Rihanna Photo Leaked to Press

The LAPD is looking into the leaked photo of Rihanna after Chris plowed her and messed up her face. Currently TMZ has a picture of her and what she looked like right afterwards. Here’s what the LAPD is saying:
At about 7 p.m. on February 19, 2009, the Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations
Section began receiving numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a
domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris
Brown. The photograph appeared on an entertainment website. The photograph has the
appearance of one taken during an official Domestic Violence investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of
victims of domestic violence.
The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel
complaint.
A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including
termination.
Anyone with information concerning the unauthorized release of the photograph is asked to call,
during regular business hours, (213) 485-4152. After-hours or on weekends, calls may be
directed to our 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247). Callers may also text
