U.K. citizens are reportedly in an uproar after Rita Ora ditched her hometown of London for a farmhouse rental property over 100 miles away despite the mandatory lockdown, according to a new report.
The "Ritual" singer, 29, has been staying at a rental vacation home since March 21, prior to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's stay-at-home order, an unnamed agent for the singer informed The Sun.

Rita's crew has also been accused of using drones to "follow" residents in the area and, in one instance, the singer's pals were shouted at by a farmer for crossing their private property.

Another neighbor claimed her 7-year-old son was "reduced to tears" when Ora's security staff yelled at him for being on a public path. The mother wrote that a drone allegedly from Ora's property followed her and her son "minutes later" as they walked away.

Friends of the star, who were not named, alleged that Ora has been holed up at the vacation rental working on music and denied reports of any irresponsible behavior.
One pal was quoted as saying Ora is taking the coronavirus lockdown "deadly serious" and is self-isolating in quarantine.

On Monday, the British singer-songwriter announced she would be taking part in an upcoming special titled "One World: Together at Home" that will benefit the World Health Organization.

"She and her older sister Elena are among the 750,000 people who have applied to help out and prevent this illness coming through our door and overwhelming the NHS. They'll be among the people who deliver medical supplies, collect prescriptions, check on the elderly and make phone calls to lonely and vulnerable members of the community."
