Rihanna is standing firmly by her longtime partner, ASAP Rocky, as he faces an impending trial on January 8. The 35-year-old singer is focusing on maintaining composure and offering unwavering support during this challenging time.
A source revealed to US Weekly that Rihanna recognizes the situation is beyond her control but remains strong for both Rocky and their entire family. “Although this is a stressful time, she’s been strong for the whole family and is holding it all together for the sake of her children and for Rocky,” emphasized the source.
ASAP Rocky was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department in August 2022 after an altercation with an “acquaintance” in November 2021. Despite being released on bail, a preliminary hearing in November 2023 resulted in accusations of assault, battery, and emotional distress in a civil suit. The judge decided to proceed with a trial due to sufficient evidence against the rapper.
Rocky’s lawyers issued a statement denying the allegations on his behalf, stating, “Defendant generally denies each and every allegation of the complaint and specifically denies that Plaintiff has been damaged in any amount or in any way as a result of any act or omission of the answering defendant.”
Throughout the legal proceedings, Rihanna and Rocky spent the winter holidays with their children in Aspen, ensuring they celebrated the festivities with friends and family, as revealed by an insider. The couple is navigating this challenging time together, emphasizing their commitment and solidarity.
