RITA Ora's record label shrugged off claims they "didn't like" her kissing boyfriend Taika Waititi AND Thor star Tessa Thompson last month.
The singer was spotted sharing a steamy three-way kiss with Taika, 45, and Tessa, 37, on a balcony in Australia.

An alleged source "who worked closely" with Rita told Australia's The Daily Telegraph: "They didn't like the behaviour, is what I heard."
However, a representative for Warner Music said when asked about the comments: "Rita is an incredible and hard-working artist, and we loved having her in Australia.
"We look forward to having her back here soon."

In photos obtained by The Sun Taika affectionately cuddled Tessa and Rita and Tessa locked lips too.
Rita - who is currently in Los Angeles - and Taika went public in April at the premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.
They were spotted together inside the Sydney Opera House.
Taika split from his wife, film producer Chelsea Winstanley, in 2018 following seven years of marriage and they share two daughters, Te Hinekāhu, eight, and Matewa Kiritapu, five.

Rita and Taika first sparked rumours they were dating after they were pictured embracing on a night out.
A source previously told The Sun: "They've been a couple since early March but kept things low key.
"However, all their friends know about the relationship - they're really into each other.”
