Is this actually rhianna?

Does anyone know if this is really a picture of Rhianna or if it's just another photo shop scandal of the Chris Brown incident? (because it seems to happen a lot, especially with celebs)

I'd say it's probably photoshopped... but I don't know.

I don't know... it has her tattoo.

It could still be photoshopped. People can really make things look good if they truly know what they're doing. But it could be her... who knows really.

I kind of doubt it because they are keeping it on the down low. I don't think TMZ could've gotten a hold of it...
But I read that he bit her and choked her...?

what he did to her really changed my mind about him...
but I dont think a pic of her would be out so soon.

I got it from the perezhilton website, and I didn't think he would put it up if it was photo shopped, who knows though.

I don't know THATS WHAT TMZ RELEASED BUT HER FAMILY SPOKE OUT AND SAID THAT HER INJURIES ARE NOT AS SERIOUS AS people WERE SAYN THEY WERE AND THOSE LOOK PRETTY BAD SO I don't know

If that's real, she looks horrible. I read on scandalist.com that he pummeled her and started choking her and said he was going to kill her...sad...

I don't know if thats the actual pic of her after...its a few out tho I have 1 0n my pro...

That's weird? I didn't think Perez did that? Put fake photos on his page, that is. But if that REALLY is Rihanna, wow. Makes me very pissed off at Chris Brown.

I'm not sure if it's real but I read an article about it earlier:

if it IS real, it's horrific. How could he do that to her?

Thats terrible...

It's a real image. That's why the LAPD is looking for the person who released the photo because it's a crime to disclose that kind of information/image. That might also support the argument that the image is actually Rihanna.

I've been comparing some photos of her to this one since yesterday and can't come up with a solid answer. What makes me think this picture might (very strong 'might') be legit is her nose because it's very distinct, and the tattoo is supposedly authentic as well. There was another image of a battered Rihanna leaked in which she was wearing sunglasses and had a black eye, but that one was quickly dismissed. I think if this one were fake you'd see the same thing, but it's been over 24 hours and no statement has been released debunking what the public is being told by these media sites.

What makes me skeptical is the fact that things can so easily be manipulated. You can't really trust images on the internet, and where I work I actually do these kinds of things (but, I don't leak images of bruised celebrities).
