BANGKOK — Rihanna has 32 million Twitter followers — and now three tweet-related arrests under her belt.
Tweets posted by the sultry pop singer about a wild strip show at a Thai bar have led to the bar owner’s arrest on obscenity charges, officials revealed Monday.
Police in Phuket busted the businessman for alleged obscenity and operating an entertainment venue without a permit. They said they didn’t know about the operation until RiRi’s tweets.
“Authorities found out about this bar the morning after Rihanna tweeted about it, but we were not able to catch them violating the law until Saturday night,” said local district chief Weera Kerdsirimongkon. “We had been waiting for them and finally caught them red handed.”
Rihanna, who was vacationing in Thailand in between stops on her Diamonds World Tour, tweeted about the over-the-top show in detail on Sept. 20.
“Either I was ph- -k wasted lastnight, or I saw a Thai woman pull a livebird,2 turtles,razors,shoot darts and ping pong, all out of her p- - -y,” she wrote, adding that she saw the woman “turn water into coke.”
“Uhh yea, all I’m saying is water went in and soda came out! I’m traumatized!!!” she tweeted.
It wasn’t Rihanna’s first social-media bust.
On the same day, she posted to Instagram and Twitter a photo of herself with a slow loris, a protected primate. It led to the arrest of two men, 20 and 16, for alleged illegal possession of a protected animal.
Rihanna is now in South Africa for a show on Thursday.
