Rihanna hasn’t commented over her alleged attack by Chris Brown yet, but a picture paints a thousand words.
And most of those words seem to be ‘Ow’. A police photo apparently of Rihanna taken after her supposed fight with Chris Brown has emerged online and, as you’d expect of a photo of a young girl with a busted lip and bruises all over her face, it doesn’t make for pleasant viewing.
However, as awful as it is, the Rihanna photo isn’t nearly as woefully unflattering as the one of Chris Brown we’ve been running all week. So that’s probably something.
One of the most interesting things about this Chris Brown/ Rihanna affair is the small, slightly deluded army of Chris Brown fans who are determined to defend Chris Brown’s right to allegedly smack Rihanna in the mouth until the day they die.
When Chris Brown was arrested, his fans said that he couldn’t have possibly hit Rihanna – and if he did it was probably because she gave him an STD, citing the law that says you’re allowed to punch women in the face if they make your penis a bit itchy. And then, when it emerged that Chris Brown might have hit Rihanna in the past, they still wouldn’t stop defending him, in one case suggesting that Rihanna probably deserved it because of her ‘funny voice’.
So it’ll be interesting to see how the Chris Brown fans react to the Rihanna photo that was leaked online last night. TMZ has published a photo of what appears to be Rihanna taken by police after the alleged attack. The tattoos in the photos are the same as Rihanna’s and the injuries match up perfectly with police reports from after the attack – clearly showing a split lip and a badly bruised and swollen head – which has led many to believe that the photo is genuine.
Not that the LAPD is going to officially confirm anything, though – but, as E! Online reports, the police are investigating how the Rihanna photo came to see the light of day in the first place:
“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. The department has yet to publicly identify Rihanna as the alleged victim in Brown’s case. “A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”
Regardless of how the Rihanna photo was leaked, though, it’s an undeniably horrifying image. But it’s not all bad – now the photo has shown the world the extent of Rihanna’s injuries, it’s bound to only engender more sympathy for her. Not only that, but it’ll help to continue the public debate over domestic violence that Chris Brown’s arrest started.
And what’s more, if Rihanna wanted to make any money out of this we’re almost positive that Savlon would sign her up as its poster girl, although that’s a terrible thing to say and we’re shocked that you’d even suggest that.
chrisbrownfan says
im a chris brown fan….dnt care what happened that night i dnt even believe thats rihanna in the pic it lukz nutin lyk her and the tatoo looks fake also the injuries do not look lyk injuries youd get off some1 who punches you….no offence but this whole case dosn’t even make sence I mean theres a million new stories being made ALL the time I’m dying to know what really happened to but i don’t go round making up stories so until march 5th when Chris Browns trial is held i’m not making any judgement so chris for now i’m still a fan!
magnetite says
That’s right, chrisbrownfan. The Broon Landings (when his fist landed on her face repeatedly) were faked. It was all done on a soundstage. Its a conspiracy.
“This one small slap for a Brown, but one giant grief for Rhianna-kind.”
Also the shadows are in the wrong place.

Julian Mentat says
Chrisbrownfan, May I ask you a question? I’m genuinely curious about what goes on in your head.
You posted a message here; that means you want to communicate. Right?
But you deliberately misspelt half the words and left us scratching our heads. That can only mean one thing; you DON’T want to communicate!
Can you explain your dual, opposing natures? Is it a werewolf kind of deal?

