The Breakfast Club - Beware of the Stans (Rihanna's Shooter Suspect Update)

Episode Date: March 11, 2026

In this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren checks in from behind the scenes as she prepares to travel to South by Southwest and the HBCU Battle of the Bands in Charlotte. Even with a packed schedule, the show must go on—and there’s a lot happening in entertainment and culture right now. First, Loren breaks down disturbing new developments in the case involving a woman accused of shooting at Rihanna’s Los Angeles home. Police audio from the arrest has been released, and more details are emerging about the suspect’s mental health struggles and social media posts targeting multiple celebrities. The incident raises serious questions about celebrity safety, fan culture, and access to firearms. Loren also reflects on how moments like this change the way we look at celebrity interactions with fans and the media, referencing past moments involving stars like Justin Bieber. Then the conversation shifts to the Academy Awards race, where Michael B. Jordan and Timothée Chalamet are both in the spotlight for Best Actor. Loren explains why Oscar predictions are leaning toward Michael B. Jordan—and how comments Chalamet made about theater and ballet have sparked backlash among some voters.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BreakfastClubPower1051FMSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit About everything and everybody Do you hear that excuse? I don't know if you're going to lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot Hey y'all, what's up? It's Lauren the Rosa And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa

this is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Okay, y'all, so checking in behind the scenes of the grind. I am actually preparing right now to head to, it's going to be a crazy next couple of days. I am preparing to head to Texas for South by Southwest. It will be my first time there. So, of course, I would be bringing you guys.

all of the good stuff from South by Southwest. And then I'm going to be heading to Charlotte, North Carolina. This is actually my first time in Charlotte, too. This is my first time in Charlotte, like, where I'm actually getting to, like, be there and experience Charlotte and, like, you know, all of that stuff. I think I was there for maybe about an hour or two before, like just flying in through their different airports.

But, yes, this is my first time as an adult in Charlotte. And I'm doing a battle of. a big HBCU battle of the bands there this Sunday, the 15th, which is also Oscar Sunday. So it's going to be super busy because y'all know we tuned in and we tapped in. It's a countdown into the Oscars. So, yeah, I'm literally just running around getting all things, all life, all everything together for that. Okay? Amen.

So, yes, busy. Busy behind the scenes of the grind. But blessed to be busy and, you know, grateful to be busy still. but that's just a process because whenever I'm traveling for work, everything still must go on. Like, the show still must go on. We still got to know what's going on. We still got to know what the latest is.

I'm always working on stories and exclusive angles. And just trying to figure out how I can run it up, how I can not run it up just like, you know, make it some money. But I'm always thinking about how I can optimize. Like, what is a new angle on a story? Who can I talk to on this? How can I personify the moment? How can I, you know, all of the things.

So moving around while doing that is not the easiest because I've learned that I'm such a sit down, being my schedule, being my practice type of person. But with this job, I've been blessed to be able to go out and do things like this. So I'm excited. And what I normally do is so that I can stay focused on stories and still deliver you guys a great show on Monday morning after being at South Bicef West and being in North Carolina and just doing. all these things, right? I try to, and I'm not the biggest planner, but I've had to learn to become it. I overplan, overprepared. So the packing and everything is beginning now. I am also planning like, okay, what content will I be able to do while I'm in these places? And how can I bring you guys that in real time? And if you, for any of our other episodes, and I'm traveling to

places, whether it has been the Femit Forward Cruise or Ghana or shoot, I even took y'all to court for the ditty trial. Like, anytime I can take you guys actually into the scene or wherever I'm at, I do it. So that helps a lot. So make sure you guys tune in for those upcoming episodes, those conversations, and actually go. This is a podcast, but lowriders, y'all know I love to treat this like a vlog because, you know, I'm a vlog girl by nature that, you know, the vlogging is all of the things I used to love when I could do it more often. So y'all come everywhere with me. So stay locked for that.

Speaking of all things moving and changing, let's get into the latest because after her house was shot up 10 times, at least 10 times. I think Rihanna is getting on up out of L.A. And I'm my mad at her. Let's get into the latest. So on our last episode, if you guys have not listened, please go take a listen to that episode. I broke some exclusive news to you guys as it was being talked about in real time. So police released a report to media letting us know that the woman who was responsible for shooting at Rihanna's home at least 10 times, because it could have been more, named Ivana Lissette Ortiz, 35-year-old woman, was arrested. Now, I told you guys in our last episode that there have been a ton of videos and social media posts circulating that police did not confirm were hurt.

So at the time, I did not feel comfortable with using them within the episode. However, Ivana's husband has come out and spoken to several different outlets and just talked a bit about the fact that Ivana wasn't doing okay. She had been placed in a psych ward down in Florida where she is from back in 2023. I lost her custody of her child in 2024. all of this because of a mental health issue that she battles, some schizophrenic-style things. And it paints the picture that I think a lot of us knew, especially when I, you know, you're talking about someone being arrested and then being booked on over $10 million worth of bail for attempted murder and a robbery and, you know, homicide department are investigating it.

