Jourdan Dunn took a cue from Beyonce and confirmed yesterday that she’s “No Angel” and will not be walking in the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show this year. 

According to Vogue, in a now-deleted tweet Jourdan wrote, “Feeling so much better about not doing BS…sorry I mean VS now that Rihanna isn’t doing it also.”

Yikes.

The news comes just days after Rihanna announced that her scheduled performance during the fashion show would be canceled.

The rumor mills are churning following Dunn’s bold tweet. Outlets are “reporting” that Dunn and Rihanna’s choice to not participate in the the show are related, saying Rihanna chose to bow out after learning that Dunn was replaced by Kendall Jenner, who didn’t audition. 

Rihanna’s camp however, cites a need to complete her album as the reason for dropping out of the performance. 

There is no indication that the two situations are related.
