RIHANNA FINED $47,000
For Pulling a Lindsay

Rihanna just learned a hard lesson ... acting like an irresponsible Lindsay Lohan can cost you a LOT of money -- in this case $47,050.

TMZ broke the story ... Rihanna's ex-accountants have been trying to get the singer to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit she filed against them. Rihanna claims they mismanaged her money and owed her millions, but the accountants claim Rihanna's the one who's at fault.

According to the accountants -- Berdon LLP -- Rihanna's been blowing off deposition after deposition (Lindsay-style) costing them boatloads in attorneys' fees, so Berdon asked the judge to punish the singer.

And this month, the judge agreed, fining Rihanna $47,050 for Berdon's legal bills.

On top of the fine, the judge also ordered Rihanna to sit for a deposition once and for all on August 28 ... and if she doesn't show up, he might dismiss her case entirely.

There's still hope.

Only tha queen! She can use the royalties from one of her top 40 hits to pay off the fines

Poor dat, time for her to take her responsibility, it's sad when you ruin your own reputation and business like that. Not that she'll care about the money, she can miss it, but the people are getting fed up with the behaviour

How the hell are you the one filing charges and yet too irresponsible to make it to the depositions.

This isn't going to ruin her reputation

It might in terms of business though.

I mean, who wants to invest time and money into someone who won't even turn up to the depositions in a lawsuit she's brought to court, and then gets fines for it?

Plus, if her case is thrown out, they will sue her ass for PR damage, slander and more legal fees, and she could be down a couple of million because whatever judge in that case will most likely take this situation under consideration.

My fave is being an idiot. Nothing new here.

What the hell, Rihanna.

She's the one who started this case in the first place and she doesn't even bother to go through the motions to try and get the money she claims she is owed.

Mess tbh

Da beezness!

She's not very bright, is she?

BadKidBrodie

She probably has more than that hiding under her lace fronts

Why wouldn't you show up to your own case?

The judge is being awfully lenient with her, too, usually if you don't show up once you're dismissed.

No. "Bright" is reaching.

Dumb, like fave like ....

How are you going to be the one suing and getting fined

Anyways, I hope the judge sees that she's wasting their time and throws out this frivolous case. These poor accountants who did no wrong, she probably ruined their lives.