So motive there is pretty clear, although we haven't heard it directly from the police officers. We can kind of understand what they're thinking is. And even though the DA hasn't actually charged her with these things officially. So that was the last conversation we had. Now, since then, there has been so much more that has come out. So there are tons of these Facebook posts where she targets Rihanna. She targets Kim Kardashian. She targets Cardi B.

And we'll play some of those just so that you guys can kind of understand the extent of how not, like, in her mind or out of it, she was. But I want to talk about a new police audio that was released. Andy, the suspect's a female Hispanic blonde hair in grades. The suspect number one is a female Hispanic blonde hair 30 years. This is in 1951. She's going to be wearing a cream color. 781 Michelle Marie Ferguson

license status expired that last All white green color 71 roger 9441 is asking is there an unit already following the vehicle

or did they need someone to follow up you? Just made the left turn okay good plate they're making a right turn into the mall parking lot into the regal and they're going to be out of my site You guys can call on forward on the text. You know there's much forward.

I venture over and turn into the mall parking lot of the region. And be advised, this is a good shooting suspect. You can expect I'd probably call. That they have the vehicle. Driver is out on his knees or they're approaching the vehicle now. Sure is that at the vehicle. You're approaching the vehicle. But this new police audio that was released shows the police officers in their joint effort.

to arrest Ivana. And now, police have been saying since the first response to the media went out that she was arrested without incident. And in this audio, you basically hear that she's arrested without incident because she eventually gets out of her car and just gets down on her knees, which is honestly like, this whole thing doesn't seem real, but unfortunately it is. but when you hear something like that, that sounds like the ending to like a chase in a movie. But basically, once Ivana leaves Rihanna's home, the shooting has happened. People have called the police. There are so many police cars in the area that she's riding through. They're all reaching back out to dispatch and saying, hey, we see the car.

Do you guys need some help? And there's this joint takedown effort that flawlessly happens. So before we get to that, I want you guys to hear just some of Ivana's Facebook post. So you can just hear how out of her mind she was. The way that Rihanna wants to kill me, she's the one who wants to kill me. The way that Rihanna wants to kill me shows that we're not going to show this right now. But this is my heart, Lord. and I am expecting and waiting in that beautiful time for you to show me what you're going to do

and how you're going to deliver this promise. It's in my heart and it's in my vitality and I'm very, very grateful to you for your abundant graces. Listen, Rihanna, when you die, God is taking me to my future. You want to kill me. Shut the fuck up, okay? Shut the fuck up. Yeah, she's a witch. She's a witch.

I'm a watchman. She's a witch. Get that stupid girl out of here. Okay? And it really makes you think about like celebrity and stand culture and all of that so differently, right? Because when you think about Rihanna, she has the Navy, which are her fans. Rihanna is like one of those celebrities that like everybody loves. Everybody falls in love with.

Everybody becomes a fan of. And she has such diehard fans and has for decades. and Rihanna, and this also makes you think about, is there now a new level of like celebrities and what they can and can't do when I'm talking about running around all weekend for South by Southwest. And I don't even consider myself a celebrity, but when you're interacting with people, it really does make you think about and move differently about how you have conversations when it comes to celebrities and what they do to protect themselves and how.

they interact and why. Like, let's think, like, for instance, like Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber is a person who, same way as Rihanna has had fans that have literally grown up with him since he was young. He's grown up in the industry. He has stands. He has people that have feel so connected to him because of that, who have went through everything with him from the issues he was having with police at one time to, you know,

new music, to new baby, new wife. But Justin Bieber has always vocally. and in his actions, never been one that cared for like the paparati and people violating his privacy. Just a few days ago, there was a video of Justin Bieber leaving out of a location and he was pissed that the cameras were there. And filming him and his wife as they were getting to the back of a car, he threw a water bottle at them. And every time people talk about Justin Bieber and his issues with the media is always a conversation of like, Justin Bieber goes crazy all the time when he comes to the media. Justin Bieber goes off on the media.

I think after something like this, the conversation needs to be Justin Bieber does things to protect himself and let it be known that he doesn't want people in his private space. Rihanna's the type of person where I've seen, you know, cameras and especially when me used to, when I used to work at TMZ, I remember one time we ran into Rihanna and she was leaving a grocery store and she was down to talk and she you know what i mean like she's a whole lot more of a different type of celebrity she's approachable she's relatable and i mean you would hope you want to say i hope something like this doesn't change her because for a lot of celebrities and creatives and

artists they we thrive off of the people like i love being out and about with the people who know what's going on being on the ground understand like you know all those things but it is a scary situation when you see something like this where it's like Rihanna could have literally been hurt if not hurt killed by a woman who in our reality isn't even mentally stable enough to understand the actions that she's doing. So how dare we get upset at like a Justin Bieber or you know anybody who feels like I mean at Kanye West was going through it at one point too. Um who feels like they need to do more to protect their privacy. Um, um, Yeah, man, this is such a crazy conversation to be having around Rihanna.

