCHAT I know you alreadyy know you ain't my fav app out there! But I'm just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess! 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. This isn't 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! Note to self: Don't mess with Rihanna.
