Rihanna is taking her former accountants to court over the huge losses from her bank balances, naming two employees individually for their involvement in the loss.
The star is launching a legal campaign against Berdon LLP, and specifically their employees Michael Mitnick and Peter Gounis, for bad management of her income between 2005 and 2010.
"Between 2005 and 2010, Rihanna suffered significant losses due to defendants' financial mismanagement and other acts and omissions," says an official statement from Rihanna's legal team.
The singer has already had a tough week, having lost her grandmother to cancer. She is due to perform at this weekend's Wireless festival in London - but having earlier this week cancelled a slot at Spain's Rock In Rio festival, fans are worried she may likewise pull out of her London performance.
She was also accused of being drunk at a show in Sweden, which was later revealed to have taken place on the same day as her grandmother's passing.
