Photo of battered Rihanna leaked
Internet gossip site, TMZ just released this photo of Rihanna after Chris Brown allegedly attacked her last week. Police have launched an internal investigation to discover who leaked the gruesome photo to the press. The LAPD says the “unauthorized release of a domestic violence photograph” immediately set off the investigation and added that the photo was indeed taken “during an official Domestic Violence investigation.”
Earlier this week, Chris Brown released a statement on the incident, although some felt the statement wasn’t enough.
And last week we asked you, “Should she take him back?” and 1004 of you responded. 68% responded “No way,” and 15% said “Absolutely, everyone deserves a second chance.” Still, another 17% of you weren’t sure.

this pic is so tragic.
I heard he might be charged with Attempted Murder - he strangled her until she passed out!!!
BOYCOTT CHRIS BROWN!!!
i hope she's ok with the fact that this pic was released - i think it's shocking, but i personally think this shines a harsh light of reality on the issue.
my heart goes out to all abuse victims.
I think that it's not right for him to do that. The picture was bound to get out some way or another and if she hasn't complained about it yet, then she's being very mature about this. I think the world needs to know about this kind of thing. It makes the celebrities that we idolize seem more real; more human. It opens our eyes to what people are becoming. I think it should have been her choice if the picture was released, but again, if she isn't complaining, then everyone will see that domestic violence happens. And if she decides she never wants to see him again, other victims of domestic violence from all over will know that it doesn't have to go on; the violence can stop if you just walk away.

Rihanna is very beautiful and it hurts me to see her like this. I send my regards to her and her family. Everyone should remember that you should not be hurt.
In a perfect world, that works. This world is far from perfect. I agree that no one should get hurt, and if they're in this kind of situation, they shouldn't let it continue to happen, but everyone gets hurt. It's not always their fault and sometimes they can't stop it. Even though you shouldn't be hurt, doesn't mean you won't be. Keep that in mind.
