Rita Ora probably didn’t expect to be widely criticised for the photo she recently uploaded, but BOY were fans upset with her.
While at the British Fashion Awards earlier this week, Rita uploaded two photos of herself and MMA champion Conor McGregor, with the caption, “Date night.”

But as Conor’s fans would know, he has been with long-term girlfriend Dee Devlin for over 8 years, and they have a son together.
Fans totally LET HER HAVE IT.

Date night with a married man? This a common thing for you, isn’t it Hun
— Kane Scott (@MASS_IVE_MUSH) December 5, 2017
To knowingly tag another woman’s partner in a post saying date night is really poor behaviour. Hope the headlines are worth it.

But it wasn’t just fans who were offended by the comment Rita made either.
Fellow MMA fighter and Conor’s sparring partner Artem Lobov posted a brutal response post to set the record straight.
“Sorry Rita, Burgers are nice but not when a man has steak at home,” he wrote.

Rita was actually at the awards with her rumoured boyfriend, Andrew Watt, however, fans were uncomfortable with how close the two looked in photos, and the disrespect in Rita’s comments.
Rita has yet to respond to the major backlash.
