First Released Photo of Rihanna After the Attack

There have been a lot of stories and rumors running around regarding the altercation between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Many have their own versions and speculations as both parties kept their silence and didn't confirm anything. Yet, an evidence has been leaked to the public of Rihanna being badly beaten.

TMZ has obtained the first photo of Rihanna after the attack--and it's not pretty. It's really obvious that the contusions on her forehead were true as well as her getting a bloody lip and nose.

It's not yet known who leaked the photo to the press but the LAPD released their statement regarding the unauthorized release of the photograph which will probably end up to someone being fired soon.

This is just so distressing and I can only hope for Rihanna to have enough strength to get over this tough time and come out as a stronger and better person.
