Rihanna Beaten Photo Leak Investigated By LAPD

February 20th, 2009 by Castina

The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an investigation to determine how the picture of Rihanna following her alleged brawl with R&B lover Chris Brown was leaked to the media late Thursday.

A photograph obtained by celebrity gossip site TMZ.com shows a close-up picture of a Rihanna’s bruised facedcovered with scratches and cuts and suffering a bruised lip.

“The photograph has the appearance of one taken during an official domestic violence investigation. The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” the LAPD said in a statement Thursday. “A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”

well.. if this is a real photo (which i think it is) than he beat her up pretty bad.. But do we really know the whole story? every detail? do we know exactly what happened for him to hurt her like this?

no..

so why don’t we all stop hating untill we know what really happened, and let those two have their lives.. and their own way of dealing with this, instead of everyone getting pissed at one another now because some support Chris and some support Rihanna..

If Rihanna decides to press charges (if she didn’t already) and it should go to court.. well..
I think Chris Brown should be held responsible for the concerts and appearances etc. she missed (as in paying for the income she missed) and i think he should be put in jail (and no buying himself out!) for attempted murder.. just lock him up for a good 20-30 years or so..

if she decides to deal with this some other way, so be it.. it’s her life, her face and her (ex)boyfriend.. idk.. maybe she still loves him.. *shrugs* who am i to judge..

whatever happens, you’ve got my blessing RiRi.. and i hope you get well soon.. xx

I still love Chris Browns music but other than that I hope he gets his ass kicked. And I hope he learns from this next time he may not be so lucky. He’ll go to jail and get bi*ch slapped and ass f**ked.

Most of you writing that it’s subject to opinion wether or not she deserved this, ARE FREAKIN IDIOTS. He touched her, she could have said whatever vile things she wanted to this man, but he touched her. Which is a violation of the law!! He cannot physically attack her and expect sympathy! He didnt have one scratch on his person, how can you fools possibley say that there could be more to this story? What a bunch of dumbasses you are. Do you honestly think that if it were your daughter who was beat like this that you would feel the same? Maybe if it were you you wouldnt care, but what if it were your kid? Im sure you would want to see his ass burn. Rhianna has an opportunity to help many young girls suffering in dangerous relationships. But much like you fools on this site, Im sure she will get back with him….classic. This man had total disregard for his career, her career, he was so enraged he didnt care about the police or her safety. HE wanted to hurt her, and that’s all he little brain could think while he was slamming her head against his car window. He could have stopped the car and called the police if she didnt want to leave his car, but no, he decided to brutally attack her for her refusal. Yeah, he’s only 18? Hmmm…give him a good five to ten years, let’s see how seasoned he is then. Not to mention, what if he wasn’t rich and famous. Hed be just another beater, and noone would care about the little girls he hurt. He deserves to be made an example of. And if Rhianna won’t, LOs angeles, my home, should.
