Celeb-news website TMZ has obtained a photo of what it says is Rihanna post-Chris Brown (alleged) beatdown. Here it is.
But the LAPD ain't happy about it, releasing this statement:
The unauthorized release of a domestic violence photograph immediatelygenerated an internal investigation.
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.
