Rihanna comforting Katy Perry over Russell Brand divorce
The 'We Found Love' singer invited Perry to take a break at her luxury home in Barbados after Brand opted to end their 14-month marriage on Friday (December 30), The Sun reports.
"Katy is hardly speaking to anyone right now, but she called Rihanna as soon as she heard Russell was filing for divorce," a source said.
"Katy was embarrassed about calling her parents as they'd been so against Russell in the first place, but Rihanna was a great support for her and she really helped to calm her down.
"When Katy told her the news, she suggested flying down to Barbados to stay with her and her family."
Rihanna was apparently selected as Perry's maid of honour, but did not attend the couple's wedding ceremony in India.
The Bajan star threw Perry a bachelorette party in Las Vegas the month before her nuptials.
Brand and Perry are rumoured to have split because she was not ready to start a family, though sources close to the couple claim their relationship was 'doomed from the start'.
