Battered Rihanna Photo Now Circulating The Internet
It looks like somebody has sold 21-year-old Rihanna out because TMZ now has their hands on the photo of a battered Rihanna taken after the police were called the day of the Grammy’s. Just like the early police leaks said, she has two bumps on her forheard that resemble devil horns, a split and swollen lip, and bruised face.
This has got to be one of the worst invasions of celebrity privacy I’ve seen yet. I wonder how much TMZ paid for the photo? The defence attorney can even use the leaked picture of Rihanna to help Chris Brown’s case.
Investigators are currently trying to determine the authenticity of the TMZ photo and find out who leaked the photo to the media. CNN has decided to not to air the photo of assualted Rihanna either on television or online at the CNN website. Not only does the publication of the picture invade Rihanna’s privacy but it could quite possibly deter abused woman from contacting police after an assault because they are worried about privacy issues. This is one picture that should never have been published.
