Photo of singer Rihanna
Reportedly TMZ has obtained this photo of Pop singer Rihanna beaten after Chris Brown allegedly attacked her after leaving the Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Party and prior to the 51st Grammy Awards which the two were suppose to be attending and performing at.

The picture shows Rihanna with swollen lips, scratches to her face and contusions on her forehead and both sides of her head.

Chris Brown was arrested February 8, and was charged with making criminal threats. The singer was released on $50,000 bail.

Since the incident, Rihanna has yet to speak, however family members have been talking with media about the unfortunate incident.

Ronald Fenty, Rihanna’s father confirmed that the two has broken-up and said in a statement, “She doesn’t want to speak to Chris. She is being very brave about things and said that she will be back on stage performing soon.”

According to Rihanna’s cousin, Yvonne Fenty, the singer’s injuries wasn’t as bad as people were making it out to be, but now this picture may make many argue to differ.

Meanwhile, Rihanna is stated to be in her homeland of Barbados resting and spending time with family and friends while investigators complete their investigation and Chris Brown prepares for his court date on March 5, 2009.

Now the question that everyone has on their mind and on their blogs/websites is how the photo was leaked to TMZ.

Chris Brown is a PIG. I hope he gets what he deserves. I was a HUGE fan of his & have deleted every one of his songs off of my computer & ipod. He’s a worthless piece of shit douchebag PIG. He needs to ge the shit beaten out of him while he rots in prison. I hope and pray that people of character all over the world will be finished with Chris. It would be the only way that he’ll be able to change. If he goes back to the fame, money, prestige - there will be no lesson learned. As an Image Award Winner (particularly), but multi-award winner that’s heavily endorsed, Chris is supposed to be an example for others. Some example. If the endorsements keep coming in, the fans keep supporting, Chris will learn that he can get away with being a woman-beater and it’s perfectly acceptable. Shameful!!!!!

Chris Brown should have gone to jail. I feel really bad for Rihanna and I think that her music is great and Rihanna it DOES NOT madder if you threw his keys out the widow. He should NOT have hitten you in the first place. He does not desever to be loved again. But if that is your choice so be it. I mean no one can not make you love him anymore. I mean I loved somebody one time and then they punched me in the stomache and I hated him for the rest of the school year until I realised that it was worth it. I loved him. So you can go on with your life with him if you choose to and that is your decition. I mean it was love at first site for you and Chris but I mean that is your choice. I love you Rihanna and you are my biggest star and I wish you a happy thanksgiving and a WONDERFUL Christmas!!!!!!!!

Love Emma McMahon
