Natalie Portman recently spoke about her interaction with Rihanna and the effect of the latter’s uplifting words on her as she went through a divorce from her former husband Benjamin Millepied. The Black Swan star shed light on the same during her guest appearance on the Monday, July 15 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Portman, who finalized her divorce from her husband of 11 years in February, mentioned that meeting the singer during Paris Fashion Week was an "amazing experience."
“I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she's a bad b**ch,” she said.
Jimmy Fallon then stood and clapped for the actress while agreeing with her and then screened a clip of the interaction at Fashion Week.
