Rihanna Issues Statement: Thanks fans for support, won’t comment on Brown

Rihanna has finally broken her silence on her beating at the hands of Chris Brown.
In a statement released to the media, Rihanna said that she would not comment on Brown, but did want to thank fans.
“At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown,” the statement read. “She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.”
The statement follows growing controversy over the Rihanna assault photo published by TMZ. Los Angeles Police are investigating how the photo was leaked, with suggestions that TMZ may have paid for the official LAPD evidence shot. A police spokesman said an internal investigation could lead to criminal conspiracy charges.

If this is really Rihanna,I feel Chris Brown was way outta line,,,no matter how far a women pushes a man,he should have the control to not beat her to this degree…this shows he was in a rage!! )Likewise,,it didn´t solve anything.)However, why would a young man who has everything going for him,and a beauty like Rihanna for a girlfriend just up and beat her thinking no one would notice?I see 2 young people with too much money and Fame and no actual sense.My sympathies still to Rihanna,,,get better and move on, babe…

She's not just strong, she's a tough woman after what she had been through. She had the strength and courage to assure her fans that she's fine and even thanked them. Anyway, there's always sunshine after the rain.

it saddens me that as a victum of something so horrific that rhianna's picture could be postered every where for the whole world to see; as if she does not already have enough to think about. How can she heal with these types of photos posted on every screen. my heart goes out to her as a victum and a women. Hopefully with the help of god she can get past this point in her life. I really hope that chris brown on the other hands sees this picture every time he opens his eyes, so that he can realize what a terrible mistake he made and how many people he has hurt and changed lives for ever. She is beautiful young lady with hopes and dreams. I also hope that chris brown and rhianna both seek help to get through what has happened.
