>There are literally headlines everyday pointing out her
>"crazy" behavior.

Those headlines aren't there because people don't "accept" her behavior... They're there because people LOVE it. They can't get enough of it. It sells papers and generates pageclicks. Folks love to gasp and pretend they're shocked when Riri posts a pic of herself with no pants on, but they all retweet the shit. Everybody goes on about how terrible it is that she's back with Breezy and how she's dead to them, but they still have to report on every move the couple makes because they're sexy and dangerous and they don't want to miss it in case he kills her this time.

That's a completely different animal from the kind of attention Beyonce is getting. Like I said, Rihanna is a *rock star* in a way that Beyonce is not, and the public actively enjoys watching rock stars indulge in bad behavior.
