Rob Kardashian stands up for ex-girlfriend Rita Ora as she's bombarded with hate

In case you missed it, Rita Ora has been forced to come out as bisexual after copping major criticism for her new song "Girls."

The song, featuring Charli XCX, Bebe Rexha and Cardi B has been shunned by fans for its lyrics: "Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls" and "I ain’t one-sided, I’m open-minded, I’m fifty-fifty and I’m never gonna hide it."

Stars like Kehlani and Hayley Kiyoko have come out and called the song "harmful", which urged Rita to issue an apology where she explains that the song is of a personal experience, and that she's had relationships with both men and women.

However now, her ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian has come to her defence.
