BREAKING NEWS - LAPD INVESTIGATING LEAKED RIHANNA PHOTO

Rihanna rihannatmz.jpg

The LAPD just released this statement regarding the unauthorized release of the Rihanna photo TMZ "obtained" and posted on their site this evening:

    Unauthorized Release of Photograph

    Los Angeles: The unauthorized release of a domestic violence photograph immediately generated an internal investigation.

    At about 7 p.m. on February 19, 2009, the Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations Section began receiving numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris Brown. The photograph appeared on an entertainment website. 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 Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint.

    A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.

    Anyone with information concerning the unauthorized release of the photograph is asked to call, during regular business hours, (213) 485-4152. After-hours or on weekends, calls may be directed to our 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247). Callers may also text “CRIMES” with a cell phone or log on to www.lapdonline.org and click on Web Tips. When using a cell phone, all messages should begin with “LAPD.” Tipsters may remain anonymous.



Why would TMZ post this shot, knowing it could compromise Rihanna's case? Will their LAPD "source" be fired? ...

chris brown is an asshole piece of shit and it's good on him this shit was released but i feel bad for rihanna.

TMZ paid someone off in the police department to steal the photos. How else would they get it? The LAPD knew this woman is a celebrity. Why weren't the pics guarded more safely? When they say they take invasion of victim's privacy seriously, I doubt their words.

X17 done snitched on TMZ. Don't be mad cause you didn't get the pics first.

whoever leaked the photo was more then likely paid to do so.BUT im so glad they did because the public needed to see what Chris Brown really did.Now theres no denying what hes done.Before the photos release nobody new for 100% what her injuries were or looked like.What hes done is discusting.I hope his career is OVER!Scum!

well it looks fake to me,
dont think she wore her hair like that that day, the nose doesnt look like her's neither.
mayb am wrong.

i knew somethin was up.
some heads are gonna roll over this leak, they can't sweep it under the rug. there will be too much heat on em.
they might even go after tmz. either the cop who sold it or the guy at tmz - you can bet somebody, somewhere, is gonna talk to save their a**. (and cut a deal)



Posted by: Anonymous

these should not have been put out, i dont care if the publics nosy to find out how shes doing but she clearly doesnt want us to see how bad/good she is, she just wants to keep a low key so we should stop dwelling on the matter untill she releases a statement!

It's her. Look at the tattoo. The nose might be swollen too.

Rihanna must leave Chris Brown. Stop being silly and talk about love or what not. That man doesn't love you enough to respect you and protect you from serious harm.

Rihanna got all the resources and support to leave an asshole. Please do so. Think of those women who live with their spouses and boyfriends, they have to go back to the abusive home after every abusive incident, otherwise, where else can they sleep?

just a fight between two lovers, big deal!



Posted by: Patricia

It is her,take a normal photo of her taken before this incident,zoom it and compare it with this photo,compare her nose,eyebrows,cheeks,forehead etc. and you will realize that in this photo it's 100% Rihanna,no doubt it's her:|

You're just fucking stupid people to release such a private photo.



Posted by: INSIDER

TMZ PAID 1.2 MILLION FOR THE PHOTO! NOTHINGS FREE!



Posted by: Victoria

TMZ should not have published the photo.

Criminal charges should be brought againt them.

Note to Chris Brown - you have commited CAREER SUICIDE - ANY man that hits a woman is a spineless bitch.

Note to Robyn - if you have put up with this from Chris on prior instances - you are one weak woman.

Any woman that continues to stay with a man that assaults her on numerous occasions is beyond my comprehension



Posted by: HomeBoy

She looks better than most NIGGAZ I know



Posted by: chris brown

whoop that bitch haha she thought she was better than me, i sur showed her



Posted by: elpepe

that guy is dead.........and if TMZ should have not publish that pic , so is any other blog that have publish it........so x17 is to blame too.......



