“#Rita Ora Apologizes For ‘Inexcusable’ Birthday Party During UK Lockdown — And Pays A HEFTY Fine For It!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nCelebs really think the pandemic doesn\u2019t app<\/a>ly to them, huh?<\/p>\n

Throughout the nearly nine-month crisis, the rich and famous have been criticized again and again for flouting quarantine rules and partying with pals. This time, at least, someone actually paid for it: Rita Ora<\/strong> was forced to shell out a hefty fine after throwing herself an indoor birthday bash, violating the UK\u2019s current lockdown rules.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, British tabloid The Sun<\/em> reported the pop star had hosted a soir\u00e9e at a Notting Hill restaurant attended by \u201cmore than 30 people\u201d (though a source for DailyMail.com<\/em><\/a>\u00a0later claimed only 7 people were in attendance). Per photos from The Sun<\/em>, guests included Cara Delevingne<\/strong> and her sister Poppy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An insider told the outlet:<\/p>\n

\u201cRita and her sister came to the restaurant first, all dolled up and clearly looking forward to a good night. There were a number of guests, all dressed up very glamorously, and everyone entered the building through the back, with security watching the front to make sure no one else went in. It went on until the early hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After news<\/a> broke of the Black Widow<\/em> singer\u2019s thoughtless actions, she took to Instagram<\/strong> to apologize to fans. In a message on her IG story, she wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cHello 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\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let\u2019s pause here for a second, shall we? \u201cAttended a gathering\u201d is a pretty passive way of saying hosted a party<\/em>, particularly when due to lockdown (which was very much still in effect, \u201cmisguided\u201d notions aside) someone would have had to negotiate with the restaurant to open up and hold the event.<\/p>\n
