Rihanna's Accountants FIRE BACK Saying She Messed Up Her OWN MONEY! + Rita Ora & Rob Kardashian TATT Each Other's Names Together....TEMPORARILY!

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 08:03 AM PDT

Rihanna's accountants have responded to her accusations of financial mismanagement saying her losses are her own fault! Get the deets on the accounting firm's claims inside and check out the ink-tastic hijinks of Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian.

 

We told you previously about Rihanna suing her former accounting firm for mishandling her 2009 Last Girl On Earth tour and for taking an inapproproate cut of 22% of her profits, and now the firm is defending itself.

Berdon LLP have filed legal docs claming it was Rihanna's "own financial action or inaction" or those of her team that messed up her tour money.  Also, they fired back about their 22% comission saying RiRi signed off on an engagement letter that gave them permission to take it.  So if she had a problem, she shouldn't have signed the agreement.

So far, a judge hasn't ruled on the case but the firm asked that she get a case full of nothing!

 

 

In other Roc Nation news.........

While Rita Ora has not officially confirmed that she's in a relationship with Rob Kardashian, the two sure act real couple-like. The duo recently got tattoos of one another's names on their hands. 

And whatever led them down this road must have been intense as Rob tweeted, Shit got crazy tonight... What can I say... #tatmynameonya

Later on, Rita confirmed that the tatts were just temporary tweeting, It’s Not Real LOL.

But with Rob supporting Rita in London as she promotes ORA, wouldn't be surprised if something became more permanent...

After his arrest for domestic violence Saturday night, Chad Johnson has been released by the Miami Dolphins.  Deets inside...

Chad was previously released by the New England Patriots and was recently picked up by the Miami Dolphins after he battled for a spot ont he team.

And after his appearance on a recent episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks", the inside look into how NFL Teams go through the pre-season, it was clear Chad was already on thin ice due to his behavior in interviews.

The arrest was apparently the last straw for the team, as they took to Twitter with the announcement saying:

Chad also needs to worry about the legal ramifications of his fight with wife Evelyn.  ESPN reports:

If convicted, Johnson faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also receive community service, probation or anger management classes.

Foolery.

Evelyn Lozada has been released from the hospital following an altercation with hubby Chad Johnson.  Get the deets on their situation inside and see what former NBA baller Eric Williams had to say about the "knot" on her head.

 

We told you earlier about the heat-butting domestic dispute between Evelyn and Chad (pictured above the day after their wedding last month) and now more deets are emerging. Though Ev has been released from the hospital and is safe with friends now, last night was another story.  According to the police report that just surfaced, TMZ reports she fled to a neighbor's home after Chad head-butted her during an argument about a receipt for condoms.  Allegedly, he began screaming, "I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck about my career!"

Once Ev was located, an officer on the scene said he observed a 3 inch laceration on her forehead.   But when he spoke to Chad, he was told that Ev yelled "Fuck it!" at him and then head-butted HIM!

Later, Chad was arrested and taken to Broward County Jail on one charge of domestic violence. 

He posted bail of $2,500 this morning (pictured above leaving jail this morning) and was ordered to stay away from Ev.

Chad's bosses at the Miami Dolphins are "aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering relevant information," according to Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene.

 

And to throw salt on a wound....

Eric Williams, the estranged hubby of Ev's frenemy Jennifer Williams, took a few shots at Ev when he heard about the dispute.  He tweeted, Hey @EvelynJohnson...... I bet that #knot on your head more #shinier#Prince_of_NewARK than mine....

He had moe jokes saying, Lets do our Own show, called "2Bumps you can't get enuf" We Good..... @hisKnotThenSaid, said he needs a companion..

He even threw a dirty joke in saying, I guess @EvelynJohnson really do like rough #sex.. a little over-board this time Chaddy... I said it..

Oh Eric...
