Rihanna's Father Opens Up On When He Was Thrown Out Of Her Diamond Ball After He Got Drunk

Rihanna's alcoholic dad was escorted out of her glittering Diamond Ball for boozing after he promised her he had kicked his destructive habit.

Daily Mail Online can exclusively reveal the superstar singer has been embroiled in a heartbreaking bid to save Ronald Fenty from his drinking demons for the past year - even putting him through an expensive Malibu rehab program.

But all her hard work went up in smoke last Thursday as her star-studded charity party was reduced to farce before she even arrived.


In an exclusive chat with Ronald at his Beverly Hills hotel before he jetted out of Los Angeles, the 61-year-old spoke candidly about their spectacular bust-up, revealing how:

- Rihanna put him through a $58,000 Malibu rehab program last year to save him from jail after he was arrested during a previous visit to California
- She flies him to LA every three months for urine tests and has the mini-bar emptied before he arrives
- She has frozen out Chris Brown and ignored him at their last meeting
- He dislikes Rihanna’s best pal and constant companion Melissa Forde
- She is still single and unable to find a man
- She is NOT pregnant, despite widespread claims by magazines and websites

He said: 'I’m sad how it ended of course, I should have never taken that first drink or any drink for that matter. I wish I had seen her of course.

'She will probably hear how I was and how I had a few drinks, so I guess she would be angry with me. I think she is, I’m not sure, we haven’t spoken just yet.'

Asked what possessed him to drink at the event, Ronald claimed he was depressed that his two older children from a previous relationship – Rihanna’s half brother and sister Jamie and Samantha - weren’t invited.

He said: 'That day of the event I was really down. My other son and daughter in Barbados, Samantha and Jamie, were not invited and they were on my case about it and making me feel bad and guilty. Cousins and everybody on the other side was invited but why wasn’t Jamie and Samantha there? It wasn’t the first time either. I got really down and depressed and that was basically why I started drinking that day.'

Ronald has battled addiction to crack cocaine in the past and has long been a heavy drinker. Although he and Monica divorced when Rihanna was 14 he has remained close to his daughter and her brothers Rorrey and Rajad.

However his relationship with Rihanna has often been rocky.

Six years ago Ronald was sent home from her North American tour as punishment for drunken behaviour on her tour bus.

Rihanna then froze her dad out for two years before they reconciled.
