Rihanna’s livid. She can’t stand the fact that Katy has to sit back and look at revealing photos of her man getting too close for comfort with another woman. The ANTI artist immediately hit Katy up and has been giving her words of encouragement and support. “Ri’s absolutely appalled that Selena, no matter what the context was, was seen all over Katy’s dude. She thinks it’s downright disgusting and rude,” a source close to Ri told HollywoodLife.comTo hear more about Selena and Orlando, head over to iTunes and download the latest HollywoodLife podcast for free!

“Rihanna’s been reminding Katy of what a bad bitch she is, how gorgeous she is and how she’s the prize – not Orlando! Rihanna’s even bashed Selena” the source continued. “Telling Katy that Selena’s trifling and needs to understand and respect the girl code. Ri’s been there for Katy over the past few days and it’s really helping Katy get through this mess.”

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, despite seeing the now infamous racy pictures of Orlando and Selena cuddling, Katy’s not going to dump him. Friends of hers tell us she’s completely infatuated with him and leaving him is something she simply isn’t prepared to do. “People are assuming she’s going to call it a day with him, but Katy has a very hard time ending things,” another source EXCLUSIVELY explained to HollywoodLife.com. “Plus, she’s so into Orlando and he’s a smooth talker, this isn’t going to be cut and dried.”
