48. Its good TMZ shows this. People need to stop saying "I am praying for them both" and own up to the fact that Chris Brown is a spoiled little punk with a temper, and tell the world its not right to hit a chick.

50. First of all, Bob Freeman... You are a digusting pig.... You should be locked up with Chris Brown and the other low lives that infect our planet.
Second, hopefully, Rihanna is strong enough to get away from Chris, prosecute him to the fullest extent and then find a man that will treat her right. Be strong... She could really be an example to millions of battered women if she follows through with this.

54. hmmm, not sure if that photo is real, there are so many fakes out there, and all the crazy rumors where 'some inside person' confirmed blah blah blah only those two know the truth, and they aren't talking.
TMZ should you really put this photo up?

55. Poor Rihanna. Remember when she was laughing at Britney when she performed on the mtv video awards? This is why you shouldn't laugh or make fun of other people, it all comes back to you

56. Seriously guys, this should never EVER been published. This is for her alone to publish
Real low TMZ

57. While I do think it is inappropriate for TMZ (or anyone else) to further victimize her by publishing these photos, it certainly does offer a grim dose of reality.
The saddest part is that most women (and men in similar abusive situations) forgive and forget this kind of thing until it is way too late.

58. I am glad that you posted the picture. I am so tired of hearing people say nice things about Chris Brown. The man is a punk thug who deserves jail time. You just do not beat on a woman. Period.No excuse.
