Rita Ora’s record label responds amid claims they ‘didn’t like’ Taika Waititi and Tessa Thompson photos
Rita Ora’s record label has shut down claims they ‘didn’t like’ the photos of her cosying up to Taika Waititi and Tessa Thompson.
The Anywhere singer was pictured snuggling up to Thor director Taika, who she is rumoured to be dating, and actress Tessa during a lunch date in Australia last month.
A source who claimed to have ‘worked closely’ with Rita alleged that her record label were unhappy with the highly-publicised photos.
‘They didn’t like the behaviour, is what I heard,’ the insider told Australia’s The Telegraph.
However, Warner Music has denied the claims and told the publication: ‘Rita is an incredible and hard-working artist, and we loved having her in Australia. We look forward to having her back here soon.’
It was also recently alleged that Marvel bosses weren’t thrilled with the display and thought Taika, 45, had ‘crossed a line’.
Rita, 30, and Taika, who is directing the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa, were first linked in April following an up close and personal Instagram photo which sent fans into meltdown.
They’ve been spotted out looking cosy together several times since then.
According to reports, they took their relationship up several notches and were living together in Sydney.
A piece in the The Sydney Morning Herald’s Private Sydney column claimed Rita had ‘moved in’ to the beach home he has been staying.
However, the pop star has now jetted off to Los Angeles and is believed to be recording her next album.
Talk of a romance with Taika comes after Rita split from boyfriend Romain Gavras after six weeks of dating, with sources claiming they grew apart in lockdown.
A source told The Sun that they will ‘remain a close team’ despite no longer being together.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to Rita’s reps for comment.