Don’t be dis-rasputin FanBrownChris he’ll pop a cake in your ass.
magnetite says
Hey Harry, I knew someone called Chris Browfuck at school. We were in a kind of club. Do you know him? It’d be nice to find out how he’s getting on. Pass on the message for me, will you?
Sincerely,
John Chinwank
BR says
Making excuses for him yet?
The fans are like the idol… awful
Judy says
no matter how the fighting started and who provoked it, Chris Brown went crazy on Rihanna…just look at her face http://tinyurl.com/RihannaFacePhoto…he needs some serious anger management counseling….the bottom line is Chris Brown hurt Rihanna and this is def true cause why else would he turn himself to the police and post bail? he obviously did something wrong
shooty* says
Joemamma and Harry both made me ROTFLOFL for opposite reasons. Classic posts. Don’t make me explain: i’ll pop a cake in yo’ ass. And that’s as real as Jenny from the block.
Joke Police says
Shooty* – would that be a birthday cake? ROF(L)
Rilzy says
Yes. The photo so isn’t Rihanna and that is precisely why the LAPD is launching an investigation.
The fact of the matter is that he hit her – he beat the fuck out of her, and I find it hard to reconcile with the fact that there are people trying to make him out to be something other than the monster he is.
I don’t think anyone should pick on anyone weaker than they are.
So if a dainty, small dude was dating a two hundred pound woman – there was no amount of provoking he should be able to do which would make her beat the fuck out of him like that.
When you are bigger you have the advantage of blocking and deflecting blows without causing damage like that. Besides, we’ve all seen the photos of him haven’t we? Not a scratch on him. I hope she’s not idiotic and goes back to him, then they’d both be on my black list.
Someone needs to teach these fucking punks that real men pick on people their size.
Keepit realwoman says
Everyone is on Chris Brown ass well I’m a real woman, so I hope that everyone listen. I understand that men not suppose to hit women, but women shouldn’t be able to hit men and get away with it. I always tell my daughters don’t hit anyone if you don’t want to be hit. Rihanna should be honest and say if she was hitting him, and Chris should be honest about hitting her. I don’t think that the public should black list either of them for this, cause even though it was wrong it was something they/youngsters both can learn from. Please I hope that everyone not judge Chris Brown or Rihanna too hard because after all they are young and I’m sure everyone have done something in they life thats bad you wish you can take back or no one find out about before, so just let them learn and live. I’m not a fan or either of theirs. I’m a fan of being fair and keeping life real.
Keepit realman says
Yes, Rihanna should be honest and admit to kung-fu kicking Chris Brown in the face, deliberately infecting him with the ebola virus and tricking George Bush into getting us bogged down in an illegal war in Iraq. I heard she did all these things on the internet and we have to look at both sides of the story. Don’t judge until you know the truth people – she was probably asking for it lol.
Keepit insaneman says
Yeah, and there is no way that photo of Rhianna is real, it is well fake. I saw a photo of Chris Brown the other day and that was fake too. He looks all normal and uninjured. Yeah right. That guy got seriously mashed up. DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH LOL.
chewy says

You call the police and they will inforce the law not Chris Brown if she hit him. If she did hit him first she got 10 times the beating back than she gave him…is that justice to you? I hope your daughter never slaps a strange man across the face for grabbing her breast or pinching her ass because he then has the right (according to you) to beat, bite, and choke her till she need hospitalization.
If a man can’t take a hit from a women his nothing but a bitch anyway.
Just-A-Dad says
CHRIS BROWN IS A PUSSY, anyone who helps this A-HOLE by purchasing his music or protecting his image like P-Donkey is a fellow woman beater! If someone touched my daughter like this, the fish in the vast ocean would be eating well for dinner!
tica boo says
rihanna in my oppinion is a fool!!! once a women beater, always a women beater. she does not realize that!! if that was me, he would be the one hospitalized, if not dead!!!!!!!
ashley says
why is every taking her side she had some part of it to not just him. she is not the only victim in this case he is to.
E Franklin says
Really? That’s what you tell your daughters? My father always told me to be kind and considerate and thoughtful when dealing with other people, strangers or relatives, and to always be guided by how my actions might impact someone else’s feelings…
He also pointed out very, very clearly that if a man ever hits me for any reason whatsoever, I should not hesitate to blow his kneecaps off with a shotgun. Chris Brown doesn’t need our sympathy. He needs a kneecap removal. This would slow down any future woman-beating attempts.
To imagine some equivalency between Rhianna hitting Chris and Chris beating the crap out of her is to ignore the simple reality that Chris is much, much stronger than she is, and easily capable of deflecting pretty much any physical or verbal attack she might have initiated. That having been said, any many who would ever hit a woman is such a pathetic, worthless pig that he’d do it whether she hit him first or not, just to make himself feel less inadequate. Women in abusive relationships almost never have to do anything for the jerks they’re dating to feel justified in beating them.
F*ck Chris.
E Franklin says
Indeed!
