 Rihanna: Photo after alleged Chris Brown's assault released
A photograph that appears to be a face of Rihanna full of bruises, scratches and swelling from an attack allegedly at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown was posted on Thursday night by the celebrity website TMZ.
Sources have thrown more light on the news of Rihanna. According to them, the close-up image shows a welt above each of the woman's eyebrows, marks on her cheek and around her lips, and general swelling. However TMZ declined to say how it obtained the photo or when it was taken or by whom.
Hours after the photograph being posted, the Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal investigation and asked for the help of the public in finding the person who leaked it. As per police news release the image "has the appearance" of one taken during a domestic violence investigation, and classified its release as a case of serious misconduct that could result in termination.”
After being asked earlier on Thursday whether he would give the confirmation of the origin of the photograph, LAPD Officer Jason Lee only added that the department did not release images of the woman who accused Brown, and would not release evidence photos. A representative for the district attorney commented that all evidence related to the case was still with police.
An Associated Press photo of Rihanna, taken before the party on the night of the incident, shows her with a tattoo of Roman numerals on her left shoulder. The TMZ photograph shows the same numerals on the same shoulder. TMZ previously used its site to show up a manipulated image that depicted Rihanna with a black eye.
No public statement has been issued on behalf of Rihanna. Also email and telephone messages left on Thursday along with representatives for both Brown and Rihanna were not immediately returned.