Posted by: Anonymous

It's not a " fight " between 2 lovers ! ,

Men don't hit women , that's assault !

a fight is words not fists !

wait until it's your ass or your sisters or your mom or your daughter getting beat and then tell me it's a : fight " and big deal , MORON !

REAL MEN don't do that ,

if he wants to fight go let him pick on someone his own size ! ,

it's pathetic that anyone would even try to justify this , publish it and all the pics so people can see what he did !!!!!!!!!!!!,

why hide it and let him deny it !

go to jail punk !

Stop bitching and crying about shit, X17. Boo hoo, you didn't get the picture first don't snitch on TMZ for obtaining it! I'm going to stop coming to your website, you guys are cry baby assholes.



Posted by: Naomi

Well, it all makes sense now. Somebody internally leaked the picture for a lot of money.

I can't say I'm sorry it leaked. Although she deserves privacy, there were so many Chris Brown apologists, let them see what his fists did to her. Let them see how cruel an Abuser can be.

I really hope she presses charges and that for once, an Abuser will get what's coming to him.

It's absolutely disgusting how so many Abusers get away with it.

My only issue with the photo is the tattoo on her left shoulder. I've never seen that tattoo on her before. If it is her it looks painful. But the new photos of her show that she's a fast healer...



Posted by: Anonymous

Opps never mind I just saw the pic of her the night before the alleged attack and I could see the shoulder tattoo... Yikes!



Posted by: Fred

This whole situation is so L.A. the police fumble, the prosecuitor can't decide what charges to file, the press stirs the pot with crap like you see on TMZ and x17 and the beat goes on.

When there is finally a trial (if there ever is one) the pictures if used as evidence will be part of the public record, my bet is that by that time no one will want to see them because there will be another "big story" invented or elevated by the yello press.

Chris: here is your future, you are sitting in a court room and poster size pictures like this one and I bet a lot of others worse than this will be on display. Your about to be forever painted with the results of your actions.

Well said



Posted by: I hate shitney and both of her fans

Fucking morons, it doesn't compromise a case. Go back to school and get your GED's. TMZ was stupid, but you guys are morons since you JUST SHOWED THE SAME PHOTO.



Posted by: Anonymous

Of course id doesn't look like Rihanna cause she's that badly beaten.
And for the person who said "it's just a fight between tow lovers" IT'S NOT
THAT'S CALLED AN ASSAULT dumbass



Posted by: Anonymous

It's her, no doubt about it. :( But the marks on the forehead are symetric. Weird. The nose is broken and her lips are badly hit too. Very sad.

Posted by: why chris?????? you piece of shit

The saddest part is that these pictures were taken after she regained consciousness but before the swelling and bruises set in, she prob. looked a lot worse the next day :(

Posted by: Bored with you Losers

YOU A$$ HOLES ARE THE MEANIST FORMS OF LOW-LIFE. DO YOU THINK YOUR COMMENTS ARE CUTE, OR SHARP, OR WITTY? THEY ARE JUST CRUEL AND MEAN. SADLY, YOUR SICK MIND IS SHOWING HOW LOW YOU ARE. YOU ARE JUST EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF SHIT-HEEL THAT CHRIS BROWN IS. YOU THINK IT IS GOOD TO BEAT UP A WOMAN? IT IS NEVER. YOU MUST BE VERY JUVENILE (LIKE CHRIS). SOMEDAY YOU MAY HAVE A BABY GIRL OF YOUR OWN. WHEN SHE IS BATTERED, BLOODIED, BRUISED AND BROKEN HOW WILL YOU FEEL ABOUT BEATING WOMEN THEN? HOW WILL YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT PRECIOUS BABY GIRL IN HER GRAVE BECAUSE HER BOYFRIEND BEAT HER TO DEATH? STILL THINK IT IS CUTE, SHARP, OR FUNNY? STILL THINK IT IS OK TO BEAT WOMEN?