My latest episode is with Hilary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-platinum artist. Hillary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood, and releasing our first record in over 10 years. We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry

and stay grounded through every. every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this picture, and that's not reality a lot of the times for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life, and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the Iheart Radio app. or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies

is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture. the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast,

Doubt the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived in, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, The Case of Lucy Letby, on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. And there's a new report circulating that Rihanna has, you know, packed up and left L.A. There was a private jet that was leaving private airport in L.A. that is used for celebrities on their private jets and their private planes. Police are still outside of Rihanna's home. The investigation is still, it still continues. I'm not mad at her for getting a hell out of L.A.

If I was Rihanna, I probably would not be able to live in that house. because now we're also finding out she was in that house with her kids. From reports, A set Rocky was not home. She was there with her kids. Not for sure who else might have been in the home with her and the babies. But like, it's scary enough when you by yourself. But your kids are there as well too. And now you've got to kind of explain if they have questions.

You know what I mean? Because they're seeing these things. What's happening? The line between being a celebrity, being a person who builds all this fame and impact and influence and all of the good that you can do with it is amazing. But then there's always this like downside to it. That is so scary because it's like you're a person too. Rihanna is a person too.

But then you have people who are just not okay. And I think the bigger conversation in this is we're in the U.S. And a person like Yvonne Lizette Ortiz with obvious mental health issues, you know, with obvious issues that should have prevented her from being able to get a gun, not only got a gun, but reportedly got an AR-15. Like, that is a thought that it keeps, I can't get it out of my mind. It's like, how does she get her hands on a gun? That is, like, beyond scary.

And another thing that I think is also scary as well, too, is that you got to pray that there are not people out here that are copycats that want to go and do. like, oh my God, this is just such an ongoing conversation. You have the mental health aspect of it. You have the stand culture, fan culture, and, you know, celebrities wanting to, like, be connected and be one with their fans. But, like, now the safety, everything is so heightened because of social media, like, in access to people and to things that we typically wouldn't have access to.

Canadian women are looking for more. More into themselves, their businesses, their elective, leaders and the world around them. And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast. I'm Jennifer Stewart. And I'm Catherine Clark. And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.

So I'll keep you guys updated here. Definitely praying for Rihanna and her family. and all of this. And as we switch gears a bit, I mentioned to you guys that we are counting down to the Oscars. And you know what is happening right now, y'all? There is now a conversation. Well, I'm not even going to say there is now because one of the things that I also get upset about

is when we only start having conversations because certain negative things are happening. And I'm learning in the media. Speaking of media and learning and things, I'm learning in the media, that that is not the way things should go. But Michael B. Jordan, right? Michael B. Jordan and Timothy Shalame

are up against each other for a huge Oscar. Michael B. Jordan and Timothy Shalame are up against each other for Best Actor this year at the Oscars at the Academy Awards. And all of the odds are favoring Michael B. Jordan. So you have colshy.com, which gave Michael B. Jordan a 47% chance of winning the Oscar. Timothy Shalame has a 43% chance.

I know there's a study on Polly Market that also places Michael B. Jordan over Timothy Shalame. And if Sinner's movie sweeps the Oscars, they are literally going to, they've been making history, but baby is going to be even bigger. And now people are really upset. They're mad as hell at Timothy Shalame because of some comments he made when he was having a conversation with Matthew. McConnor, about theater and dance and ballet. And I don't know if he understands because he's young, but when you talk about the Academy Awards and movie making for real and cinema and all of these things that are so old school, Hollywood,

you are talking to the ballet community and the dancing and theater community. And he has pissed the people off, okay? And now people believe that this month. move that he just made that you guys are about to listen to will be if if michael b jordan already didn't have it and i and i know he he has it's been slated that he has predicted to win especially after taking home that actors award but if he didn't already have it in the bag timothy shallamay in this interview just tilled the deal let's take it and i don't want to be working in ballet or opera or you know things where it's like hey keep this thing alive even though like no one cares about

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All respect to the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. But, um, damn, I just took shots for no reason. That's not a shot. I hear what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.

Thank you guys so much for tuning in. It's been another episode of the latest with Lauren La Rosa. And, yes, counting down to the Oscars and counting down to all that are running around that I told you guys that I'm going to be doing this episode. And I'll be taking you guys into all of these experiences, because, I mean, what's the latest without you guys being on the beat in the pulse of some of the biggest moments happening in culture and entertainment, right? And I tell you guys every single episode,

y'all could be anywhere with any old body listening and talking about all these things. But you guys choose to be right here with me, my low riders. I appreciate you for that.
