Rihanna has filed a countersuit against former personal trainer Cindy Percival.
The 'Rude Boy' singer - who is being sued by Cindy for $26,144.14 worth of unpaid wages from 2009 - has now hit back in another court case, claiming the exercise expert took $26,244.63 from her.
In her claims, Rihanna suggests she gave more than $24,000 upfront to Cindy for services in the future, but never had the money returned when she fired the trainer.
Cindy previously claimed she was hired by the 22-year-old star to perform ''exclusive personal training services'' for $1,500 a day, but wasn't paid for a number of weeks in September and October.
Rihanna has previously discussed her exercise regime, confessing the need for a trainer to keep her motivated.
She said: ''I stay in shape with a lot of hard work and a lot of running on the treadmill. Cardio is the key. I have a personal trainer who travels with me if we have a big event coming up. I work out every day but I need a trainer to motivate me - I don't find it much fun working out on my own.''
