Bravo superfan Rihanna is firmly on Team Ciara Miller.
The “Diamonds” singer, 38, shared a message of support for the Summer House star recently, encouraging Ciara to keep shining amid ex West Wilson’s controversial relationship with her former BFF, Amanda Batula.
Ciara, 30, was interviewed on the red carpet at the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards in May by Bravo’s roving reporter, Chanel Ayan of The Real Housewives of Dubai fame, and Chanel, 48, surprised her by reading out a text message she received from Rihanna.
“She said, ‘Just let her know, stay vibrating in her beautiful frequency,’” Chanel read from her phone in a video shared by Bravo on Wednesday, June 17. “She said, ‘And give god thanks that he’s relieved her of people who don’t deserve an inch of her now chapter. It’s a reward season, baby girl.’”
“Oh, my god. I’m dead!” Ciara reacted to seeing Rihanna’s text message.
Ciara then continued to read out Rihanna’s inspiring words to her.
“Up and on. Now the petty bitch in me wants to say way more, but we’ll do that when I see her,” Rihanna said in the text message.
An excited Ciara told Chanel, “I’m obsessed with her. I listen to her. I mean, I was listening to her before I got ready for this.”
“I feel like we have so much to talk about, and I can’t wait to catch up with her,” Ciara continued, noting that she was hoping to “kiki” and “throw shots back” with Rihanna, Chanel and Summer House costar Mia Calabrese in the near future.
The Las Culturistas Culture Awards took place on May 30 in Los Angeles and aired on Bravo on Wednesday.
Ciara picked up the Allison Williams Cool Girl Award at the awards ceremony and alluded to the drama with West and Amanda in her acceptance speech.
“Thank you so much. If by ‘cool,’ you mean utterly disappointed in everyone around me, yes, I am so f***ing cool,” the former nurse said.
She added, “Obviously, this year has been a little rough, but you know what they say: the best revenge is winning the Allison Williams Cool Girl Award. And booking Love Island USA. And being in Shaboozey’s music video. And also being a registered nurse. And a model. So I’m gonna put this in the bathroom at my new house.”
In April, Ciara’s friend, Mia, 34, revealed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that Rihanna quizzed her about the Summer House scandal during a night out in New York City.
“I love her. I love RiRi. And she loves me. I think she loves Ciara as well,” Mia said at the time. “Rihanna wanted all the tea. As soon as she saw me, she beelined for me, took her glasses off, and said, ‘We need to talk.’ I said, ‘Anything for you.’”
