"Global pop icon Rihanna has used her influential position to mock a 16-year-old girl from Baltimore's prom outfit intended to pay tribute to her idol.
Alexis Carter decided to dress like Rihanna at her school's Hollywood-themed prom and had a family friend design her a dark green catsuit with wing-like panels.
Miss Carter's bold outfit, modeled on an ensemble that Rihanna wore in 2010, led to her being cyber-bullied - including several vitriolic tweets from the Grammy-award winner herself."* Ana Kasparian, Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) and Desi Doyen (Green News Report) break it down on The Young Turks.
