Rihanna Livestreamed Herself Watching Her “Bates Motel” Episode

Rihanna Livestreamed Herself Watching Her “Bates Motel” Episode

The closest any of us will ever get to watching TV with Rihanna.

Over 40,000 people tuned in to Instagram to watch Rihanna livestream herself reacting to her role in Bates Motel, the TV series inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.

The live stream showed the musician looking embarrassed as she sat through the episode, in which she assumed the role of Marion Crane, sex scenes and all.

Spoiler alert: Marion Crane is the iconic character who gets stabbed to death in the shower by the murderous Norman Bates in the horror film, Psycho. 

In an attempt to make it through the entire episode, Rihanna created a drinking game – downing a shot of tequila with her friends every time her Bates Motel character says “Sam”, the name of her on-screen lover, Sam Loomis (Austin Nichols). We’re guessing that the musician had a few too many “Sam’s” in her dialogue since Rihanna ended up getting pretty sloshed.
