*The FCC was flooded with complaints about Rihanna‘s halftime performance at Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12 — with much of the criticism saying her set was too raunchy.
As TMZ reports, some viewers believe “the lyrics and choreography were way too sexualized,” the outlet writes noting that some complaints compared the performance to watching porn.
According to TMZ, there were over 103 complaints made to the Federal Communications Commission regarding the Big Game and a majority of them were about the singer’s halftime show.
One viewer in California reportedly wrote, “I don’t care what someone worships but children shouldn’t be exposed to pornography and as an adult I don’t wish to see it … Where has decency gone? How about respect for others and self?”

TMZ notes that much of the outrage is over the background dancers, whose overly sexualized choreography and gestures “were patently offensive and completely inappropriate for children.”
One viewer in Florida complained that Rihanna “ spread her a** cheek at the crack. She rubbed her pants where her labia were three times.”
Meanwhile, as we reported earlier, more people watched Rihanna’s halftime show than they did the actual game.
Fox Sports’ public relations account revealed in a Tweet that the Super Bowl averaged 113 million viewers across all platforms. Rihanna’s halftime performance averaged 118.7 million viewers and was the second-most-watched halftime show behind Katy Perry’s performance in 2015.
The Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 12 marked Rihanna’s first solo appearance in seven years. The global superstar served up a melody of her hits that has led to a major boost in the streaming of her music, Variety reports.
