Last week, CBS decided to pull Rihanna from the opening intro of their Thursday Night Football program due to the ongoing Ray Rice situation, and essentially punishing her for being a victim of domestic violence. That obviously didn't sit well with RiRi, and this morning, she took to her Twitter to blast the network for the entire situation, and revealed that the network wanted to run her intro for this week's game on Thursday night.

Not only did Rihanna straight up say no, but she called out the network for punishing her for this situation. The intro was set to feature Rihanna and Jay Z's song "Run This Town" and a special narration from Don Cheadle. No word yet on what the network has planned to replace the intro for the rest of the season.

CBS you pulled my song last week, now you wanna slide it back in this Thursday? NO, Fuck you! Y'all are sad for penalizing me for this.
