Rihanna -- The Face of a Battered Woman Abused by Chris Brown

Is dat nose from da beatin or da gene pool?

If he's being investigated for allegedly threatening to kill her, and strangling her until she passed out, why DOESN'T she have marks around her neck? When my girlfriends husband tried to kill her, he left CLEAR fingerprints all around her throat. I'm thinking that while he deserves some jail time, some counseling, and some anger management, I also think that maybe someone (the police??) is embellishing this story to increaase the public backlash against him. Shame on them!!!

look, it doesn't matter what Rihanna did, or said. You don't hit a woman, period, end of story.

WOW.. Poor girl.

51. Is that really her?? This girl's nose is really wide, i dont think Rihanna's nose is like that. Well, if it is her, thats really sad

YOUR nose would be that wide too if it was smashed doofus...duh, that's what a punch in the nose does.......

Rihanna, please press charges. Chris MUST go to jail and anger management classes for this unfortunated event even if this is another doctored up pic or the truth. Your safety and the safety of others is not to be taken lightly around someone that cannot control his emotions. Please seek the help of others whenever you feel threatend your fans love you and you have a good heart. Chris cannot say that he loves you because that is a lie--love is not hitting someone that is anger that is hatred manifested. I pray that your family and close friends will be with you in this time of need and read books for battered women available from the YWCA. If you need a city out of the prying eyes of photographers come to Ft Wayne, IN and seek out the domestic violence shelter or counselours in my city. On a side note: This is for Chris, I pray that you seek help and can't wait to see what happens to your last 15 minutes of fame because not a single radio station is playing your music in my city (2nd largest in the state of Indiana). So yet again ends a dumb thugs career due to violence.

To all of you saying the photo shouldn't be published --

1. It's public record since it was a crime

2. People NEED to see this. People NEED to see what he did to her. Other women need to see the reality of an abusive relationship.

And if Rihanna goes back to him, SHAME on her.

This is terrible, I really feel for her.
But I think it's kind of good that these pictures came out, because the public needed to really understand how bad this situation really is.

We never found out what she did for him to do this to her. maybe she was asking for it?

Wow, Chris Brown you have really gone and done it!!!! I really don't think you can buy your way out of this one homeboy!!!! Oh, and all the lovely endorsements, Kiss those all good bye.... Can we say Career gone BYE BYE... What an idiot!!!

TMZ can you disable printing of this picture before it is abused or photoshopped?

Are you sure your cameraman didn't just go snag a picture from some crack ho up the street?

I believe with zero tolerance laws the DA can file charges even if she does not want to

HELLO THIS PHOTSHOPED!!!!!!!! HOW DID IT GO FROM HER FATHER SAYING SHE ONLY HAD MINOR BRUISES TO THIS?? CAUSE ITS FAKE. YOU PPL JUST BELIEVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE AND HEAR.

TAKE THE PICTURE DOWN!!!!!

TMZ, you should be ashamed.
