Rita Ora Performs for Thousands at Sydney's Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade

Rita Ora is back in front of an audience!

The 30-year-old singer performed on stage in front of 35,000 people during the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday (March 6) in Sydney, Australia.

The parade usually happens along Oxford Street, but it was held at the Sydney Cricket Ground this year to make sure COVID-19 restrictions and contact tracing requirements were followed.

Australia is back to living life like normal for the most part because there are barely any cases of coronavirus in the country. Throughout the entire pandemic, there have only been 29,030 reported cases and 909 deaths in the country. The United States is currently at 29.6 million cases and over 536,000 deaths.

Rita is in Australia while working on the new season of The Voice, on which she is a coach.

Rita Ora Accused of Paying Almost $7,000 to the Restaurant That Hosted Her Lockdown Birthday Party

Rita Ora is being accused of offering to pay nearly $7,000 for her birthday party, held during one of UK’s Coronavirus lockdowns, at the restaurant Casa Cruz.

The manager of the restaurant confessed to the police that Rita’s team approached them about having seven people at the party for “drinks and nibbles.” The manager said he wanted to help “facilitate” and admitted he was “greedy” in doing so since gatherings are against lockdown protocols, TMZ reports.

Rita has since apologized for hosting the party, which was attended by some celebrities. You can read her full apology note right here.

The UK is still facing large lockdowns as a result of the spread of COVID-19. So far, Rita has not responded to this new update to this story.

Rita Ora Forgot She Once Dated Rob Kardashian

Rob Kardashian and Rita Ora briefly dated in 2012 and it seems like she totally forgot about it!

“Oh, I forgot about that,” the 30-year-old entertainer told The Sunday Times when asked about dating him in a new interview. “It was very short-lived. I was so young It was fun. It was very, very fun, I guess. That’s all I remember.”

Well, the relationship did not seem to end amicably. We went all the way back to 2012 and dug up what Rob tweeted about Rita in December of 2012. The pair were linked from the summer of 2012 until December of that same year.

Meanwhile, Rita was in hot water in the past weeks after she hosted a small gathering for her November 2020 birthday amid the pandemic.

Rita Ora Banned From Radio Station for Breaking Lockdown Orders

Rita Ora is getting blacklisted at radio.

The 30-year-old “Anywhere” singer has been banned by Radio Exe breakfast show presenter Ben Clark for breaking lockdown restrictions with a gathering of 30 friends at a restaurant in London over the weekend amid the pandemic, for which she faces a potential penalty.

She has since called it a “serious and inexcusable error of judgment” based on a “spur of the moment decision.”

On Tuesday (December 1), Ben Clark told listeners after playing her song “I Will Never Let You Down” that he will not be playing her music in the foreseeable future.

“I can’t speak for any other Radio Exe presenter, as of now for the foreseeable future, I’m not playing any of her songs,” he explained.

Rita Ora Apologizes for Hosting 'Small Gathering' for Birthday Amid UK Lockdown

Rita Ora has issued an apology for holding a gathering for her 30th birthday amid lockdowns in the UK.

“Hello all, I attended a small gathering with some friends to celebrate my 30th birthday. It was a spur of the moment decision made with the misguided view that we were coming out of lockdown and this would be OK,” Rita posted on her Instagram Story on Monday (November 30).

“I’m deeply sorry for breaking the rules and in turn understand that this puts people at risk. This was a serious and inexcusable error of judgment. Given the restrictions, I realise how irresponsible these actions were and I take full responsibility. I feel particularly embarrassed knowing first hand how hard people have worked to combat this terrible illness and being fully aware of the sacrifices that people and businesses have made to help keep us all safe. Even though this won’t make it right, I want to sincerely apologise.” Read Rita‘s entire statement in the gallery of this post.

The Sun published photos of several celebs in attendance at the affair, held at Casa Cruz restaurant on Saturday (November 28) in London, England. Cara and Poppy Delevingne were photographed, as well as Rita‘s sister Elena and her BFF Vas Morgan.

Right now in England, there is a lockdown preventing anyone from meeting with more than one member of their household. Police are issuing fines, and the lockdown is over tomorrow.

Police said in a statement, “Police were called at 21:10 on Saturday, 28 November, to reports of a potential breach of Covid regulations at a commercial premises in Clarendon Road, W11. Officers attended and carried out enquiries at the scene but found no indication of any offence being committed at the time. Officers continue to assess the allegations and are liaising with the local authority regarding a potential breach of regulations at the premises. Enquiries continue.”
